Will you wear a costume on Halloween?

Demeter · 2014-10-01T05:28:09Z

It's October, which means Halloween at the end of the month! In my theatre group, people take Halloween super seriously and start preparing their costume for the next year right after the party (I'm not one of them though). We have a Best Costume contest and the same guy has won it I don't know how many times in a row. Last year he dressed up as a Ghostbuster and had actually built a backpack/equipment that would light up and make a noise. Anyway, what's your opinion on Halloween? A bit of fun or an overly commercialised holiday that has lost its original meaning?

Aww, I feel your pain, @Dreamy!
I haven't decided a costume yet. Ugh. D:

For the last couple of years, all I've done is put on a lab coat, latex gloves, and safety glasses. I guess that's kind of dressing up, but that's also work clothes too. XD

Anyway, one little girl who saw me one year said, "You're a scientist! That's what I want to be when I grow up!" My heart kind of melted.

When I Halloween, I dress up like a killer. I take a black fencing mask and put it under the hood of a really baggy leather jacket, and stand under streetlights so it looks like I don't have a face. Then I scare people.

I am what people fear on Halloween.

MUAHAHAHAHA

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

I'd love to, but it's difficult to do Halloween in Australia. You'll only get a small amount of people dressing up and an even smaller amount of people giving away actual sweets.

I bought a cactus. A week later it died. I got depressed because I thought Damn, I am less nurturing than a desert.

I just miss Trick or Treat-ing. No dressing up in HK. Unless I got to a party. Which I am not.

And @Cole you and your girlfriend are amazing people, that's the cutest thing ever. xD

I believe in that, which is not seen.

I may have to recycle my dress-up day at school outfit, and go as the Black Swan again. But I'll make her scarier this time

Someone told me there's a girl out there, with love in her eyes and flowers, in her hair.

My family doesn't celebrate halloween anymore

Seriously, if you're going to take away a holiday, don't add it into your schedule in the first place, because now I miss it *Starts crying* XD

We are who we are, and if someone has a problem with that; that's their problem not ours.

Well i think its up to the person if they gone dress up or not. Who said we have to dress up?
I dont think we need to worry about what ither people gone do on that day, it seem so crazy to ask that.
