All Hallows Eve - so what did you get up to?

[furie]

No real reason for the topic, just a talking point I guess

Did you go to a party, make a big effort with your house, hide in the dark ignoring annoying trick or treaters? What did you get up to?

This year I wanted to go a little bit retro and had a some party games for the kids. Apple bobbing, cutting up the chocolate bar, hunt the jelly baby... Just an hour of silliness while waiting for trick or treaters.

We also did the pumpkin carving in the afternoon and decorated the house just for the night. Had Danny Elfman blasting out of the upstairs windows for effect

Also made a seriously nom pumpkin soup, with cayenne pepper, mulled wine and cream. I don't like pumpkin soup, but it was excellent.

Maxi-Minor_furie goes to bed at 8:00, so after doing some trick or treating (we don't wander the streets, but prearrange with people we know) he wnet to bed and we had to stick a "No more trick or treats" sign on the door. It was an excellent atmosphere though, and our kids, visiting kids and the trick or treaters all seemed to have a great time.

Piccies!

So, what about everyone else?

Got all kinds of drunk on Saturday night. Fun as all hell.

As in:- Putting on oven gloves and other silly paraphernalia not helpful to wear whilst attempting to cut up a fridge-cold bar of chocolate?.... If so, OMG I love that game! <3


We turned off all the lights, hid from all the Yanky-wannabes and their confectionary driven begging; and sat down for Roast Dinner followed by apple crumble and custard!

Yep, that's the badger. I was evil and used Yorkie

That's what I used to do as a student... Or find a goth club to go out to and be silly and pretentious

We also made Jellied Brains

I worked, form 4-9 then I went to see Saw 3D with my friend for free. Thank god I didn't have to pay.

 

[ciallkennett]

I didn't do anything Halloween-esque at all - instead, I went around to my guardian's boyfriend's for dinner, then went to Milton Keynes Fair complete with fireworks with a mate Fun times.

 

[Martyn]

Screw that rubbish.

Cutting up the chocolate was an amazing game though.

I saw an amusing tweet over the weekend questioning if goths dress up as normal people over Halloween.

 

[Uncle Arly]

Well, I did something on the Saturday instead as the o2 Academy had Propoganda, and it as ****ing immense. VERY drunk, and very fun.

I also dressed up as Alex from A Clockwork Orange. (See PoM thread)

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

I love Halloween, but this Halloween was the first time I didn't dress up or give out candy, as I was on my way home from England until about midnight last night .

 

[Ben]

I went out and got drunk in a Batman costume.

Place was quite neat, next to the Dungeons so very under-a-railroad-y..

 

[Dave]

I was on a train back to London after watching Portsmouth luckily beat Nottingham Forest 2-1. Went to a house party and then everyone got kicked out by the landlord and they got threatened with eviction.

 

[Ian]

I sat and played Zelda: Wind Waker in a pair of loose jogging bottoms and a t-shirt, occasionally breaking for the odd cigarette and cup of tea.

I didn't do anything.

If the rest of you want to incur the wrath of Sweet Baby Jesus and condemn yourselves to an eternity of being sodomised by demons on the shores of the great lake of fire for celebrating Satan's birthday, then on your own, hell-bound heads be it.

 

[kimahri]

^ Don't forget the candy!

Odd, I thought that was precisely the reason you usually make an effort to do something

Saturday I went to a little village called Ashurst and got drunk in a pub, then headed into town to a pub called The Hobbit and got even more drunk.

Sunday I decorated my house and had a house party! Here are some photos:

We had bobbing for applese (a Welsh mate of mine made me crack up by excitedly declaring 'OOooh! DUNKING APPLES!' in his thick Welsh accent <3) We also had horror films playing all night and a big remote control tarantula. Twas a fun night =]

 

[EnigmaHyena]

^Epic photos. I like seeing how people dress up their house for Halloween. Also, what did you use for the fake blood? It looks awesome.

As for my Halloween, I spent the night at one of my best friend's house watching 'It', eating pizza, laughing and counting the amount of eggs that got pelted at the house. Surprise surprise, the people throwing eggs were chavs. Ohhh Enfield... :roll:
