Halloween in Japan
Better late than never - happy Halloween folks.
And to celebrate, the Melissa twins do a cast off just for you. Haruhi and Shana join in the festivities by cross cosplaying.
As for me, I'm occupied with November preperations so stayed indoors. Will you be dressing up and knocking on other peoples doors? Hmmm, could be a good excuse to finally talk to that lovely girl/boy who moved in next door?

Happy Halloween, I don't think anyone celebrates Halloween here, never heard of that phrase being used here before. All this time in my area, I'v only had a group of people who actually came for trick or treating, and they didn't even dress up for it... -_-
Melissa is sucha cute figure, same with Shana nendroid.
we have great neighbours here, and yes one of the girls is cute

Going out properly for one of the first times while I've been at uni lol. Going as a Cowgirl(Waistcoat, sheriffs badge, badana, no hat though cos there were all overpriced and too small mostly.). Me and a friend were gonna go as the 3 Amigos-1 Amigo, but the poncho's were £30, not worth it.

Happy Halloween everyone, I just came back from 1 hell of a Halloween party.........
InfoSys Student and Saxophone Player
I love halloween despite being too old to really do much. It is mainly fun due to the fact that I live in a rather new neighborhood and instead of candy, when the one or two kids from the neighborhood come, I give them random items. Last year, I gave a kid a fork. His mom wasn't happy.
Mad scientist
lol. In a way this was totally awesome. However his mom might have been scared that he would decide to stab somebody. You should have given him a spoon :P

Somehow in my experiences, spoons can be more deadly then forks <_<

Looks like only the stupid kids will show up this year (if any kids shows up at all). The news warns about leaving home because it's unusually cold for this time of year. They claim ALL costumes to be way too cold for the current weather (they also warn about freezing roads).
Personally I don't like Halloween here. Basically it was unknown 10 years ago, but then some major stores decided to import a lot of costumes and make commercials for it. This means it's all about buying a costume and go trick or treat. What I really hate is that they always ignore our own culture and they work really hard on forreign culture (specially from USA).

Last halloween before I'm an adult, HAVE to go trick or treating even if I dont have a costume. Me and a bunch of friends are going to dress up as bedsheet ghosts (like in Charlie Brown) and go together.

Happy Halloween everyone.
I'm going to my cousin's gathering actually. I haven't seen her in a while. A real long while, I should say. I don't interact with my cousins that much anymore to be honest.
I remember a while back, when I went to get candy from people, I would always send them to the Philippines. Why? The people there have trouble buying sweets all the time. I remember how my parents told me that they only bought ice cream on their birthdays and not many other times.
University Student
mmm...I wont be doing anything for Halloween this year. also too old to knock on peoples doors asking for candy.

I haven't dressed up for Halloween in years. I'm just going to stay inside tonight and play a scary game, like Resident Evil 4 or something.

Happy Halloween. Not going out this year but I'll be handing out candy to the kids who stop by.

Happy Halloween everyone...
Meh, if it wasn't for the Internetz, I wouldn't even realize it was Halloween at all.
The parties kinda died in Brazil... when I was a kid, I lived in a neighborhood that had lots of kids trick or treating in Halloween.
But the trend died because of unsafe streets, and I guess because most kids on the neighborhood became adults.
I'm currently living in an apartment right in the middle of the city, so today is just a regular day as any other... kinda sad. :P

Will be out n about for a bit. All the kids on our block are all grown up, so we don't get trick or treaters.

Do you guys think its bad form to just leave a large bowl of candy at my front door and have a sign reading "Please take one only". And what are the chances that the kids will actually follow directions? >_<
High Tech Exec
SoCal? I'd be surpised if kids follow directions. Use a bowl you are willing to lose. Report back what happened.

Ah, just finished an afternoon at our company's little Halloween lunch party, dressed in my original costume named "Punk Trooper", lol. Basically, a Stormtrooper drop-out, Jedi outcast, and bounty-hunter-in-black, I thought my black overcoat, black katana and white blaster looked cool. But my white trooper helmet apparently scared a few of the employees' little kids, lol. >_<;

its a great halloween day over here in Philadelphia.
Our Phillies just won the World Series this week and the parade for the team was today, and I can say that after the parade, there is going to be alot of people in Phillies shirts and jackets walking around the city for halloween night. I stopped trick or treating when I was 11, I go to parties and such.
I normally go uhh.....racing during halloween night. Of course no where there are little kids running around. I mean, what normal kid walks around a empty strip of road at night....

Going trick or treating with my sis and cousin later. My cousin and I are going to college next year, so this may be our last Halloween together for a long time. >.<
I don't really care about halloween. Most of my friends here didn't even knew it was on.
No one came trick-or-treating either =D.

happy halloween folks, but why there is a adhesive on the macbook pro camera ?
For Halloween i enjoyed looking at my nephews outfits before they left to trick or treat. One went as Darth Vader and the other as a pirate. I stayed at home with my brother-in-law and and some other guys who's girlfriends were all taking kids out trick or treating. We drank some beers had a smoke and BS'd for a few hours.
I really wanted to go to costume party. I've had this urge to cosplay ever since Celebration III, but i never act on it.
It's so cute, I love it.
