[may1]

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Halloween.

These movies are the ones that scare me the most. What does it for you?

I'm not as cool as may1 to be able to post an image, so i'll just offer up the names of my 2 scariest movies: The Exorcist and Silence of the Lambs. (Special mention for 'The Shining').

[Hardly@Work]

I don't do so well with scary movies.
Poltergeist--first scary movie I ever watched, 4th grade---still scares the shit out of me
Children of the Corn: the original, when the kid is lying in the road and jumps up---whoo
Chucky- in 6th grade it scared me because I had a doll that sat in a rocking chair in our playroom that looked just like him, and I swear it would rock by itself

Never watched the exorcist--the slumber parties with the above mentioned were enough to do me in.

Tonight I am going to try the new version of the Omen. Anyone seen it?

What are your plans for today? This past Saturday I had a Halloween party for my roommates kid and his friends- lots of fun!

[Pattijoretired]

I just wanted to say Happy Halloween. I love scary movies so I don't have any to share about scaring me.

[campfiregirl]

EEK! I hate the movie The Birds. Nightmares for weeks....

I love Halloween but can't stand spending the $$ on candy. I get between 100-
150 trick-or-treaters. I just want to yell "Get off my porch ya little rugrats!" Then of course my own kids come home and I inspect their candy.:o

Have a scary night:)

So he can clean up after himself? Because he couldn't hold the beer in him when he drinks it he is all bones.

LOVE scary movies!! Here's a few of my faves:

Scream-the original is the best, the first scene with Drew rocks
Frailty-very underrated IMHO, seriously, rent it!
The Others-you don't need gore for suspense
Identity-awesome, love the twists

[OD-TV]

[QUOTE=Hardly@Work;22698] Tonight I am going to try the new version of the Omen. Anyone seen it? [QUOTE]

I just saw the new version. I would stick with the old one, so much better. The Hills Have Eyes completly freaked me out. I watch a ton of horror movies. this week I watched Bella Lagosi in Dracula - hilarious, as well as House of Dracula. last night it was Amityville Horror - love it. I like the new version too.

[chick110]

Hitchcock movies are all very great. Although some of his later English ones weren't as great. The Birds is one of my all time favorites as well as Vertigo and Rear Window. Strangers On A Train ranks up there too.

I can't watch scary movies anymore, I'm not sure why that is. Blair Witch Project made me not sleep for a while--that was so creepy and I still have no idea what was going on most of the time. LOL

Tried to watch Stephen King's It the other night and it creeped me out again--Tim Curry is so SCARY as Pennyworth (or whatever the scary clown's name is), I had to turn it off. Although The Shining never scared me that much. The book was way more scarier than the movie.

There were scenes in the first Scream that were filmed a half block from my house! I'm not a big horror guy, but I liked Scream.

[zoobabe]

i hope I don't get any trick-or-treaters b/c I'm looking forward to DWTS and VM tonight (plus wine and boyfriend):D .

My fave scary movies are:

The Exorcist
Blair Witch Project (I know, but it scared me!)
Nightmare On Elm Street
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original)
The Grudge
The Shining

[AngelVenom]

I love and hate scary movies. Can't watch em' alone. I watched child's play movies and made my boyfriend take me to the washroom. I'm such a wuss.

The Blair Witch Project scared me too. Especially the ending with the guy standing in the corner facing the wall. Totally freaked me out!

I loved Frailty and The Shining also.

Both of those scared the beejeebers outta me. That clown doll was the first step in my total phobia of clowns. (I know, how common)

Hitchcock movies are all very great.

I minored in film with an emphasis on the films of Hitchcock, I came away with a great love for his movies and less for the man - what a mysogonist and talk about Mommy issues. Sheesh.

The Blair Witch Project scared me too. Especially the ending with the guy standing in the corner facing the wall. Totally freaked me out!

That movie is why I can never go in the woods. Again. Ever. :huh2:

[copygodd]

i'll watch pretty much anything with zombies. as you can no doubt tell from my avatar and personal site: ingrown brain stem (http://www.ingrownbrainstem.com).

[EdHill]

im watching Corpse Bride right now. It's very good. But Tim Burton has got to stop with the Helena Bonham Carter in everything he does. You dont see me talking about Lizardqueen in all of my recaps.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

No - just in most of your forum posts. :p

Need any candy? I got it all. He He He...

[chick110]

LOL, we ran out last night because the "Super Jumbo" bags of candy surprisingly did NOT have super jumbo AMOUNTS of candy. I bought 3 bags and it lasted maybe an hour and a half. None left over, thankfully!! :)

[may1]

I noticed those jumbo bags weren't jumbo in my book. I had 6 bags, which lasted just under 2 hours. Although I did save a few pieces for me. I noticed kids not dressed. One kid had on jeans and a t-shirt. I asked what he was, he said a gang member. WTF? I said, not on my porch you're not!!

[Pattijoretired]

We ran out also. But we only bought one Super Jumbo bag, because we live in a new neighborhood this year and didn't know what the out come would be. (last year in the same town we only had 3 trick-or-treaters and that's counting the collgege students that came by for can food) So when we ran out at 6:59 I went to the store and bought three more small bags of candy and we ran out of that also. Well we had one left over that my Hubby saved for himself. It was a busy night.

[HoneyBunny]

I woke up surrounded by empty candy wrappers....

We bought 3 super jumbo bags, each had like 250 pieces, because last year we ran out and had to turn our light off, but this year I was SO proud of the pumpkin I carved that I didn't want to have to quit early....We got maybe 50 kids and gave handfuls to as many as we could.... so... many... leftovers... cannot... type...... buried....... under.... skittles.... h... e... l... p....

I made my daddy take me to see that in the theater for my bday I thought it was great at the time, but re watching it, I understand what you mean about helena

As long as he stays with Johnny I'm happy

Cute new baby pic. I was starting to wonder if he had grown any. LOL He is probably growing like a weed.

We had over a 100. At first I gave two or three pieces of candy out and then I knew we were going to run out so I started giving out one. Then when we ran out so early and I still wanted to Keep my pumpkins out also so I bought more. The next time I only gave out one piece at a time. The only problem I had was that we had several repete trick-or-treaters. I know because I knew most of the kids from subbing in the local schools so I knew most of the repetes by their face. (they either had on make-up or no mask.) So who knows how many came back with a mask on. The repeters were smart though they would come back in a larger group of new people and then mix in with them. SO I couldn't say you have already been here three times save some candy from the others. (not that I would have said that) I think why they would repete at our house was because of the decroations and also we live right in front of a street that circles back around to our street. So the kids probably started at our house then crossed the street and went around that street. Then when they got back to our house they couldn't remember if the had hit our house or not. We had lots of fun.

That's so cute Pek....somebody was in the spirit of halloween.

Thanks guys! I'll pass on the kind thoughts to my spawn.

And I'd love to say he's waving at the camera, but it's more of a "I'm excited and can't control my arm movements and Mommy just happened to take a picture at this exact moment" pose :D

[Pattijoretired]

Hey guys I just thought I would share some pics. I don't know I am just in the mood to share. Greta was scared of the fan noise on Frankenstien so she would not let me take a good pic. The Racoon pumpkin is the one my Hubby did and I did the Boo one.

Thanks May, that is my little devil dog. In that picture she has one eye shut so she looks like she is winking. Of course you can't tell on here because the pic. is too small.

[Cherie]

Just found this thread and thought I would resurrect it so that everyone will post their pics and stories about Halloween.
And also just to say Happy Halloween!

I think i'm going to dress up as Buffy this halloween.

[Pegster]

I think i'm going to dress up as Buffy this halloween.

I went as Buffy one year. I'm fairly certain your rendition will blow mine away. I'd like photo-documentation please.

[jampony]

I think i'm going to dress up as Buffy this halloween.

Told ya' you'd like it.

(I'm gonna dress up as Giles.)

[Pekmboyd]

I'm totally irritated - I don't care for Halloween, as a rule, I'm not into anything creepy or bloody or scary, which pretty much rules everything out. But THIS year, I was all excited, because Toddler Pek is big enough to get all dressed up and help scoop out pumpkin guts - and I found this ADORABLE Yoda costume I was gonna get him. Only come to find out my mother bought him a duck outfit. A duck. He was gonna be Yoda! Not like he was gonna go trick-or-treating or anything, but still.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

You could always save the duck for Easter and do Yoda this year. Or the duck could be for play time - make that whole "Duck, Duck, Goose" thing more fun.

[Cherie]

LoL Pek! You just reminded me of the time my sister sent hubby out to get a ninja costume for their son and he came back with Jar Jar Binx! I thought my sister was literally going to kill him!
You could always let him dress as the duck and then "accidentally" get pumkin guts all over him and switch to Yoda.:sneaky2:

[lennonwhore]

I agree with Tink.s theory.

I think i.m going to be Luigi for Halloween this year, and Becs is going to be Mario.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I have a Pirate Mistress outfit - ordered it way back when. But not sure if I am gonna do Halloween this year.

[Treadingonme]

I need an idea for a Halloween costume. I wanted to go as one of the Flight of the Conchords, but I don't think I look alike them enough (Bret would be easy, just buy a t-shirt with a giant lion's face on it). Last year I went as Charlie from Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and it was cheap and easy. So something that's clever and cheap and easy. Anybody have any ideas?

[chooch850]

Go as Evel Dick from BB8.....

[Cherie]

Go as Evel Dick from BB8.....
Or a Bio-hazard waste container. Same thing!:D

[RachWho?]

My friend once went as Jared from the Subway commercials. Just wear some glasses, dress plain, a pair of pants too big you belt to hold them up, and carry around something wrapped in a Subway wrapper so it looks like a sub. It was actually really hilarious. Everyone got it immediately.

[minda07]

I have an old cheerleading uniform that I am going to wear.

Treading are you white? I ask because you could just tape pieces of paper and other garbage to you and go as white trash.

[John Bender]

I don't think I'm dressing up this year - except as adult supervision for my trick-or-treating rugrats.

Last year, I dressed up as Hagar The Horrible. I need to find the pic of that, and post it in the "Slutfest" thread. The year before that, I lived in Tallahassee - and dressed as a referee from the ACC (complete with striped shirt, black pants, hat, whistle, dark sunglasses, white cane w/ red tip, and my dog - who was dressed up as a seeing-eye dog).

[Treadingonme]

Who's to say I'm not white trash already? The blind ref sounds like a pretty awesome costume. I was thinking something along the lines of a little more clever/pop culture-y. Keep coming with the suggestions though!

[Cherie]

Go as Britney Spears. Doesn't matter if you're a girl or guy. Especially the way she's been looking lately. Get a shitty looking wig, some trashy clothes, a cigerette. Stick one baby doll on your back with a bag of fritoes, one baby on the hip holding a beer with a nipple stuck to the top. Possibilities are endless...........

Just wear a short skirt and no underwear......

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Once I went as the road, I wore a black t-shirt and black pants and used hockey stick tape to make a solid and a dotted line. I printed up road signs on label paper and stuck those all over me. I had a one way sign on my butt, dangerous curves ahead near my chest and a caution, men at work sign near my lady parts.

I added litter and took an old beanie baby and pulled out the stuffing, painted it with red nailpolish and made the eyes into x's for road kill. I took the tires off my nephews tonka truck for bracelets and had stop sign earrings.

I came in 2nd for a halloween contest.

[Treadingonme]

I continue to be impressed by the elaborate and creative costume ideas. So far none has piqued my interest yet...

[minda07]

You could go as Sen. Craig - wear dress shoes and socks dress shirt and tie - you can take a large cardboard box and paint it grey attach it to suspenders - just make it look like you do not have any pants on. I think that would be hilarious!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

My sister used to always be dressed from the headlines:

1 year she had on a citadel track suit with the word drop out stamped on it - she was Shannon Faulkner (not sure if you younger folks remember her).

Another year she wore a zipped up hoodie with a mustache and sunglasses and carried a package - she was the unabomber.

The year the Starr Report was issued she blew up the front and back pages and had them laminated, wore those sandwich board style and handed out candy cigars.

With that in mind - you could have two stuffed dogs attacking each other, wear a football jersey and be Michael Vick.

Put on a blonde curly wig and bloody your mouth and be Johnnie Fairplay.

Wear a bad combover, a suit and tie and walk around bad mouthing Rosie.

Ok - I gotta ponder this a bit - more later.

Don't dress up at all - when people ask you what you are - tell them you are a Serial Killer, they look like everyone else.

[Pekmboyd]

Just wear a suit and walk around saying "Suit Up!" all night - Barney - easy peasy.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

OMG - I love that! Or for that Halloween flair - patch up. hehehe

[Cherie]

Go as TvGasm! Has anybody done that before? Make a computer screen with recaps and some of the crazier I mean lovely members of TvGasm represented by things like a pixie(who could that be?) maybe an archeologist peeing on some mean church lady's Land Rover? This is about where my creativity ends!

[Treadingonme]

I don't get the reference Pek. I am mildly retarded however, so it may just be my problem. I would love to go as Stephen Colbert, but I'm not sure I could really make it happen and be obvious.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Ok - it's official,we are dressing up and going to Disney for Halloween. Imagine a theme park full of costumes - it kicks major ass.

Here are the parts of my costume I have assembled so far:

The costume
698

The hat
701

The necklace and earrings
700

And the boots - with my back I can't wear the spikes like the girl in the photo of the costume - plus these are more theme park friendly
699

[minda07]

Where did you get that - its awesome! That would have worked when I went to the Pirate Princess party at Disney! I love there Halloween party - its loads of fun!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Hat and costume off Ebay, necklace and boots off Amazon. :)

wow love the costume. It almost makes me like the idea of dressing up.
Is Amazon like ebay

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Amazon is very all inclusive like Ebay - but it's not auctions, it's just stuff you can buy. Then again - Ebay also has the buy it now feature so that's very amazon-like.

Oh and Tom - you could buy a Survivor buff, wear a bathing suit, dirty yourself up and walk around stabbing people in the back.

[lloyd Dobbler]

Just wear a suit and walk around saying "Suit Up!" all night - Barney - easy peasy.

Going as the Barnacle would be awesome, but too few people would get it, which is a sad sad commentary on the general public!

[photochild]

I wasn't going to dress up this year but I got invited to an awersome party, so I will. Bio-mom keeps suggesting that I should dress up like Beth from Dog the Bounty Hunter because we apparently are the same bra size (I don't believe it, she looks bigger). But I'm not sure. I'm debating. I have my old standby 80s chick outfit I can wear. And I still have the Hooters outfit.

[Pekmboyd]

I don't get the reference Pek. I am mildly retarded however, so it may just be my problem. I would love to go as Stephen Colbert, but I'm not sure I could really make it happen and be obvious.

Barney is the best character EVER - he's on How I Met Your Mother, played by Neil Patrick Harris formerly of Doogie Howser fame, and he RULES.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Photo - you could always go as the TVGasm Prom Queen complete with tiara, sash, and remote control.

OMG!! That would be awesome cause she is so over the top!

[Treadingonme]

Ugh. I hate How I Met Your Mother. Although that would be a good costume if I did like it. I agree that not many people would get the reference though. I was also thinking about going as GOB Bluth, but again, I think it would be pretty obscure and unrecognizable. I do have a denim jacket from my costume last year that I can always use if necessary.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Ok get the denim jacket, put on a dark shirt, jeans, wear your bangs long and over your face and put a line of blood across your forehead ending in a drip.

Peter Petrelli - from the cliffhanger last season. :)

[Treadingonme]

Hmm. Maybe I could get some sort of plain black t-shirt, and trucker hand (turned around obviously). I could go as Sylvester Stallone from Over the Top, sans muscle.

[lloyd Dobbler]

Ok at first i was like, "Hates HIMYM? Thats crazy!" but then i was "Did they just make an over the top reference, and YOU TOTALLY REDEEMED YOURSELF"

Just remember he wore the hat facing forward, then when he turned it around, it was like he was becoming a different person, or words to that effect, i havent seen it in quite awhile:)

[Treadingonme]

Glad I could redeem myself. I also have not seen Over the Top in years, but I remember Sly turning the hat around whenever it was time to get down to business. And by business I mean arm-wrestling for custody of his child.

If you go as GOB Bluth, you must carry around a boombox that plays "The Final Countdown" over and over again. That would be so awesome.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

OOH that gave me an idea for you Tom. Blonde wig, doo rag, bad 80's clothes, blue eye liner - be Bret Michaels!

[lloyd Dobbler]

Glad I could redeem myself. I also have not seen Over the Top in years, but I remember Sly turning the hat around whenever it was time to get down to business. And by business I mean arm-wrestling for custody of his child.

That just made me choke as in laughter. How about when he drove thru the mansion in his semi, ahhhhh sly where have you gone?

On good news note i have my mask and my sock garters *wink wink tink* for my costume and cant wait to get the rest for halloween so i can post pics.

[lennonwhore]

i think i.m going to be a Blue Meanie for Halloween.

[LonnaSaur]

I don't have any reason to dress up but Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love to decorate for it. I have a Halloween tree and a fairly decent-sized collection of vintage Halloween noisemakers that I really love. I hope everyone will post photos of their very creative costumes! Is anyone going to dress their pet??

Unfortunately i no longer have dogs, but i passed a whole section at target of pet costumes, and thought"Dang! i wanted to dree a pet up as a little indiana jones with whip and all!"

[lennonwhore]

OMG! I never even thought of it! I think I.M going to go dressed up as Indiana Jones this year!!! How perfect! I don.t even have to buy anything (except maybe a whip, but who doesn.t need a whip?)

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Gotta admit, I'm shocked you don't already have one.

[Treadingonme]

Maybe lennonwhore just needs a new whip because the old one is worn out. VERY worn out.

[Treadingonme]

In other news I don't think I can make over the top happen. So I'm still searching for ideas...

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Keep searching bud :p

I gave you a plethora of great ideas and you just poo-poo'd them. So now I'm too pouty to offer more.

[Treadingonme]

I could always just dress normally and then tell people I'm a commando. Or going commando.

disclaimer: I apologize if that gave anyone a mental image.

[lloyd Dobbler]

Ok first of all, the whip comments.....LMAO
secondly, MAKE OVER THE TOP WORK!!! All across america people are cheering(silently)for this to happen!!

In other news i got the last 2 parts to my costume last night an i am ready to go, cant wait to post the pics:)

[lennonwhore]

Over the Top has to happen.

My whip is worn out...so I need a new one. Maybe a brown one to replace the old black one. Indiana Jones is going to happen, then I.m going to post tons of pics.

And you can all comment about the size of my trowel and my whip.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I just wrote "I love you" on my eyelids and am blinking at ya Lenon ;)

[Treadingonme]

I don't think Over the Top will happen. Too obscure. So I'm thinking my new idea will be Dwight. I just need a lot of cheap clothes and glasses. And perhaps a wig that will look ridiculous when parted in the middle.

[Cherie]

I got these pics in an email today. I don't know whose kids they are but they are adorable and I want to adopt them.

[lennonwhore]

after weeks of being abnormally warm, it.s supposed to drop to 45 degrees for saturday (the night of our halloween party).

stupid, now my costume is going to require a thick jacket!

[Cherie]

Here are some more.

[Treadingonme]

I have a serious problem with these pictures Cheriestake. It reminds me of some posters Angela would put up by her desk. I think it's child cruelty though. I may actually have more of a problem with these pictures than someone dressing up their cat and taking pictures of that

[chooch850]

Oh come on TOM.... that bunny baby is adorable!

I just thought they were cute pics. Are you saying that anyone who plays dress up or dresses their kids for Halloween is cruel to children? I'm afraid we will have to agree to disagree on this one. BTW who's Angela?

Angela is from The Office - best show you're apparently not watching!

And while I normally would side with TOM on this one, I'm dressing my kid as a duck so I really don't have a leg to stand on.

Pek, it could be SOOOO much worse. My husband and I found this link the other day: http://www.buycostumes.com/Category/129/56/results1.aspx

Here are some examples:

By the way, please notice the misspellings.

I like the picture on the "woopie cushion." "Look at my child! It thinks farting is funny too!"

Also, to point out, my anti-child-picture rant was Oscar-esque. I have no problem with dressing up your kids, especially for Halloween. However if it's just done so pictures can be taken of them...

[LonnaSaur]

I can't wait until BabySaur is here and can be dressed up for Halloween. It's my favorite holiday and I LOVED getting my costume each year when I was a kid. I think it's fun.

Here are some more.

I am loving the giraff!

[TaniaNicole]

Go as Evel Dick from BB8.....

LMAO! I'm working that day, so I'm going as a bartender, but otherwise I might go as Daniele!

My niece is dressing her cat up - she bought him a fish costume.

hahhahaha, omg, now that is funny. Cute!

Ok first of all, the whip comments.....LMAO
secondly, MAKE OVER THE TOP WORK!!! All across america people are cheering(silently)for this to happen!!

In other news i got the last 2 parts to my costume last night an i am ready to go, cant wait to post the pics:)

Can't wait to see them!

Oh come on TOM.... that bunny baby is adorable!

lol, yea, I like the bunny, the seal and the fishie one. The bat one is cool, but how the hell is the kid going to go trick or treating like that? I like the Peeps one, too.

My neice is going as a little 50's girl, with a poodle skirt and black top, with keds made into saddle shoes with felt.

and my scariest movies are..

The Shining
Excorcist
The Omen
Amityville Horror 1
Poltergeist (Damn that clown and that tree and the static snow on the tv, ahhh!)

I forget the rest. :D

[Treadingonme]

Are we talking the original Omen, or the remake? The remake was bad, except for when Julia Stiles was getting killed. Then it was enjoyable.

The Descent is the best horror movie I've seen in a long time. I also enjoy the Grudge. I would also say that Norbit is one of the scariest movies ever, and not because it was actually scary, but it's terrifying that it was made and people actually watched it.

Also saw 30 days of Night this weekend. Do yourself a favor: avoid it.

[Cherie]

Also, to point out, my anti-child-picture rant was Oscar-esque.
Would that be Oscar the Grouch?:D
However, looking at the kid in the bat costume. It's very cute but I assumed that the kid wasn't really hanging upside down. They just rotated the picture. Atleast that's what I'm hoping.

And the original Omen scared the living crap out of me. Haven't seen the remakes. I'm a remake snob.

[chooch850]

TOM.... duh!..... "House".... you should be him. You write the recap. Perfect choice!.... jeans, blue sneakers, dress shirt or T-shirt with emblem, dress jacket, don't shave for a week, and ,of course, a cane!... maybe a stethoscope for effect.

[Treadingonme]

Oh don't think I haven't thought about being House. Too obscure though. I would just look like a normal dude with a cane. And I don't want to have to explain to people what I am. I had to do that last year. I was annoyed.

[lloyd Dobbler]

I am itchin to wear my costume and just walk around in it!! Why does halloween have to be for only 1 day?!?!?

[lennonwhore]

In my world, Halloween is every day. Going to a party? Wear a costume! Bored? Wear a costume!

Nothing says a good time like costumes!

[Pegster]

Or beer.

[lennonwhore]

or both!

[Pegster]

Or.....no pants.

[ScotyUtah]

The Utards haven't been witness to the Slash get-up, so I'm going to rock that and my wife is going to go as Axl Rose. Plus the party I'm going to is a home brewed beer contest as well and I'm entering my amber ale to see how I stack up with the veteran brewers. It's almost a full moon.... loooooooook out!!!

[LonnaSaur]

You could wear a hospital I.D. badge on your lab coat that says Dr. House.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Halloween isn't just one day. For example, last weekend some peeps I know had a costume party. Tomorrow night I'm dressing up for Disney World, then there's parties downtown on Saturday (I'm not going, just saying there are parties). Then Sunday you watch scary movies at home, maybe go on a hayride. That leads up to Halloween.

[Treadingonme]

For me Halloween is just one day. And it involves imbibing copious amounts of alcohol on Saturday night. The only difference from normal Saturday nights is that I will be dressed slightly differently.

[Pegster]

I've given in to the peer pressure and am dressing up. I'm going as my idol: The Travelocity Roaming Gnome. I'm gonna look fierce. My only regret is that I was unable to track down some snorkling gear like he wears in one of the ads.

[animalcrackers]

OMG Peg that is an awesome costume! you should get someone else to dress as PhilPackage (TM) and then you would have a whole theme going on!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Try this - it's a great way to kill the last few minutes at work:

[Fire@Will]

There... just going as myself this year...

Happy Halloween, everyone! ;)

[Fire@Will]

DANG it!

[Pegster]

DANG it!

Try attaching it to the file. It looks like it might have been saved as a document.

For those not blessed enough to have seen it yet, here I am in all my gnomely glory.

[chooch850]

Tink... your game is so much fun... thanks! It's like bowling down my own cats!!!

.... and Peg, you are totally awesome.... got any trips available?

[lennonwhore]

Peg, that costume is AWESOME!!!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

My brother Andrew, Sister-In-Law Suzanne and Nephew Jason - in their Halloween Costumes. Does it get any cuter than this?

[Pegster]

Oh that's just wrong. Love.

[Cherie]

Tink that is too cute.

[photochild]

Hahahaha, Tink, that is so cute. I love it.

[animalcrackers]

OMG! I LOVE the lobster costume!!!!! so cute!

[RachWho?]

Peg, that costume is fabulous!

And Tink, SO very cute, although Andrew looks fearful.

[minda07]

Tink that costume is way too cute!

Pegster - did you win your costume contest?

[angiemarie]

Peg, you make a great gnome.

Tink, those costumes are so cute. I love the melted butter in the baby bottle.

[Pekmboyd]

Here's my little Halloween Duck:

We went Trick-or-Treating, and he LOVED it - he was running down the street with his little bucket.

http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m222/pekmboyd/NewPicsHalloween2007062-1.jpg

[TinkerbellAPixie]

OMG Pek - he's so cute! I love his costume! Plus it looks so cozy.

[Pegster]

Baby Pek is the cutest!! Let me know how the giving him sugar thing works out :D

[Pekmboyd]

Baby Pek is the cutest!! Let me know how the giving him sugar thing works out :D

Oh my....well....it results in Baby Pek standing in the living room spinning in circles, and promptly falling asleep. It's the most rapid sugar crash you can possibly imagine.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Awww.

How cute! What was the weather like for you?

[Pekmboyd]

Awww.

How cute! What was the weather like for you?

It was actually really nice - we had good cloud cover so it wasn't too cold, and no rain!

[Cherie]

Pek, that is a beautiful baby!

[chooch850]

Seeing Baby Duck and Baby Lobster proves one thing..... Halloween is for the children. They are so adorable.


..... oh and Peg, you're adorable too.

[lennonwhore]

Baby Pek is too cute as wee duck. I think I mentioned elsewhere, but baby Lobster is also adorable!

[RachWho?]

LOVE Baby PekDuck. So cute! :)

[animalcrackers]

since everyone else has such cute halloween costume pics up i thought i would add my niece's pic in as well. Here she is in her first halloween costume (she's only 2 months old) as a dalmation! the big paws are so cute!

[minda07]

Pek - Your little duck is soooo cute

AC - Awwww, your niece is darling!

[lennonwhore]

AC, that picture is precious!

Ok, here is me and my friend (after quite a few beers). I.m Indiana Jones and she.s Margot Tenenbaum.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g269/lennonwhore/sarahandmary.jpg

[LonnaSaur]

All these baby pix are amazingly cute. I can't wait until BabySaur celebrates his/her first Halloween next year!

Also, love the Roaming Gnome costume (although those commercials drive me batty, plus the blatant product placement on The Amazing Race), and Len as Indiana Jones is AWESOME! Everyone looks great!

I didn't even have the wherewithal to decorate this year. The apartment is a huge mess and still filled with gifts and crap from the wedding so not only was there no space to get out all my stuff, there was no place to put it anyway. I miss my Halloween tree! Sniffle!

[animalcrackers]

I miss my Halloween tree! Sniffle!

what is this halloween tree that you speak of?

[Treadingonme]

Forget the Halloween tree. I am amazed and Lonnasaur's ability to predict a baby within the next year!

[Pegster]

I'm putting my Christmas tree up tomorrow.

[Pekmboyd]

Forget the Halloween tree. I am amazed and Lonnasaur's ability to predict a baby within the next year!

Did you miss the announcement? There's a BabySaur on the way!







Rach's post made me realize I missed a HUGE opportunity to properly caption one of my photos. So here it is:

Baby Peking Duck (I KILL me! :w00t:)

[TinkerbellAPixie]

LMAO Pek - too cute.

I loved the little dalmation babyyyyyy. So so cute.

Len you look darling as Indy.

[RachWho?]

Yummm...Peking duck and lobster? I am having me one of those babies. They are delicious!

Oh yeah, and Len, I loved the costume...did your friend wear a fake finger tip?

[LonnaSaur]

what is this halloween tree that you speak of?

It's a black tree with orange lights and I have all kinds of Halloween ornaments for it: pumpkins and jack'o'lanterns, skeletons, ghosts, owls, mice, stars, mushrooms, Indian corn, ornaments in typically Halloween colors, etc. I will post a photo from last year so you get the idea!

[LonnaSaur]

Here it is with the lights on the tree turned on.

How come some of you can post such big, detailed images but mine are always small and wimpy? These look terrible, you can't see any detail. Oh well!

[Karo]

But they are thumbnails, Lonna! If we click on them they go big!

Nice tree.

[Cherie]

I want one of those Lonna. Can I ask where you got it? I love that!

[animalcrackers]

ahhh i see now! that is actually pretty awesome & super festive! thanks for the pics Lonna :)

[lennonwhore]

Yummm...Peking duck and lobster? I am having me one of those babies. They are delicious!

Oh yeah, and Len, I loved the costume...did your friend wear a fake finger tip?

Alas, no, but her fiancee did go as Richie...

[LonnaSaur]

But they are thumbnails, Lonna! If we click on them they go big!

Oh, yes, I see that now. Thanks for pointing it out. Duh!

I want one of those Lonna. Can I ask where you got it? I love that!

I have collected the ornaments for years but a good place to look for them, believe it or not, is Christmas stores. Christopher Radko makes some, and Old World Christmas, and a newer company called Glitterville that has really cool stuff and is bringing back older designs, too. The tree itself is by Department 56 and I bought it three years ago now but I can't remember where.

ahhh i see now! that is actually pretty awesome & super festive! thanks for the pics Lonna :)

Glad you like it!

I don't care what you do, you'll always be "peck" to me. But I give you props for using your son's adorableness to remind us all that it's pronounced "peek"!

[Pegster]

She's always "peck" in my mind, too!!
