Halloween whatnots.
Halloween is coming up, and so the obligatory thread pops up.
What are your plans for this Halloween?
If you choose to wear one, what costume are you wearing (pic?)
What stories do you have from past Halloweens?
What's the best candy that you've ever been given (or given out) on a Halloween?
Pranks? ;-)

He's running a contest this year where the winner gets to trick or treat with a member of the 501st.
I, myself, am going to be sitting on my butt at my computer telling my boyfriend to answer the door for the trick-or-treaters. My Halloweens haven't really been noteworthy, although, I finally dressed up last year and went to a party dressed up in a toga. If I could dress up in any costume, I would go as Yoshi, however, I can only imagine that costume being really really warm.
Best candy? Hmmm: I remember trick or treating when I lived in Germany and I was given Kinder chocolate. Some of the best chocolate I've had to date.
Worst candy? Pencils. There was always this one house on the block that gave pencils every year. One year my smart ass brother said to them, "MMM! Pencils! My favorite!" The old couple gave us dirty looks, we went off to other houses. The next morning they found pencils stuck in their lawn. Cheap bastards.
I have for the past 2 years made, in my mind, great jack-o-lanterns. I made a strong bad (homestarrunner.com) Jack-o-lantern and a Jack-o-lantern of the Bacardi bat. Someone seemed to dislike the Strong bad one for less then an hour after I put it outside my door someone stomped the hell out of it, and last year someone stole the Bacardi bat in just two hours.
I guess I should be happy that someone liked it so much they stole it instead of stomping it... but then again I really do enjoy having a Jack-o-lantern out for more then a few hours. Maybe this year will be different.
I have yet to decide what I will make, but will need to make the decision today. Any suggestions? I may do Mario, Bowser, or Zoidberg.
I haven't trick or treated in so long... but the best candy was from my own house. My parents always bought candy for 50+ kids, and we usually got around 5 the whole night. It was just an excuse to get tons of Reese's cups and not feel bad about eating them for a month.
The best story I can think of right now is walking to a girl dressed as a cop and trying to convince her to arrest me for being too good looking.

I will eventually pick one up. Never really had a reason to. I'm not much of a photographer, but it couldn't hurt to have one. I am quite sick of having to borrow a camera off of my friends.
And Scott, what's wrong with those digital cameras, I mean, one cent?!?
At school some people dress up. (Well mostly anime club anyway) Plus the BAMN club has a go go at the student center.
This year I will probably just go home and give out candy. Last year will probably be my last time trick or treating ever. I will miss that since I'm getting older.
As for candy, I found I don't really eat it anymore. I'll get some chocolate now and again, but I've developed a strong distaste for American candies.
My brother is the one who has made some awesome costumes in the past. Unfortunately I have no pics, but I do have a story. Last year he went as a demon, and while walking in the Halloween Parade in downtown Manhattan there was a preaching guy with a sign and giving the whole "JESUS WILL FOGIVE" speech. So my bro went up to him, as the demon, and said in a demonic voice, "You cannot save them from me!" The preacher hit my brother with the sign he was holding. But it was OK, because some of the red paint that was on my brother's face came off onto the sign. That, and my brother then stole all his flier's and ran.
And with the lights out.
Usually my friends and I just go trick-or-treating to stock up on candy supplies for the next month. This year I am costuming as Alice from Resident Evil.
I HOPE I GET LOTS OF REESE'S THIS YEAR!!! *Reese's addict*
And not pictures from a great distance! The costumes looked decent from distance you said.
