Draw the curtains, put the lights off, unplug the door bell & wrap some sponge round the doorknocker. 😆

I’ll be getting togged up in some sort of vampire kit then drinking too many beers while kids eat too many sweets and then throw up on the bouncy castle*

*whether it’s me or the kids is still to be determined

..rush home to set up the apple bobbing and Bucket O'Doom™, put the pumpkin out and allow the delight of children to warm my miserable frozen heart.

I'm not home!

My wife is into trick or treating, being American. I was initially a bit annoyed by this, but it turns out ok because she massively overbuys sweets and chocolate, and the kids bring back a crapload of their own so there's always loads left over.

Don’t know what it is, but I feel like I need a Bucket O’Doom?

I'm heading out with the kids this evening for a bit of sweet begging. Despite it being my birthday on Halloween, I'm a bit meh with the trick or treat thing for some reason. Love a good halloween party and dressing up, not keen on traipsing around trying to guess which houses the misery guts' live in so I can avoid them 😉

I'll be at the gym. Expect to come home and find the house covered in silly string because no one responded to the door knocking.

it's not likely to be the same as the 'buckets' you had at Uni, well maybe it is, kids these days!

It's not very exciting (if you are a grown up).

A black bucket full of sweets, snakes and jellied eyeballs. Decorate with spiders and skeletons and covered over with black satanic cloths (bin liners) that only have a small slit where you can bravely insert a tentative hand...

Is it wrong to shoot trick or treaters in the face with a nerf gun?

Dunno about that, but:

I'm going to the local village to eat chesnuts, sweet potato and pine nut cakes. Talk will be of Catalan Independance but mercifully no trick or treating.

Made the mistake of going out on the bike last year, after the young kids had been trick or treating. Within 300 yards of the house had two groups of teens shout abuse, and one lad throw an iron bar at me.

Next village, two coppers warned me to keep away from a particular area due to trouble. Fortunately, once off road, I didn't see a soul.

Stayed in this time handing out sweets and drinking beer.

Loads out round the village tonight, all impeccably polite, all enjoying themselves. Down to the Milky Ways now in the box of Celebrations we were handing out....

I was supposed to be riding on the new cycle clubs Halloween Ghost Train ride, taking kids for a spin up and down the "haunted former railway line" in the dark, with a few costumed riders ready to jump out, guard strategically placed lanterns and pumpkins and let off the occasional small firework. Was going to be a top night but the boss was late home from work and I missed it.

Best night of the year IMO, better than burning catholics or birthday party's for Arabs.

Round here the streets are taken over by kids, they are all polite dont go to houses that dont have any Halloween stuff outside and everyone has a good time.

There is usually a bit of a gathering at my house and the kids put on show to scare the trick or treaters.

Reckon your just old and grumpy thats ok though others will party without you.

BTW Halloween is way older than Christianity, not American and mostly Celtic(possibly even Celtic MTBr's) so you can put away your outraged at change attitude.

No egg throwers, just one badly aimed firework. Got home quickly after that. Pizza, crisps and cake to eat.
Mrs put a bucket of sweets outside with a notice saying "help yourself" and was surprised when 5 mins later the bucket had gone....

I literally cannot imagine anything more terrifying than someone the size of you jumping out of the shadows!! 😉

I was out tonight but would have joined in if I had been at home. Nice way to get to know neighbours.
