Halloween

[Craterus]

Any funny stories to do with trick-or-treaters?

I'll tell mine a bit later, I want to hear some others first, and get a degree of how harsh other people have been.

I made two kids run into one another on a bike once. Funny as hell.

Egg them before they egg you

Fake guns are funny when you have fake blood on you and little kids think its real

Pffft, I was too busy watching the Champions League matches to go trick-or-treating.

Nothing too special. I just put camo on and hid in the bushes in front of my house. Popped out whenever ToTers came by.

Laxative chocolate in the candy bag.....

I decorate my house. Some tombstones with spotlights on them, spiderwebs in the shrubs, a large fuzzy spider (18 inch leg span) with some "baby" spiders hanging from spider line, a skull, a floating ghost, a glow-in-the-dark Jason mask and some evil "eyes" in the bushes are the props I use. I put a black light in the yard to make the skull, the ghost, the eyes, the spider lines and the spiders glow. I also put several red lights in the house so a devilish red glow comes from the windows. Tubular Bells and music from Halloween float out of the windows to complete the atmosphere. This was our first Halloween in our new neighborhood and I gather not too many of the house in our development decorate because I got quite a few compliments on my rather simple decorations.

I go simple for me personally. I wear all black, an oversized tophat and some white dress gloves that glow brightly in the blacklight. I then act like a complete weirdo when the kids come up (much to my wife's embarassment).

I always enjoy the creativity of some of the kids/parents. This year one little girl was dress as a bubble bath - cotton and some small pink balloons making up the suds & bubbles. Another kid was dressed as a whoopie cushion. Alas, we wouldn't show me if his costume "worked".

I read all 200 episodes of the HL Comic. I got a lot of texts from drunken schoolmates off having a great time at uni.

Damn gap year. *sulks*

The reactions of those, young and old, who do like it and appreciate the effort make it worthwhile.

Egg them before they egg you

Exactly.

So, some kids knocked on my door, and I told them I didn't have any sweets, so they put a wellington boot through the letterbox. They were around 12/13 so I felt entitled to take revenge, as they're old enough to take it.

So, my first instinct was to grab some eggs and teach them what halloween is really about.. But then I thought eggs were a little harsh considering their prank was only to put a boot through the door.

So instead, I grabbed the boot and some shoes, and went out.

Keeping in the shadows, I stalked them for about 200m down the road, until I was sure I had a clear shot.

Now, this is where the thing turned into something you'd see in a film (think ninja style).

One of them noticed the dark figure following them and said: "Hey, a weird guy is following us!"

The boot, camouflaged perfectly against the dark backdrop, was heading straight for the kid. And it's one of those moments where he can't have been able to see it until the last second. So anyway, the boot hits him into the face, and I've already disappeared back into the shadows.

Best Halloween in ever!

EDIT: Actually, if you think of those films where the dumb explorers are going through the forest and they're being fired at (by the indigenous tribe) and they don't know where from. And the first guy always gets taken out nice and dramatically.

It was exactly like that.
