I know Halloween is a bit of a crock in the first place, but any event that gives homage to the horror genre gets a thumjbs up from me.

The thing is, I've been happy to have with it in my own little way. The odd fancy dress party here and there, a horror movie marathon, just bits of fun.

What I don't like is how thanks to our never ending needs to become like America, we're suddenly making it a proper holiday, and brat kids are banging on my door demanding free chocolate the moment I get home from a shit day at work. Last year, we a couple of massively fat mothers with about 8 kids come to the door, with the fattest kid grabbing a whole handful of choccies because Mazoo was trying to get into the spirit of it. The only other visitors where a pack of teenagers in plain clothes basically going door to door demanding chocolate.

One of the rules of Halloween is if the front porch light isn't on, don't bother knocking. No one here seems to care about this and the end result is me hating on something I should really enjoy, and yelling at a bunch of 6 year olds to piss off and tell their scab parents to buy their own damn chocolate.

This year, I'm thinking of making sure I'm the house they avoid forever more. My Jason mask is ready...

I am not looking forward to Halloween because I hate randoms knocking on the door. We already decided we are just going to ignore them :D Wil can just play guitar really loudly so that we don't even hear the door. Some little kids really piss me off. I remember one year at my parents house these stupid little shits threw water bombs at our front door and it all went in the house. Lucky for them I was in my pajamas otherwise I would have chased them down and hurt them. I don't have any tolerance for things like that :embarassed:

You should scare them away and video tape it!

I never really celebrate Halloween. Although sometimes some annoying kids do come to the door.

When they say 'trick or treat', wink and invite them inside for a 'treat'. The parents will make sure they never bother you again.

On the other hand, you might be chased out of town.

Kenji just gave me an idea, if the little shits do manage to knock on my door for trick or treat, I will just reply “trick” and blast em in the eyes with flyspray. That shit stings.

No doubt the little cunts will egg my car anyway, might as well see if I can dish out some punishment.

LOL, I'm the only vote for yes. I love the idea of Halloween. Vampires, ghosts and ghouls etc. I love horror movies and I always thought it was a shame that we didn't have it over here.

HOWEVER.

Every kid has to know the porch light rule. On top of that, it's only safe to Trick or Treat with neighbours that you know. We don't have the same kind of neighbourhoods where everyone knows everyone in the street in this country, or at least we haven't anywhere I have lived. So having a party and watching some horror movies with your friends I'm all for, but Trick or Treating, I'm against.

I'm still undecided on what I'm going to do with our trick or treaters this year.

wasnt directed at you, i like halloween shit, movies and ghost stories, but going around dressed up as fuck knows what, knocking on strangers doors in a country that doesnt celebrate it isnt on.

so, it was directed to the door knockers, whom i lump in with jehova's and mormans.

I didn't get any damn treats on Halloween as a kid so fuck 'em.
My dog will be guarding my front door. If any kiddies want their treats they will have to fight her for them.
Amstaff vs Kiddie in a sheet.
Wait for the YouTube videos :biggrin:
Obviously thats a no vote.

( And Americans suck etc etc etc. )

:o you don't celebrate thanksgiving!!! OMG. I can't believe you don't celebrate the day the Aboriginee's gave roast turkey and potatoes to the convicts.


I shall be blocking out my front door with paper when I get home tonight. (front door is all glass...) If they knock, no-one's home...

Or I'll just answer the door naked. :P
