As soon as I think I can do no more, I will snap some pics and find some site to host them and send out the link. Invader,

I'll just keep adding to it through-out this coolest of all months. Also, a small dish of candy corn on the table for eating while bored or high (the only frame of mind I can eat that stuff in), a wrought iron candle holder with five orange-peel encrusted, craft-type candles stuck in it (for that Roger Corman/Vincent Price feel), a pair of red-lipped wax vampire teeth that seem to migrate from one end of the house to the other during the weekends, a wooden "Black Cat Crossing" sign stuck in a plant by the black cats bed (a bit cutesy, but, y'know..it's cute), a long clear plastic twirly-thing with pumpkin stickers hung over the deck..hmm. Probably missed a few things that will now be pissed off and stab me in the dark...heh-heh.

I think this will give the boys their big break in the States. I live in an apartment now, and I am poor now as well, so the decorating hasn't started yet. I HAVE however, picked out all the cool shit I WANT to buy. :) Mostly I think I will stick to pumpkins and have a Jack-o-Lantern carving party to set the place up. When I was younger, the best treat bags came from old people in my neighborhood- and they literally had different bags depending on whose kid you were. As soon as you got to the door, they would ask "And who are you? Whose your parents?" and if the answer satisfied them, you would get s "OH! I know your dad- he's my sister's husband's cousin! Well, here YOU go then!" and you would get the reserved-for-family goodie bag= with homemade fudge, candy apples, BIG chocolate bars and cans of pop! Yes, I lived in a town THAT hick. It was hard to find people you WEREN'T related to so you could date. Sad. IHAQ- I can’t wait to see the Trailer Park Boys movie! I think this will give the boys their big break in the States.

I don't think I ever got anything even close to that kick ass for halloween. I may have to drive to PA and doing some trick or treating. Also, any other Canadians excited for The Trailer Park Boys move tomorrow? I'm going to see it on Monday when my husband has his day off, I'm hoping the theater wont be closed for Thanksgiving.

Most of what I have are cute cardboard hanging decorations - a huge ghost with weird eyes, black cats, spiders, pumpkins, etc. I have a Beany Baby ghost and a Beany Baby-style cauldron from Eckards when they sold Beany-type toys for Halloween and Christmas a few years ago, an orange-and-black tinsel garland, a small standing witch from the thrift shop where I volunteer, and a stuffed wobbly witch from a dollar store in Cape May County. General "fall" decorations (leaves, small pumpkins, Indian corn, non-scary scarecrows) went up a few weeks ago.

I always made sure to hit their house first, even though it kinda made my route kinda screwy. They had cool bags, but no where NEAR as cool as the ones you have set up! The trick-or-treaters that come to your house are some lucky kids! I have spent my time today watching my roomates 4 kids...lucky for me, the oldest decided to watch The Maxx with me, so at least I haven't been driven too crazy!</b> Mystie- There was ONE house in my neighborhood that gave out goodie bags on halloween.  I always made sure to hit their house first, even though it kinda made my route kinda screwy.  They had cool bags, but no where NEAR as cool as the ones you have set up!  The trick-or-treaters that come to your house are some lucky kids!
