Happy Halloween! Originally this thread was a QOD but this year, I’m reusing some of these to help get more conversations going.
Some Halloween questions: 1. Do you decorate? If so, how far do you go? 2. What was the best Halloween costume you wore? It could be from when you were a kid or an adult. What was it & why did you pick it? Did you win a contest? 3. What was your best memory? 4. What was your favorite candy? 5. What is your favorite thing about Halloween?
1. We don’t decorate really, tho I do have some items I put up. 2. I would have to say my Care Bears costume as that was all the rage back then when I was a kid. Didn’t win anything. 3. Best memory would be just going out with friends. 4. Anything chocolate! Didn’t really have a favorite. 5. Since we don't do holidays, I don't really have a favorite thing. But I do like the fall colors that are associated with October.

No, I've not decorated for Halloween since I was in college and that was ages ago.

We don't really do Halloween here in the UK. Just a handful of people let their kids go trick or treating and it's not appreciated by most folks

NEVER! I pretend it doesn't exist. You could not even begin to believe how much I hate spiders.

I forgot to mention that while I never decorate at home, we always decorate the office for Halloween. The kids love it.

I didn't last year due to Covid. But this year it's business as usual. I have pumpkins, witches, scarecrows, demons, etc. all along my front fence. I always buy chocolates and only the kind that I like, so I get to eat the leftovers.
I'm double vaccinated and will be wearing a mask so no worries.

Used to when kids were little, but, not anymore. The last few years, most kids just go to school activities, instead of going through the neighborhood. And, I always bought candy I liked, too...especially chocolate

Used to when boys were young and have Halloween party games at home, but not any more.

1. Nothing. We don’t live in a neighborhood to have kids come around. 2. Can’t remember. 3. School Halloween parties. 4. Anything with sugar. 5. Nothing.

I'm late to do this but:
Some Halloween questions: 1. Do you decorate? If so, how far do you go? I didn't decorate this year but I love to decorate for Halloween. I used to have tons of decorations but gave a lot to my nieces and nephew when we moved away. 2. What was the best Halloween costume you wore? It could be from when you were a kid or an adult. What was it & why did you pick it? Did you win a contest? I was Flo from the Progressive commercials. Everyone said I looked like her. 3. What was your best memory? I have a lot of best memories but one is trick or treating in a snow storm! 4. What was your favorite candy? I used to love Reese's peanut butter cups as a kid! 5. What is your favorite thing about Halloween? I love the way neighbors get together to talk while their kids go door to door. It's fun!

1. Nope. Too poor and broke to decorate. Besides, I live in a condo community, so I'm not sure about what the rules are on decorating my front-space is yet. 2. and 3. I remember when I was in high school, I cross-dressed for Halloween (remember, this was in the early 90s). My math teacher even gave me a matching name (what it was I can't remember!!) 4. Reese Peanut Butter cups!!! 5. Now a days, as a follower of the Wiccan Path, my favorite thing is the festival of Samhain (pronounced saw-win), honoring our ancestors, having the comradery and fun with friends, and of course the food around the bonfire (maybe not this year, since I'm working....), and the start of a new year!

1. Do you decorate? If so, how far do you go? It's been 4 years since I moved and didn't put up my halloween decorations. 2. What was the best Halloween costume you wore? It could be from when you were a kid or an adult. What was it & why did you pick it? Did you win a contest? The Matt Trakker M.A.S.K. costume I wore when I was 9. 3. What was your best memory? Celebrating halloween for the first time on October 31, 1986. 4. What was your favorite candy? It depends. 5. What is your favorite thing about Halloween? The halloween-themed TV shows, movies and the parties.

My wife puts up a few things in the windows but I can't say we really decorate the way most people would interpret the word. 2. I was dressed as a mummy once which came out pretty cool. No contest though. 3. Um ... 4. My favorite candy was (and still is) the Dentists' Nightmare, otherwise known as Candy Corn! 5. All the horror films that suddenly become available.
