Halloween in the UK

I thought the London Dungeon wasn't worth what we paid for...........The concept was good but the rest was..........lacking....

has anyone watched "Creature from the Black Lagoon" it's rated G but is that right


I found it in 3-D so I thought it might be good but perhaps too docile considering that some of Jess' friends already play "Metal Gear solid" on their x-boxes at home..

Sounds like those kids would be bored with it....already desensitized!

5 freaking years old and they have x-boxes ...grr...I can't say anything really my daughter has a wireless laptop in hers..


I remember working 2 jobs in order to buy a crappy Tandy Laptop

Totally agree.  We were really disappointed in the Dungeon. 

This will be our first Halloween in the UK...we don't know how much we'll be able to do for it, since we'll only just have moved, though.  But I plan to buy out Michael's and Target before we leave for seasonal stuff!

OOoohh Saf...........you know how to make some one jealous!!!!

I wants to go to Michael's!

I love Micheal's but it was a thing of hate with my dad one opened a shop next to dad's shop and it nearly killed his custom framing business

so everytime there was a Micheal's advert on the telie ..dad would curse the tv..oh dear!!

Dont take MeShell to Michaels!
We're trying to break her of her puff-paint addiction!

She'll just go over to the seasonal section and start buying up the shop over there.  I'd hate to see her w/my mother.  They'd probably need a van rather than a trolley.

HEY.........!!!!

I represent that remark...............

 



Hmph.... watch it Otter or you will wake up with those seasonal banners out front of your house.......with a smiling orange punkin on it!!!! or or a big white ghostie!!


wahahahaHAHAHAHAAHAH

I miss Trick or Treating with the kids, so we do it differently here.

I dress up, in my Elvira-esque garb, the Kids dress up, and we take out cauldron filled with candy and give it to strangers on the street. We have decided to perform a bit of twist on the trick or treat tradition, and since the UK doesn't know how to do it, properly, maybe we can bend people to this way of doing it.

It went over well, last year. And the chemist is hoping we come back, this year. We have already been asked. LOL!

I don't miss trick or treating entirely I do however miss it in the mall when it was packed with kids and we used to hand out candy at my dad's shop...it got a bit competative one year though when one shops started giving out sweets with advertising on it but it backfired because the kids didn't like the type of sweets ...my dad would spend a lot to get the sweets he knew the kids would like (nerds , blowpops or whatever) ..he still does it now but tells me it's not the same because it's 20+year olds now loitering trying to get sweets or asking for posters...what cheek!!


I definitely like celebrating it here because like I've said you can customise it to your liking my mates now go all out for it ! Here's two from last year:




 Zombie girl designs prototype models for toy manufacturers  for a living


and here is Scotland yard's finest...

I don't even wanna know where he got the straight jacket from..

Alicias post reminded me of this, its me as a Zombie SchoolGirl last halloween...some people say I look like a dead Brittany Spears.. which isn't a bad thing to go as  lol Obviously I go all out on halloween It was taken with a crappy webcam so the pictures don't have the best resolution

I for one LOVE Halloween; my favorite holiday of the year! I cant wait for our first halloween in London!

If you love American-style Halloween, you'll be disappointed.

I had a total of about 10 trick or treaters for the entire 4 years I lived in London.
