Halloween memories

Halloween is here, there are kiddies yelling Trick or Treat outside my bedroom window as the hold their bags open in anticipation of receiving candy from strangers that their mommy and daddy warned them not to talk to. 
Yeah, go figure about that one. LOL

One Halloween when I was 16, I told a friend, who just happen to be spending the night at my house... that it was haunted by a biker who was murdered on the property before the house was built. I may have added that his body was possibly buried in the concrete because he was never found.

 

She stayed up ALL night long eating candy. She ended up calling her parents to come get her at 3am because she saw a shadow and heard noises all night while me and three other friends slept. LOL

Hocus Pocus 2 is actually a thing!!

 

There is going to be a Hocus Pocus 2 movie! I'm so bloody excited, I can't wait! Sarah Jessica Parker {Sarah}, Bette Midler {Winifred}, and Kathy Najimy {Mary} are all returning as the Sanderson sisters. 

It's a remake of the 193 movie by the same name about the Sanderson sisters who were brought back to life when a male virgin lights the black candle in their old home. That teenager, Max (Omri Katz), his sister Dani (Thora Birch), and his crush Allison (Vinessa Shaw) work to stop the trio from wreaking havoc on the town of Salem on Halloween night.
 
There's music, the sisters sing and dance and spells are casted and an enchanted spell book was involved with the chaos as well. In the end of the movie the sisters were destroyed by sunlight, but their magic book was still magical and this meant that the sisters could possibly be brought back in the future. 

Halloween Musings

Halloween is right around the corner which always leaves me a wee bit excited. This one will be quite different though as the powers that be here in New York are recommending that everyone refrain from Trick or Treating this year. They are even saying not to Trunk or Treat or have any kind of gathering as well.

  

They want us to just stay home. While I plan to do that anyway, I know that some folks are planning to go out. It's quite easy to stay 6ft apart when doing so and as long as items are not opened or home made, what's the problem? Right? 

See the powers that be need to realize that some parent's really enjoy trick or treating as well.. though I suspect that it's actually the candy they enjoy the most. LOL

I know some folks who are going to have small family gatherings at home with their kiddies and a few that I know of are going out door to door. No matter what they do I wish them well and hope that they take precautions as they enjoy their night out.

31 Days of Halloween Challenge #2: Someone tp'd our house ... I didn't do it.. or did I?

When I was younger I would look forward for Halloween. Not for the candy, but for the movies and television shows that came on every year. I still look forward to the Halloween movies and love to watch them every year. My favorite at that time was "The Worst Witch" with Fariuza Balk. 

Sure I went trick or treating with my younger siblings, but in the end, my sister and I would get a large bowl and dump our candy in it for everyone to share. Growing up we were given a lot of candy so it wasn't really a big thing for us, candy was a treat we had to earn.

One year, however I had gotten sick and was stuck in the house. I was totally miserable watching everyone moving house to house trick or treating and I was stuck inside in bed with a fever. I decided that I was going to create my own Halloween fun.. so I grabbed two rolls of toilet paper and climbed out my bedroom window.

I covered my from yard bushes with toilet paper and then climbed back through my bedroom window and curled up in bed. When the family came home, I had been home with my dad who was watching his westerns in the living room, they were all excited because the front of the house was tp'd.
My Aunty came over the next day to check on me, she lived two houses down and across the street. She winked at me then proceeded to tell my folks that she saw two kids do it. She had seen me do it the whole time. lol That is one Halloween I will never forget.

31 Days of Halloween Challenge #1: 3 of my childhood Halloween costumes

This is a Halloween challenge and here are the rules.. 

The submissions can be whatever you want, fiction, poetry, whatever.
I have no pic's of me at Halloween unfortunately. They were lost in the move. :( 

When I was little I wore a lot of home made costumes, my mom loved to sew back then and made quite a few of them for my younger siblings and I. These costumes passed down and even family friends' children wore them. We still have them, but they aren't in the best of shape anymore due to the moths and the decorations that are in the box with them.

One year I was a devil. She made the red jumpsuit with the tail and a hood that had horns on it. She would paint our faces red and line our eyes with black eyeliner. One year I lined my eyes and lips with black eyeliner to make it extra "scary".

Another year I was a Kangaroo. My face was painted brown to go with the brown costume, pouch in the front and big tail in the back. There was also a hood with kangaroo ears. There was a tuft of hair in the center between the ears. When my sister wore it my mom put a bow on the hair. lol The pouch was big enough to where you could use it to put a baby kangaroo or use it for candy.

Then I was a Greaser Girl from the movie Grease.. I really hate that movie now, lol. I wore a pair of jeans rolled up at the ankles and I had my dad's leather jacket on and my mom did my make up. It was great wearing my dads jacket, it was great I put the packages of candy cigarettes in the pocket and told him that he couldn't look until the next day. He ended up eating it while he was at work, lol. He got a kick out of them and so did the guys he worked with.
