No idea where this should go so if here is wrong, sorry.

So Halloween, are all the parties on this weekend (before Halloween) or next weekend? (After Halloween)

Trying to find somewhere to go fancy dress wise on one of the Saturday nights but dunno which weekend everything is on. Oh and it'll be Dublin city most likely or very close to it.

Who needs a fancy dress event?

Dress as the Grim Reaper and visit a nursing home.

just so you know, the bank holiday weekend is before Halloween, not after

As any parties I'm aware of are in private homes I doubt you'd be invited, so what does it matter to you when our parties are on?

nbar12 · 21-10-2013 09:44PM

yeah I;m having a party in my pants. all are welcome

Ihatecuddles-old · 21-10-2013 09:58PM

We should have a costume competition in After Hours

Only saying that because if I get my sh*t together I might win !

It matters as I'm not interested in house parties, more like places having parties, as in venues.

Crash a school disco
Go on the lash
Get put on sex offenders list
Never have to worry about parties again!

Where's the best place to buy Halloween costumes? Is it a bit far to go dressed as an S.S Officer?

Sorry if in wrong forum

Officially halloween is not till next week - however, I am wondering will those of you who have small children be going trick or treating with them this weekend - my grandkids want to, but I would prefer to wait till the actual night.

Instead of the halloween sticky candy I have bought a box of roses/quality street/heroes (works out much cheaper).

Unsure whether to just wait till Halloween or to decorate this weekend and let the kids knock and get their treats.

What will others be doing?

Defo wrong forum, you need the forums with happy people doting over their kids and such crap.

Gerry91 · 25-10-2013 02:54PM

A lot of people mightn't have chocolate/sweets or whatever to readily give though this weekend

I'm sure a fair amount buy them especially on the day or a day or two before, whatever

At least your expecting calls on Hallowe'en night, I'd find it strange if kids called to my house tomorrow that's for sure

Going on the weather forecast, I think next week would be better for ye.

I haven't been feeding the dog this week in preparation for the visitors.

electrobanana · 25-10-2013 02:58PM

Why would anyone be trick or treating this weekend when its not halloween

Waiting for Halloween.

It's annoying when Halloween falls midweek, usually pubs and clubs have their fancy dress nights the weekend before so it'll be this weekend everything will be on, can't really celebrate it next weekend either.

Sam Kade · 25-10-2013 03:05PM

I saw plenty revellers buying outfits for Sunday night €70-€100/head fools and their money comes to mind.

JDxtra · 25-10-2013 03:05PM

Kids knocking at my door before Halloween will get nothing. Seems like an outrageous suggestion.

Think about it.

If you picked a random day in February, dressed up and went out trick or treating, what kind of reaction would you think you'd get?

...

...

Now apply that to this weekend and you'll get the same..

...

...

Why...

....

Cos it's not Fuc*ing Halloween.:pac:

Weirdo!

well the adults are all celebrating this weekend, dressing up and going out boozing. Why should the kids have to wait if the adults don't

fishy fishy · 25-10-2013 03:15PM

okay it's definitely the wrong forum........poor kids - adults can be so cruel

:D

The adults don't go house to house begging for sweets on the weekend before that aren't there.

Halloween is probably the best night of the year to go out, it's brilliant craic

Duvetdays · 25-10-2013 03:22PM

It's extremely random going trick or treating on any night other then Halloween. People have work on Friday that's why the pubs fancy dress are all on the bank hol weekend. Nobody wants to get legless Thursday night then get up for work on Friday whereas the little darlings are on midterm.

The roses are a good idea I got a tub of sweets with drumsticks, love hearts that kind of crap for €6 in tescos says there's over 100 pieces in it, at this rate by Halloween all I'll have left in it is parma violets.

It was help the Halloween Party rather than trick or treat back in the day imo

yes, and they came around for days before halloween, and they usually got coppers, and/or stuff for their bonfire also they usually only had blackened faces. A lot more craic. and the song.....halloween is com in...

This thing about expensive "fancy" dress outfits, and only going out on the actual night is a bit sterile compared to the craic years ago.

No halloween here, the US tv channels will show some scary movies but it doesnt exist really here.
