Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

We just booked our vacation to return to Salem for October time and are planning on driving around the New England area looking at foliage and anything else autumn / Halloween related. Any recommendations?

I couldn't log in under my old name either but Snoopy / Red Baron is still here!

20 days out from Halloween and the first cool front of the season finally came in. Got the pumpkin candles lit and the pumpkin beer out and the windows open. Now this is fall!

I have started haunting these forums again, have started the Halloween programs and even lit a pumpkin candle. Pumpkin beer is next on the list...

It would be nice to see the old gang here again. Did they all go over to halloweenforum.com? I hope you all are enjoying the season so far...

You're kidding! I was just there too! Got back yesterday. Were you there for the parade last Thursday? We were told that the parade kicks off 4 consecutive weeks of Halloween in Salem. How crazy! We might have run into each other or gone to the same attractions at the same time :o Oh hey and you're...

I feel very lucky that I am able to be here in Salem, MA for the Halloween kickoff events at the beginning of Oct. For those who have never been, its like Halloween capital. Halloween on steroids. Where being a Halloween fanatic is not unusual, but expected. Hope you all are enjoying the beginning o...

There was a thread here awhile back where people discussed this topic and I thought it would good to have all the new faces around here chime in. My favorite was the 80's when the scary movie boom has still never been replicated (though re-made). It was a time when Halloween was still innocent enoug...

It rained all night so instead of going out, the GF and I stayed in, lit up a Pumpkin Spice Yankee Candle, turned on some Halloween lights and curled up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and a horror movie marathon. Great way to spend the second to last night of September! What Halloween activitie...

I don't pretend to know what drives each person, but i gotta think that your mom would want you to be happy no matter what happens. If not for you, then for her. Be strong, my friend, and best wishes to your family. P.S. The world can't be all bad when you can instantly have a community of friends j...

I love hearing everyone's most fun Halloween memory but that got me curious as to people's least fun Halloween memory. Mine was probably in college when exams and school work scheduling didn't allow me to do anything on Halloween night but study. But remembering that makes me appreciate these Hallow...

There is a Party Boy here which is probably the biggest decorations business in town. They just put up their Halloween stuff! That kicked off the Halloween season for me Anyone else see any Halloween stuff up yet?

Boo, haha. I like the British. They had Benny Hill

Boo, this is the post I was looking for to give me a jolt of Halloween nostalgia just like you did in 2006. I remember that year, I was struggling to re-capture that feeling, that essence of Halloween. Kind of like Belladonna and Adrian mentioned in another post about being adrenaline junkies, I was...

Boo, I remember that year with special nostalgia too because that was the year I joined. I remember that community was so close and passionate about Halloween. In fact, Boo, yours was one of the first posts I read, one about Halloween in England and walking out into the garden and watching a bat tak...
