How scary was it?

This month, we’re breaking the discussion post pattern. I knew that I wanted to ask something about Halloween, but I was having a hard time settling on the topic. So I’m going to take the easy road out and make this month’s post a place for all-encompassing Halloween chatter. After all, it’s the closest thing we’ve got to an official Creepypasta holiday, so why limit ourselves to talking about just one aspect?

So, let’s hear it, guys:

  • What are you planning on doing for this year’s Halloween costume, if you’re dressing up at all? Are any of you going to be Creepypasta characters? Feel free to link us to photos of your planned costumes, as long as they’re work-safe, of course!
  • How do you usually spend your Halloween? Do you stay at home, giving out candy? Do you throw a party? Do you celebrate by going ghost-hunting or doing some urban exploration into particularly spooky areas? Let us know the details, and share any memorable stories you may have!
  • What’s your favorite thing about Halloween season, anyhow? Do you like the candy, the weather, the decorations, the constant horror movies on TV, hayrides and haunted houses, or what?
  • Do you go all out decorating your house/workspace/creepy hut in the woods with Halloween decorations? Share safe-for-work photos of your efforts if you’d like!
  • Are there any scary urban legends or local stories specifically about Halloween that you know?

Those are just some ideas, of course. You may discuss whatever pops into your head, as long as it’s topical and doesn’t break any site rules (check the FAQ if you want more clarification, but in summary: keep things safe for work, don’t reveal/attempt to obtain overly personal information about yourself or anyone else, and generally be excellent to each other).

Have fun and Happy Halloween!

  1. I’m going to be working a haunted house this year (and maybe next) starting tomorrow. but i had been working on a costume of Ash Williams from the EvilDead series. we have done “test runs” at the haunted house so far 5 people have pissed themselves (literally) and a group of three teenage girls tore down a wall trying to escape one of them even dropped to the floor assumed the fetal position started rocking back and forth screaming “i don’t want to go” over and over :)

  6. Last year I decided it would be funny to dress my fake foam skeleton up in raw meat and shit. So I set it up and waited inside and some kids come crying to my door telling me about how there’s a zombie on my lawn so I knew I did well. Then a kid said that the decoration if my roof was cool. I didn’t put anything on my roof. So I hand him a bag of Cheetos and then my door starts going berserk and all I hear is “tikka tikka tikka” on the ceiling and the dog is barking like crazy so I walk outside and realize a bunch of crows carried my skeleton on my roof and started eating the meat. Long story short the kids got a laugh out of me fighting off the crows with a broomstick.

  8. Theres an old legend at my high school about a ghost/entity that haunts one of the buildings on campus. Its in one of the older buildings, where the auditorium is at. Theres actually quite a few versions of the story that people talk about, but ill just say the one I know. I heard it happened in the third floor. Some student in the late 60’s or 70’shung themselves there. The building and the third floor used to be a bunch of classrooms, but are not used anymore. They locked them from the inside and the handles outside are broken off sone doors. I think only Choir, Drama, and music classes still use the building but only the first and second floor. Ive been to the third floor, someof the rooms are only used as storage for the costumes and other things for the drama and music classes. Its really creepy going there, since I used to be in choir freshman year I had to go up there to get stuff now and then. It has like this really creepy vibe, it feels like someones staring at you. And it gets even worse if your alone and especially if your alone in the auditorium. Some people that have been in there alone or in small grouos of two-three, have claimed that they can hear steps walking back and forth on the catwalk above the auditorium. Or that it gets unaturally cold in there, and its not the ac. One girl said she heard the footsteps and heard someone whispering to her. Another friend of mine heard the same, but she heard ‘help me, help me’ in one of the storage rooms upstairs, she was freaked out and ran. But anyways, im sure their just rumors like every school has, right??
    Also, im psyched because were writting creepy stories for my english 3 class and on Halloween were going to read them to eachother in that creepy auditorium. I hope we see ghosts!!! (:

  9. The 31st is also Samhain which, for me is a religious holiday so I’m staying home and having dinner with my mother. the following day I’m meeting with my friends (whom I’ve been teaching Paganism to) and we’re cooking a harvest themed dinner, Samhain ceremonial rites and a paranormal investigation of the local forest area.

    where I live there are a few urban legends:
    The old Holyland Theme parknis haunted by the spirits of a group of people who died during a tour of an attraction at the biblical themed patk called The Cave Of The Damned. The lawsuits bankrupted the park and it’s been closed since.

    Some people believe the forest that we’re going to is haunted by demons and spirits of young girls who were raped and killed out there (one of which was a friend of.my sister)

      1. Lots of people were pagans before the violent and brutal religion that is Christianity came along and “converted” them.

  13. I’m going to do what I always do. While my little cousin os off getting candy I’ll be dressed in a ragged blue outfit with pale blue skin and grey contacts, as some sort of phantom. I’ll tell people they have to give me their souls or beat me at guitar hero for their candy. Trying to recreate a modern version of the devil went down to georgia. It’s a shame I live in Indiana

  15. i’ve been tuning in to the SyFy channels monthlong halloween movie event, yesterday i saw “Drag Me To Hell”. on halloween night i’ll probably stay home watching more movies unless i get invited to a party. i love costumes but i can never afford the time and money for a good one. i hope i can change that this year. i am thinking of going as a zombie or a creepy killer scarecrow but i’m not certain yet. i’d like to hear what you guys are watching and wearing.

  16. Well, still being at my young age I continue going door to door dressed up as Tim Burton’s movie characters. Halloween was never a big thing to my family, but I made it important for me because that is the one day out of the year I can:
    1) Get free candy from random strangers
    2) Dress up in an odd fashion or a costume.
    3) I get to be weird and no one questions it.
    I am going to carve a pumpkin like I do every year because I enjoy showing people my art, and what story the carved imagery on the pumpkin can tell. I plan on dressing up as the Corpse Bride, Emily from Tim Burton’s movie, “The Corpse Bride.”
    I am probably going to be writing on Halloween. The thing I love most about Halloween is that I get great ideas to make creepypastas that eventually with time and dedication turn into stories.

  19. Probably going as Slendy or deadpool. I have the suit, but I need a full body-suit in white to go as slender. Deadpool just fits my personality, being an agile, witty, and offensive ninja.
    If neither of those can happen, its GTA V all night, on the 31st :)

  20. I’ll probably dress as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Watch The Shining. After that, I don’t know.
    I live in a (very) rural village in Ireland, and we don’t have a great deal of local scary stories, although we have a lot of stories about a witch in the local town, called Alice Kyteler. She was fabled to sweep the streets, and was notorious for killing off husbands. This business of inheriting her dead husbands’ money made her quite rich. Someone got suspicious (or jealous) and started a witch hunt. She was eventually caught and imprisoned in Kilkenny Castle, and, on the night before her execution, disappeared. It’s unknown whether she had a lover come get her… or whether she really WAS a witch.
    And that’s all I got to say about that

  22. Lol, might be the youngest reader on cp, don’t care, gonna go to a couple haunted houses, watch the shining, go trick or treating, and go to my schools carnival. Also, anybody know any Halloween-ish urban legends for Chicago?

    1. Yeah.

      They say that if you’re walking through the City centre at half past 2 pm you’ll see loads of other people walking towards you. Whatever you do, don’t look them in the eyes and don’t look behind you.

  25. I plan on being Pinkie Pie from MLP! I’m gonna dye my hair neon pink, curl it, wear pink clothes, pink ears, pink tail, and hop. EVERYWHERE. And I keep making references to MLP. A lot. Either that or dress up like a Vault Dweller from Fallout.3 and pretend to shoot stuff .-. But its not the mall and trick or treating thats the best. Its best going home, in pajamas that are too big for meh, stuffing my face with candy and watching horror movies on Syfy. (I swear, if those victoms would have just listened to me they would have survived) And I’m 11 and im smarter than them. o-e
