They do apologise for not having the money to spend £100 on a movie quality mask.

Fine, then I'm inventing "Send estebanrey a tenner day" when one day a year everyone has to send me £10. It's only one day a year and a tenner afterall so why not?

I freaking love Halloween, but no one in my area does! That's what I get for living in a grotty London borough.

Dude I'm totally with you, I absolutely love Halloween but most people just are just grumpy. It's just a day of the year where people can have a little fun, I don't see where the problem lies :confused:

This is being thrown around the internet at the moment, sure to scare many trick or treaters away:

LOL.

Someone I know at work went with a friend to a halloween party wearing a Jim'll Fix It t-shirt and white hair.

Kids coming to the door and asking for sweets is somehow acceptable, however driving around offering kids sweets is frowned upon, double standards imho

binbag+el cheapo mask is offensive

Nobody did anything halloweeny in our office

Just sit in and watch Halloween Simpsons

much better than going and doing things...

I miss trick or treating with french bangers, also stealing milk bottle notes, peoples coats left on the side to dry and doorbells. That was 14 years ago, I'm old.

We never get trick or treaters round my way. We did used to stock sweets and stuff the first few years after moving here, but stopped when we realised nobody was coming knocking. We did get one single kid a few years back. Was actually a bit of a shock really. Didn't really have anything decent in sadly, had to give the kid a kit-kat and a mars bar out of the fridge.

Glad I'm not the only one who can't stand this nonsense. A house a few doors down has the whole porch covered in stuff. I don't even think they have kids which is even harder to understand.

If it's a bit of a laugh for the kids then fair enough but what I don't get is why anyone over 16 feels the need to dress up? I must be missing something.

topgun06 · 31 Oct 2012 at 21:38

Never get trick or treaters around here since I'm on the edge of top up a long hill. It deters them.

The Saville residence, they've just not taken anything down yet.

Even though I am miserable about the whole thing. I did enjoy carving my pumpkin.

Wow, your younger self sounds like a right nob (if you don't mind me saying).

Bought chocolate and crisps for trick or treaters but none came.
