Oy Vey!

That means Hanukkah won't be far behind and not a bubeleh in the house washed!

twistedsoul · 10-10-2011 10:14AM

TanG411 · 10-10-2011 10:16AM

I don't need Hallowe'en to give sweets to children.

mfceiling · 10-10-2011 10:18AM

Sh*t no I'm not ready...bollix what will I do...

Chuck Stone · 10-10-2011 10:18AM

Dammit. I always get nervous because of the loud fireworks and they lock me in my kennel and give me these little tablets which make me feel sleepy.

mike65 · 10-10-2011 10:22AM

I have my shotgun ready.

CAPSLOCK2 · 10-10-2011 10:23AM

JerryHandbag · 10-10-2011 10:28AM

Halloween has been gobbled up by the buildup to Christmas, more so every year. So let me be the first to say, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

"Should old acquaintance be forgot la la la la la"

Chuck Stone · 10-10-2011 10:28AM

I don't need to wait until Halloween to dress up and frighten children I've never met.

Lando Griffin · 10-10-2011 10:30AM

Ah the annual shed clear out time.
This year I have an old couch, 4 bald tyres and some used oil I have after I serviced my car.
The kids love it when I throw it on the fire a real vhump,

Wertz · 10-10-2011 10:30AM

Why yes, my cauldron of oil is boiling already and the doorbell is wired up the mains.

OneArt · 10-10-2011 10:34AM

Of course, I've been sending out reminders to the rest of the coven. Lazy gits left it up to me to get the goat for the sacrifice last year.

Lord TSC · 10-10-2011 10:37AM

I've already taped my letterbox up

Goats are too mainstream. I sacrifice hipsters.

Occultism is pretentious enough without having to use hipsters in our rituals.

aoife_bennett · 10-10-2011 10:40AM

The schoolgirl outfit is ready to go.

foxyboxer · 10-10-2011 10:42AM

Dublin City Marathon.

I'll be un-intentionally running like a zombie after mile 20, but sure it will be appropriate for the day that's in it.

I'm ready to not answer the door to anyone.

Turtyturd · 10-10-2011 11:26AM

Hate Halloween, if it didn't exist we could start preparing for Christmas the day after Paddy's Day.

Temptamperu · 10-10-2011 11:29AM

Hmmm, i dont see what will be different i will be here spamming it up and ignoring the door bell, might actually take the batterys out so i dont even have to ignore it.
oooooOOOOoooooOOOOOoooohh spooky.

stovelid · 10-10-2011 11:53AM

I've already started injecting the tangerines, fun-size mars bars and apples with extra strong laxatives to give out on the night.

That_Guy · 10-10-2011 11:57AM

The Citizen's most favourite time of the year.

Wossack · 10-10-2011 11:57AM

sitting on the stairs in the dark pretending Im not home - just like when the parents come to visit

CrazyRabbit · 10-10-2011 03:59PM

I have my left-over semtex ready. Been waiting years to use it.

MayoForSam · 10-10-2011 04:05PM

Time to get the Halloween decorations down from the attic so, when they go back up, I might as well bring down the Xmas ones :eek:

foxyboxer · 10-10-2011 04:35PM

Just get lot's of empty peanut shells and deposit into their bags.
Saves a bit of space in the bin and you get the kudos of being extremely generous with your fistfuls of...pfft...peanuts.

Azureus · 10-10-2011 06:28PM

Looking forward to my first year living in a 4th floor apartment so I dont have anyone knocking on my door

Not going out this year cuz I plain could not be bothered-some scary movies and a bitta bobbing for apples*/pin the tail on the donkey** with scoops and a few mates. Done.

*Warning, someone will probably drown
**Warning, someone will probably get stabbed.

Princess Peach · 10-10-2011 06:36PM

I'm working on my costume right now

So excited! Its my fave time of year. Can't wait to carve my pumpkin!

IcedOut · 10-10-2011 06:37PM

Fireworks

stupidusername · 10-10-2011 06:38PM

Living in an apartment building so while I don't really have to worry about the general scumbags public, I probably have to answer the door to the children in the building. I don't believe I've ever done the whole answering the door and giving sweets to children thing.

other than that, I've been trying to find screenings of scary films on that weekend, but there's nothing going I'm interested in.

and no, my slutty outfit is not with me yet, borrowing a maids outfit from a boardsie

Why did you wait years to use it? You could have used it last Halloween ?;)

I've never been! My family were the only children on my street and we never did it. For years I thought it was just a thing that happened on tv!

alwaysadub · 10-10-2011 07:16PM

There is feck all kids in the estate anymore so we don't have to pretend not to be home for as long.

entropi · 10-10-2011 07:29PM

Definitely ready. Started making my costume in July, got it finished early yesterday evening

:D

Halloween has always been my favourite time of year

Dudess · 10-10-2011 07:30PM

Hate Halloween. :mad:

Latchy · 10-10-2011 07:41PM

I have a costume ...of sorts and it's more fancy dress /movie extra period than Halloween but it just gives me an excuse to wear

Geekness1234 · 10-10-2011 07:46PM

Some of the posts remind me of the opening scenes of the trailer to "30 days of night".

Shivers26 · 10-10-2011 07:50PM

The husbag is transforming our usually ordinary house into a haunted house as we speak. He seriously goes all out.

Nights out planned (in costume) the Friday & Saturday nights and we usually have a kids Hallowe'en party on the day itself and then take the kids trick or treating (again in costumes ourselves).

I have no explanation.
