    My friends neighborhood picks a theme each year and each house is a part of it. Past years have included Pirates of the Caribbean, Wild West, Wizard of Oz, Medieval Times and Nightmare Before Christmas. We all dress up and decorate the houses. It is alot of fun and hundreds of people come through to see it. We hand out candy and provide picture taking opportunities for the kids.

    It's really fun to dress up and be a part of a 'halloween fun house'. Everyone in our neighborhood loves it!.

    We really enjoy Halloween at our house, we rent scary movies & dress up in our costumes, after taking the little ones trick or treating, we eat homemade popcorn balls & settle down with the candy to watch the movies.

    I love the harvest festivals! The handmade crafts and the goodies and roasted ears of corn mark the beginning of my favorite time of the year!

    I Love Halloween! Although it is very busy for us. It is my Dad's Birthday and Parents Anniversary. I finally own my own home. We've been here a little over (2) years. At least we got to give out candy last year, as the celebrations were at my house. Kinda sad won't be here to give out candy this year, as the celebrations are usually at my Sister's house. My goal is to goto Disney for Halloween one year, as I hear this is an amazing time to go.

    Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. We used to deck the house all up as haunted and dress up as we handed out candy to the neighborhood kids. Unfortunately we traded the city life in favor of rural living and we don't get any trick or treaters anymore. I now hang out at my friends house whose home is visited by about 500 children on Halloween night and help hand out candy with her.
