Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator. Scared the bejesus out of my sister-in-law. Told her I'll be back. http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the-terminator.jpg

Lady Godiva. She was an amazingly warm and cuddly ensemble as I recall.

I was a witch the year my teenage daughter and her nephew hosted a Halloween party for the younger children of the neighborhood. One little girl came in a Barney costume and I cackled "Oh boy, Barney Stew", and scared her a lot. She hid behind her mother and did not want anything to to with me the entire night.

Boo Humbug, I have been a Halloween agnostic since that dark chilly night in 1976.

I sure hope my UNIRCEF collections are not down because of the economic downturn. When you see the orange box, please donate generously. Last year I collected $1435, which made my Christmas alot brighter.

autie, Let me tell you the story of how I became a Halloween agnostic...

The year was 1976. It was Halloween night. I stayed out all night waiting for "The Great Pumpkin" to come. I had hunkered down in the nearest pumpkin patch I could find, shivering in the dark night as a cold damp wind blew. The moon was just past half full, but I could not see much as the clouds obscured most of the reflected sunlight from the other side of the world. I was determined to stay the course and complete my quest. An eternity passed when I was startled by the sound of crunching footsteps, my fingers were so cold that I could not switch on my electric torch. A slight shadow was cast by an overly round and squat figure, immersing me in total darkness. "What the hell are you doing in my garden?" boomed the a menacing voice from the figure. As I began to tell my story, the clouds evaporated that were blocking the moon, and I was able to see an elderly man. He was a widower, and his deceased wife had started the pumpkin patch, when he couldn't sleep he would walk about the garden and talk with her. Anyway, we sat on his back porch talking, and he shared his flask with me. I learned more than a few things that night. Among them; "The Great Pumpkin" does not exist, and don't come home polluted at 3 in the morning.

I don't really care for Halloween, but I do have a great gorilla suit I bought from a carnival supply company back east and it is a good one. Scares the kids when they come to the door. One year I put it on and snuck up on the neighbors back deck and gave them a good fright. This year I just put it on my mannequin and set it by the front door.

When I was in about 7th or 8th grade, I dressed up as a little old lady. I put my hair in a loose bun and sprayed it with white hairspray, had on a floral print dress, glasses on my nose, a shawl, a cane, knee highs and orthopedic looking shoes. When I got to the church for the Halloween party, I was there for over half an hour before the other little old ladies realized who I was. They thought I was one of them!! We all laughed so much!

autie, She didn't worry until I was pounding on the door, and puked on the stoop. My window was too high to crawl back into, I didn't have a key, so I had to be let in. That was before I started crawling out of the basement windows to carouse late at night. Hell, I don't even have a key to my house now. Anyway, that was my first major drunk, every swallow burned, but warmed on it's way down.
