the_engineer 1,415 Posted October 31, 2018 My daughters first time going trick or treating tonight. She was confused at first but when she found out all you had to do was knock on doors and say trick or treat and she'd get sweets and chocolate she didn't want to stop. Weirdest thing she was given? 500ml bottle of pepsi. Not too weird but that's the most out of place. Best thing she was given? Either two tim tams or half a tub of roses. Woman literally just poured it in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,154 Posted October 31, 2018 Our visitors* nearly had to make do with a bottle of Lucozade as there was a lack of communication over the purchasing of sweets. *If there were any. We just stuck the pumpkin and treats outside the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted November 2, 2018 The sad thing about 1) living on a dead-end road and 2) not being home for most holidays and 3) having my own daughter to take trick or treating, is that I don't get to pass out candy, as no kids come around anyway. When I lived near the non Detroit side of 8 Mile (lol) we had plenty of kids come around, I miss that. I still decorate my house for holidays, but then I leave for a month and when I get home my house looks ridiculous. Imagine a 2' skeleton and spooky wreath outside my door and it's almost Thanksgiving, or beyond. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_engineer 1,415 Posted October 4, 2019 I absolutely love Halloween . Me and wife actually dressing up this year (first time i've dressed up for Halloween in a long time) and my daughter is very excited, bought her the first part of her outfit today! Going all out this year decorations the lot. Yea I know....bought into the whole marketing BS but Halloween when I was a kid wasn't as big a deal as it is now. In the 90s trick or treating I received alot of money as people were ill prepared for trick or treaters but my daughter received no money last year. That's the only big change I can think of can anyone think of how Halloween has changed for them over the years? Has Halloween changed in America over the generations? I think it defo has in the UK.

I think so. We've had an insane amount of trick or treaters and Halloween parties going on in our area these past 5 years. I think alot of parents enjoy it more than the kids now, that's what I put it down to. My daughter doesn't quite understand it yet but certainly enjoys dressing up and seeing all of the decorations. She's too young for trick or treating so just taking her to a party instead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted October 30, 2020 Shout out to Detroit where October 30 used to be Devil’s Night. I grew up thinking everyone had Devil’s Night. Wasn’t till I was into my 20s I realised it’s a Detroit thaaang. Which is perfect! SirC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted November 1, 2021 For 2021 Halloween, Sir and Lady Creep visited the Anatomy of Death Museum. Amazingly, this gem of the macabre is a mere 2 miles from their apartment. The Deathlist power couple enjoying the most Deathlisty Halloween ever. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,620 Posted October 31, 2023 Not only that, you can also go to Chillingshurst or Creepy Crawley. This is, apparently, to create 'fun engagement' for passsengers. I'm obviously getting old, as I find it neither fun nor engaging. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
