Halloween is coming up next week. Do you have any plans?

[Nammu]

Just answer the door and hand out candy 🍭

So I honestly didn't even think about it seriously until *I* asked a friend of mine in conversation what he was doing for Halloween (He's watching Doctor Who). I had no plans. Usually I go over to my parents to hang out, which is what I will be doing this year too. But I just put some festive Halloween DVDs on hold at the library (The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and Garfield's Halloween). I'll watch them to get in the spirit. I may send out some greeting cards if I make time.


A few weeks ago, someone told me he's taking his daughter to Salem for Halloween, and this sounds perfect to me. Maybe I will do that next year.

Hiding out in my room and avoiding the trick or treaters. My brother hands out the candy.

[Blue_Bird]

Watching lots of horror movies while wearing my halloween pajamas! Just enjoying the day

[downandlonely]

I wish I got trick-or-treaters but they don't come to apartments. My church is going to watch Hocus Pocus on Friday night. Work is having a pumpkin carving contest and a costume contest. I will just wear my witch hat.

Um. Nothing, actually. This is usually my favorite holiday. I had to give up my cosplay to escape a bad situation so I no longer have a costume and I'm basically broke. This is a Halloween I will sit out on. Probably drink some tea and enjoy the vibes alone in my room.

Given out candy to my neighbor, watching Halloween movies, dressing up in costume for my nephew.

[SprinkL3]

Maybe watching a show. Maybe texting and calling others. Maybe sleeping. Maybe coming online here. I miss celebrating Halloween, but I've not been able to celebrate it for years, and I've been alone for years.

Some school districts in my state are saying no halloween at school this year, because its not for everybody, peoples feelings get hurt, etc. The same schools are also cancelling valentines day - now THAT i can agree with! Poor lonely unloved me!

[LiteraryLark]

My work requires costumes which is fine by me. I'm going as a cowboy. Pieced it together myself at Goodwill rather than buy a pre-made costume. I sure hope my coworkers like it!

[RoxanneToto]

I’m going to be working, otherwise probably just watching TV and/or doing my hobbies. Nobody I know is doing anything special, either.

[downandlonely]

I will just wear a witch hat to work.

[lizardlady]

A whole lot of nothing. Well, if my trash neighbors set off fireworks I'll be tranquilicing the dog.

I do believe I have the same neighbors

I decorated the front of my apartment just a little bit. I won't get any t-or-t'ers, at least not more than 2 or 3, but I may put a bowl of candy out for my neighbors.

thinking of going to a hayride thing tomorrow. don't know if i should go. it seems overpriced. but i do want to get out of the house and do something.

[downandlonely]

I couldn't find my witch hat so no costume. Also, they canceled Hocus Pocus because our home team is in the World Series. But I found Hocus Pocus on Disney Plus and watched it just now.

[Aviza]

Go to my brother's house, have dinner, walk the neighborhood with them.

[unaluna]

Our NextDoor posted a notice that you could list that you would be participating i.e. handing out goodies.

[zapatoes]

Maybe watch Ghostbusters movie on tv. In November a new Ghostbusters movie is coming out and the previews were on today and it looks pretty good. Didn’t buy any candy to hand out so will not answer the door to trick or treaters. One year handed out whatever I had on hand which was ritz cracker packets and dark chocolate.

[downandlonely]

I watched Hocus Pocus yesterday. It's on Disney Plus. I don't think I'd seen it in over 20 years. I had forgotten about the talking black cat.

[MuseumGhost]

Nothing. Maybe go for a walkabout in Walmart. No candy, no trick-or-treaters this year.

[Nammu]

I’m all ready for trick or treaters. It will be getting dark soon.

i went to my hayride thing. i hadn't anticipated there to be a 3 hour wait for the hayride itself so i didn't actually go on it. I've been sleep deprived and need to try to get some sleep for work tomorrow. instead, i went through several haunted houses.

everyone there was in a group or in a couple. i think i was the only one there alone. i'm not sure that's the loneliest thing i've done, but it's up there. it was still fun though. i'm glad i got to see the fair grounds.

one time, after a scary person jumped out at me in a haunted house, i screamed and then said, "good job, good job!" in a frightened tone to get them to desist. i made everyone around me laugh. so that was almost like having friends/having a human interaction.
