Halloween’s coming up again. I prefer Halloween to the dreaded Christmas! Don’t get me wrong, I hate the constant sound of people at the front door and in the street, the ringing of the doorbell and kids shrieking "TRICK OR TREAT!”. My Uncle William always chooses trick and blasts kids with a water gun. Lol.
I don’t do that. But I do go all out with my creativity and love of acting and make cool spooctacular decorations and a scary costume for myself. At Christmas I don’t really do anything, maybe I’ll wear reindeer antler hair band. . . but Halloween is different and much more fun for me.
Last year I dressed up as a wicked Witch, I made a really old looking cloak like it was ancient and very worn and tatty. I made a pointed hat. I dyed my hair white. And then I spent months perfecting my Witch voice. I managed to scare a few people. My Dad looked petrified at first. I wish my Mum could have seen me, I think she would have approved!
This year I’m going to be a vampire, maybe Dracula’s daughter. I have very pale skin and with my hair dyed black it should be a fab result. Hopefully.
So my question is, do you celebrate Halloween? How do you spend the night?
Oh and I forgot to say I’ll also be baking some spooky looking cakes. I love making spider cakes.
me too I love halloween and I decorite for evry year
I've seen some bat wings for the dog, though I don't know yet if they're available in his size- he's pretty big! I already have all the things I need for a Wednesday Addams costume so I might do that.
Halloween was always my favourite time of year, I always dress up every year, One time I was The Riddler, Alice Cooper, The Blues Brothers, Laural & Hardy, This year I'll be a member of the band DEVO, Except I'll be wearing blue instead of yellow, I hate the colour yellow and will never ever wear anything with the colour yellow on it,
I've also been hired as a photographer for a Halloween festival that's happening near me for three days, So that's something to look forward to, My favourite horror character is Jason from Friday the 13th, probably the best one
Thank you!

Thank you I was just looking at it. There's some really talented people on here.
Oooh your costumes sound great. What are you and your dog going to have at costumes this year?
I'm the same I'd rather have that with strangers for an evening rather than the whole of the Christmas period where I've got to interact every single day with family and enter busy shops.
Christmas is one giant burnout for me.
Here's some I hang outside if it's dry.
It looks spookier at night.
I love Halloween! I dress myself and my dog in costumes and we answer the door to the local kids. I would rather have a couple of hours answering the door to people I'll never see again at Halloween than multiple days in a row of being 'sociable' with family at Christmas- it's far less tiring to me.
I don't celebrate Halloween there's too many people and too much noise and I find it upsetting and overwhelming to deal with.
On Halloween I sit in my room and listen to music or watch a film until it's over. It's like bonfire night and Christmas. I find them all too noisy and overwhelming to actually enjoy it.
Sometimes I'll watch Halloween movies, normally The Nightmare Before Christmas haha.
I don't celebrate Halloween and usually put a sign up saying "no trick or treaters" because I'm scared of people in masks (clowns are the worst!) I do enjoy horror films but I enjoy those year round.
Can we see some of your decorations??^_^
I love Halloween too and it’s my favourite holiday and I have been watching spooky kids films and I did some Halloween diamond painting keyrings my friend got me on Halloween I am having a take away with my family and watching spooky cartoons on you tube and playing games with my family ^_^
Hi I don't celebrate Halloween. Last time I did my parents were alive and I was trick or treating, under protest ha. Your Halloween creations sound interesting. You should share some of them on Debbie's creative space thread. Link below

Don't add any of yourself though as it's against the rules to add your own pictures now. Have fun.
