Halloweeny Programming??

Can you imagine doing that here in the UK?    Even on the actual day of Halloween people would be like: 

I wear them around the flat, but haven't dared to venture out of the house in any of them, even on the actual day. I think I will this year, even if it is only the t-shirt or a necklace. Hubby is in a Monday night pub pool league, and Halloween just happens to be on a Monday, so I just might wear a t-shirt and necklace.

Another thing I miss are the hordes of trick or treaters. I used to get 100-150 every year, and I'd start months in advance, buying stickers, silly straws, pencils and cute erasers. Then in October I'd buy suckers, chocolates and gum. I'd make up a goodie bag of each kind of candy and each trinket, and the kids loved it. They'd remember year to year and tell me how they loved coming to my house.

*sigh* My Halloween memories full of trick-or-treaters, decorations, bags bursting with candy, etc. now seem to belong to a different person living in a different age many many eons ago.    Glad you can still make it festive if only for yourself and your hubby! 

Hey if anyone is interested in a scary movie *without* gore (I hate slasher-type stuff!), hubby and I just watched a film we got from Lovefilm called "The New Daughter" (with Kevin Costner).  Very creepy.  Also another recent one we saw with no gore but lots of creepiness was "The Mothman Prophecies" (with Richard Gere).

The call centre at our office was all decorated for halloween and people were allowed to come to work in fancy dress. Strange going to the canteen at 8am for some breakfast to see folk dressed as vampires etc!

Hope you got you halloween programming - loads of movies on last night on the various channels.

We were having our own marathon yesterday with DVDs so I forgot to even look to see what all was available on tv. I'll have to remember to do that next year, because I wanted to for curiosity's sake.

I can imagine it was a fun breakfast with the ghouls and goblins.  As much as I love to dress up, I'd have joined right in.

Well, I managed to watch Creepshow, the 1959 version of House on Haunted Hill, some old episodes of Most Haunted, the first 2 Paranormal Activity movies, and a couple of other things I can't remember off the top of my head. 

I was most pleased to find the original HOHH was on, because it is one of my all time favourite movies ever and I was feeling a bit sad that I probably wouldn't see it!
