What are your Halloween traditions? It doesn't matter if you started them last year, it doesn't matter if they are small. Is it just watching It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown each year? That's great! post your Halloween traditions.

One I started about a decade ago, while on a old school Vincent Price kick, is watching the Masque of the Red Death; usually near the end of the night to cap off Halloween. For some reason I really dig the Vincent Price/Peter Lorre/Maggie Pierce films produced by Roger Corman. They are mostly "adapted" from Edgar Allen Poe (except The Haunted Palace which was mostly H.P. Lovecraft) I never really read much Poe so I don't have a lot of a frame of reference, but I love these films. They just "feel" like Halloween to me. They are cheesy and not the least bit scary, but they feel like Halloween to me. Sure I mainly watch actual horror during October, but I make sure to always squeeze in The Pit and the Pendulum, Tales of Terror, The Raven, The Haunted Palace, The Tomb of Ligeia, and most importantly Masque of the Red Death.

I carve pumpkins into scary faces and put a candle inside, then give children candy when they knock on my door and say "trick or treat" while wearing costumes (:

Scary movie night! Thinking about watching nightmare on elm street or beetle juice, depending on if I want dumb laughs or real laughs

I hope you get full informed consent from the owners of scary faces before you carve pumpkins into them

For the past 6 or so years I was doing the SA Scream Stream (in the CD forum) every Fri/Sat/Sun for the month of October but I guess the guy who did it for so long got run out of SA or quit or something. I'm still in the discord but I just don't have the motivation. I've won a few pizzas for the pizza raffle though. That was fun!

We'd have maybe 2 feature films a night, then 2 episodes of an old TV show like Alfred Hitchcock, X-Files, Freddy's Nightmares, etc., and then Big Cat Rescue at the end! Just some videos of a big wildlife kitty rescue place feeding lions and stuff. That's the after-after party at like 2am. They gave all of the kitties a huge blood popsicle one year. :)

I feel bad that I didn't do it this year. :(

I guess the last night is tonight (and it's all day since it's Halloween) but I don't feel like it atm.

Is the pornography at least halloween themed / scary? I feel like this is an activity you can do any night and not on hallows eve

You don’t have to include the stuff you do everyday anyways; we’re talking Halloween-only traditions

Hoping to god their will be left over candy for me to eat.

Slowly but surely lowering the amount of candy I give out to try and improve my odds.

I spend a ridiculous amount of money, time and effort hiding drugs in candy bars which I then give away for free to random children because this is completely rational and real thing that people actually do.
