Halloween is just three weeks away. Anybody have any plans? Dressing up for a party, throwing one yourself, or anything?

Me, I usually spend the evening lurking around our made-up garage as Michael Myers, but my mask started coming apart after last Halloween, and I can't afford a replacement right now.

So for the first time since 1995, I'm donning my self-made Han Solo costume and going as the movies' best dashing space scoundrel. smile Just need a pair of German riding boots, a pair of pants to replace my older out-grown pair (and add the red piping), and to finish the custom-made vest my dad and I are working on. Wish I had an authentic gunbelt and Solo blaster, but my made-from-scratch belt and 1983 toy blaster will have to make do for now.

Afterwards, it's a viewing of IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN CHARLIE BROWN on DVD, followed by an all-night HALLOWEEN marathon (films 1-6), something I've done for the past five years.

Cool. I think i'll go as the most scariest thing arund, FORD THAXTON!

Just kidding. I'll probably be working that night. Bit if not, i will be dressed up completely in black, even black socks, with my face full of peeling skin and bloody cuts and glowing viens.

Last year i, as the years before, i would buy that cracking peeling makeup they sell and put it on top of glue i had put all over my face. Then i would take a sharp knife and cut at my face to tear the glue. Be damned if i didn't have little red cut marks all over my face. smile

then i would apply some black permanent marker to the wounds and put fake blood all over it.

I remember one Halloween i would lick my bloody hands and rip pieces of the "fleash" off and eat it. Not swallow, it is harmful if swallowed, but keep it in my mouth. You should have seen the kids faces. Fake blood all over my mouth. I even one time chased the kids about 20 feet.

Even applied that permanent marker to my finger nails.

I'll be taking in a double-feature of Henry Selick's/Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas and Burton's Frankenweenie on DVD.

I am planning on being completely moved into my first house by then and I wanted to throw a super Halloween party. BUT, I am seriously running low on the fundage now, so it'll be more like a ho-hum party now. Oh well. I guess I'll have to return the M&M costume.....

I'm cutting off the lights, closing the curtains, not answering the door and pretending nobody's at home so the candy is all for me. If the kids are persistent and continue to knock on the door or egg my home, instead of candy, I'll offer them the dvd and soundtrack to MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 2---THAT will scare them off.

This is our first Halloween in our new home. I will have lots of candy for the little ones (and my husband!). I'll be wearing a scary mask or a costume (witch!)

However, I live on a lake and it's very dark. If I don't get any trick-or-treaters, I will send the candy out to the first person here who provides their address! big grin

Our neighborhood is full of kids, and we have about two solid hours of non-stop trick-or-treating. (Plus, since we literally live right on the edge of town, our neighborhood also gets the vanloads of kids who live out on the surrounding farms who are brought in and let lose to trick-or-treat in town.)

I even have my own little fan club of one group of kids who come around every year looking for Michael Myers. They'll be disappointed this year.

I'm not sure what I'll be doing this year, but I just thought I'd bring this up....

Does anybody else but me think that Jerry Goldsmith's "Main Link" from LINK is something good to play for the trick-or-treaters?
