Halloween in the USA

[marcus300]

Halloween in the USA looks absolutely amazing, I've only ever seen it on the movies but is that what its really like over there at this time. Looks like fun and everybody joins in

[Back In Black]

Is that your Halloween get up in your avi Marcus? If you knocked on my door wearing that I'd give you bundles of cash to get rid of you lol.

You could make a mint at the end of the month

Halloween is a fun time. Lots of parties around for adults and if you have a kid it's great to take them around town trick or treating.

My daughter is Snow White this year. I was going to be Venus or Serena Williams lol

[AlphaMike]

Didn't know that they don't celebrate Halloween in the UK. Best part about it is no matter how cold it is, 75% percent of the ladies will be dressed as a slutty variant of something

Tell me where you live and I can arrange a party for you, you get the admission on the door and anything goes inside. WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR VENUES so if you and the wife would like some extra income just let me know, oh by the way we do have an industrial cleaner we bring with us so your house will be very clean afterwards !

yes we celebrate it but in the USA it always looks fantastic on the movies

[Hazard]

I think it depends on where in the US and the town. Where I live the streets are full of people dressed up between 430-8pm

Halloween is my favorite holiday and yes it's fun as hell. I used to decorate my house, more than most people do for Christmas, but it's gotten old and my time is better spent elsewhere.

Some places there are streets of dressed up people. Usually more south than Washington state. we can have snow here in late October.

[Trevtrev]

It's going to be a fun one again this year. Already got dead bodies and tombstones in the yard. There's a block party every year and the street are filled. The kids really like dressing up as do I.

And the hot mommies out with their kids. Love the scenery!

Fun for sure.

Halloween is just as much for adults as kids anymore. Every bar has a Halloween event and then there are basic Halloween Pub Crawls as well with shuttles running steadily between a group of bars. And yes, slutty outfits are everywhere. One group of neighbors in my area group together outside one house to give candy to kids and jello shooters / drinks to adults.

The guy dressed in the Robin Thicke outfit here is actually my oldest nephew. Pretty cool. He works in marketing for a company that creates this kind of stuff so they use him in a lot of their ads!

NYC on Halloween is like nothing you have ever seen. The parade gets old after about 45 minutes but the parties last a week nowadays. Usually the weekend before Halloween and all the way up to the actual 31st. My best Halloween experience was down town in the village one year.

The streets get so crowded and some cabbie tried cutting through and got stuck in a mob scene of people. Out of no where this jacked ****ing dude dressed as the rock runs on top of the cab and starts talking and everyone shut up. I was a little too far away to hear what he was saying but all of a sudden he takes his elbow pad off runs down the hood of the cab on to the street (everyone cleared his path) and then runs back across the car on to the other side of the street. Everyone he watched wrestling knew what was coming and people were going ****ing ape shit. So he runs back on to the top of the cab and gives the peoples elbow on top of the taxi and the crowd ****ing lost it. This guy was a ****ing legend for 5 minutes in his life. Then every one continued to go about their business. My night got even more interesting
but we will leave it at that story lol

[RaginCajun]

this is why!!!!!!!!!

[MuscleInk]

Yup!

[kelkel]

^^ That about sums it up.

For kids, Halloween isn't quite as good as it was 25 years ago when I was a kid. There is a lot more fear today of the whole strangers with candy thing. When I was a child the streets were filled with kids and we stayed out til almost 10pm. We would come home with pillow cases of candy.

I cannot comment on bars because I don't frequent them but I would imagine that it is more fun as an adult now than it is for kids. I have a friend that said they all take their kids arounf in their neighborhood and a little red wagon filled with their alcohol. I think they have a blast.

Go into most any grocery store on Halloween night and you will see the shelves are empty of eggs. I bought my share of eggs as a kid.

He's not lying. I actually used to sit in my attic window with a paintball gun lol. The night before Halloween is called "Mischief night" - look it up.

Its not nearly as bad anymore - atleast not in my town. But back in the mid 90's to 2000 you could expect a few eggs to hit your house or car.

Wiki.....


The separation of Halloween tricks from treats seems to have only developed sporadically, often appearing in some areas but not at all in others nearby.[2] In Northern New Jersey's Passaic County, Somerset County, and Essex County and parts of Sussex County, it is called "Mischief Night". In some towns in Northern New Jersey, and parts of New York State, it is known as "Goosey Night". In South Jersey and the Philadelphia region (as well as Westchester County in New York and Fairfield County in Connecticut), October 30 is referred to as "Mischief Night," where mischievous teens rub soap bars on car windows, throw eggs at houses, adorn trees with toilet paper, and run away after ringing doorbells. In some areas of Queens, New York, Cabbage Night involved throwing rotten fruit at various neighbors, cars, and buses. Pre-teens and teens would fill eggs with Neet and Nair and throw them at unsuspecting individuals. In the mid-1980s garbage was set on fire and cemeteries were set ablaze. In Camden, New Jersey, Mischief Night had escalated to the point where widespread arsons were committed in the 1990s. Over 130 arsons were committed in that city on the night of October 30, 1991.[4]

It is known as "Gate Night" in Trail, British Columbia, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Suffern, NY, Nanuet, NY, Stony Point, NY, New City, NY, Valley Cottage NY, North Dakota and South Dakota (USA) and as "Mat Night" in Quebec, Canada, always on 30 October, the eve of Halloween.[2] It is also commonly known as "Devil's Night" in many places throughout Canada and western Pennsylvania.

It is also known in Yorkshire as "Mischievous Night", "Miggy Night",[2] "Tick-Tack Night", "Corn Night", "Trick Night" and "Micky Night" and is celebrated on November 4.[5] In Widnes, it is known as "Mizzy Night" and is celebrated on October 30.[citation needed]

Popular tricks include toilet papering yards and buildings, powder-bombing and egging cars, people, and homes, using soap to write on windows, "forking" yards, setting off consumer fireworks, and smashing pumpkins and jack-o'-lanterns.[2] Local grocery stores often refuse to sell eggs to pre-teens and teens around the time of Halloween for this reason. Occasionally though, the damage can include the more serious spray-painting of buildings and homes.[6]

Less destructive is the ever-popular prank known as "Knock, Knock, Ginger", "Ding-Dong Ditch" and "knock-a-door-run" among many other names. in this 'game' people ring doorbells or knock on doors, and then run and hide somewhere nearby.One variation involves pranksters inserting a pin into a doorbell so that it rings continuously. Also known in London.UK as "Knock down ginger".

Among younger children, the practice of trick-or-treating on Halloween night itself traditionally carried the implied threat of minor pranks (or "tricks") in the absence of the requested "treats"; in modern times, however, this threat is rarely if ever acted upon.

Angels' Night
In Detroit, Michigan, which was particularly hard-hit by Devil's Night arson and vandalism throughout the 1980s, many citizens take it upon themselves to patrol the streets to deter arsonists and those who may break the law. This is known as "Angels' Night." Some 40,000 volunteer citizens patrol the city on Angels' Night, which usually runs October 29 through October 31, around the time most Halloween festivities are taking place.

Cabbage Night
The night is commonly known as "Cabbage Night" in parts of Vermont; Connecticut; Bergen County, New Jersey; Upstate New York; Northern Kentucky; Newport, Rhode Island; and Boston, Massachusetts.[7]

In Berkshire County, Massachusetts the night was commonly referred to as "Cabbage stalk night" from the 1970s through the '90s.

In rural Niagara Falls, Ontario during the 1950s and '60s, Cabbage Night referred to the custom of raiding local gardens for leftover rotting cabbages & hurling them about to create mischief in the neighborhood.

Agreed. It does seem like Halloween was MUCH bigger for kids back when I was one (we're talking 30 some odd years ago). And, exactly what you said - we didn't go around with those little plastic pumpkins with handles for candy - we had (multiple) PILLOW cases full of the shit!!! It was the greatest day/night of the year, right behind Christmas.

Dude, we were terrible. We would fuk with moving vehicles and what not... little shit heads we were. I'll never forget the night I got picked up by the 'paddy wagon'. Suffice it to say my mother wasn't too happy with her boy, lol.

Your nephew is very handsome....runs in the family?????

Your neighborhood sounds like mine. The adults are into it as much as the kids. More ppl decorate for Halloween then Christmas. My neighbors have bonfires and parties on Halloween and many take vacation on All saints day, nov 1st to recover. Lol.

i once worked at a company that encouraged employees to come in costume, to build morale (or ruin careers - some ppl have no good sense and mostly women). I struggled holding a meeting with a bunch of clowns. Very odd. Very very odd!

I do run home from work and dress myself to have out candy to the kids. They are sooo cute. But the 20 yo that knock on the door holding a pillowcase and no costume is always Awkward. Like really.

Marcus. You would love Halloween however I highly recommend Mardi gras for you!!!
