Hey pandas! Post something fun you do for Halloween! It can be with your friends or family!

#1

Not an intended tradition, but we usually eat all the Halloween candy weeks before Halloween and then have to do a store run last minute lol.

#2

my family watches hocus pocus every Halloween.

#3

My family likes to gather at someone’s house (depends on whether their kids have school the next day or not) and have a potluck and loads of candy and sweet treats!

#4

carving pumpkins the weekend before halloween!

#5

For a couple years now, I have made my own decorations (and intend to make it a tradition), usually things like organs in jars (using flour and water this year – BIG mistake) with fake blood. My parents were disgusted, and the looks on their faces were priceless! Especially since I left them in my room for a few days, and one of them started to go mouldy! Next time, I’ll use better materials!?

#6

Every year, my dad dresses up as himself. We have great fun.

#7

Not my tradition but year after year my neighbor always tied a string to a lollipop, then taped the lollipop to his front door with a note that said “Take a Lick and Scram!”.

I never knew if he was playing a joke or whether he was just too cheap to buy candy!

#8

being Irish, we love going around and scaring the shite out of anyone as much as possible ? ?

#9

Not me, but my brother watches a different horror movie every day in the month of October. From classics such as Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th… to shlockfests like Jersey Shore Shark Attack.

Since I live in an apartment complex with my brother, Halloween is tough to celebrate. I buy a big box of candy for trick or treaters, but we claim it if there aren’t any kids.

#10

I’m a member of a cosplay group, and Halloween is my Aunt’s (she’s been adopted by the group though) birthday, so we do Halloween Cosplay party at the bowling alley and a birthday party for my aunt every year

#11

Be the “coolest Halloween yard/house” on our road. Hubby gets the idea, I help execute. We’ve also gotten “coolest pumpkin” since I started using one as a way to demonstrate the volcanic effects of vinegar, baking soda, hot water, and a dab of dish soap and food coloring!

#12

We always watch ‘it’s a great pumpkin Charlie Brown’

#13

When I was in high school, a friend of mines family used to go all out for Halloween. Giving out candy, elaborate decorations, etc. My friend and I though used to stage “scenes” in his garage with the help of other friends.

His 2 car garage door was windowless, white and super thin, so at night, any bright lights inside easily lit the door up and showed silhouettes really clearly.

Every year on Trick or Treat night, we’d stage skits to play out and it was always a lot of fun.

We did some Star Wars battle scenes with those plastic light up Lightsabers, Texas Chainsaw Massacre style scenes, the shower scene from Psycho, tons more.

For sound effects, we’d record stuff in advance on his Moms big voice recorder that she used in meetings, then play the cassette tapes in his boombox. We’d put it right up against the garage door on the ground.

Stuff like the sound of the shower running, operating a chainsaw, us just randomly screaming, pretending to cry, the best evil laughter we could manage, you name it.

It was a pain in the a*s trying to coordinate and time it all out but it was so much fun. So, that was our tradition.

In the years since, I’ve just stuck with passing out candy if I’m not working that night. It’s rare though, because I usually cover for someone with kids. This year I have Halloween off, but I dunno how it’ll turn out. We’re expecting a lot of rain for Trick or Treat hours, so we’ll see.

If not, it’ll be a movie marathon for me and then I’ll donate the candy I bought. …well, most of it. 😉

#14

We love to make homemade root beer with dry ice every Halloween. The kids love watching it “boil”. And it makes a great witches brew.

#15

Me and my siblings used to set up a candy trading system. We’d separate what we got into groups and trade what we didn’t want with someone who wanted it. If we had something none of us wanted we’d put it in the candy bowl.

#16

Giving every Trick or Treater a grocery bag of goodies and each special toy is different like one year it’s Hot Wheels and the next it’s Pokémon. Sometimes we give them a few like Legos and cars.

#17

Every year after we carve pumpkins my mom takes all the seeds and roasts them with salt or sugar. We eat them as snacks while we watch some sort of Halloween movie!

#18

When we were kids in Ireland, we went round the neighbourhood, no trick or treat, we had to sing. And when we got home, we dunked for apples in a tub of water, or tied apples on string from the ceiling and had to eat hands free. My Mum made various traditional food, apple pies, potato apple, apple dumplings. (Very apple centric, lol).
Also, we had no pumpkins and hollowed out turnips for lanterns. The smell was terrible. This was the 1970s.

#19

The week before Halloween I always have my 2 sisters over. What we do is different each year. So far we have made and decorated muffins, carved pumpkins, seen scary movies, made decorations for our homes and my favorite, “disgusting” dinner.
It’s really awesome being the oldest and having my own place. I love spending time with them.

#20

Almost dying of alcohol poisoning in a field is almost a rite of passage for Irish kids on Halloween

#21

For many years I went to a Halloween party the Saturday before Halloween (on the Big Day if the 31st was Saturday) where the best costumes were silly puns. One year I wore a box with pictures of a certain Toyota model covered with chocolates and sweets. I was a Candied Camry. Won first prize.

#22

Reverse Trick or Treating! I make Banana Bread and hand deliver it to all of our neighbors!

#23

Sleep.

#24

None. I sit at home alone and hope no beggars knock on my door.

#25

Our grandparents come over (now just my grandmas) and we have skyline chili and they hand out candy while me and my sisters trick or treat with our friends. Then at the end of the night we trade candy.

#26

I go trick or treating with my 7 and 4 year old cousins but I am going with friends this year 😀 I am 13 btw

#27

I spend the month rewarching shows like The X-Files, Over the Garden Wall, Gravity Falls, etc…, plus some Halloween movies here and there. Trick-or-Treat night, I make hot chocolate, stake out my driveway, and throw candy at the kids that just walk past me

#28

i love making pumpkin seeds! i toss them in cinnamon sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, etc. and sometimes when we hand out candy we put little bags of them in the candy bowls. kids dont always take them tho lol

#29

For no discernable reason my family always has fried dough tacos on Halloween

#30

My son and I visit the same local church pumpkin patch every year to overpay for a couple pumpkins. Been doing it for 16 years. Then I decorate the house/yard for a week and stock up on candy and treats before Halloween. And on haoween night my husband sits out front, gives out candy and takes credit for it all. He has been doing that for 14 years.

#31

moping over the fact that we don’t celebrate it in australia :/

#32
