How do you get into the Halloween spirit?

• Cynic wrote on 2011-10-20 08:26
  Do you dress up anymore? Hang out with your friends? Watch scary movies? Eat Halloween candy? Decorate? Etc.
  
  Personally, I try and bake a few Halloween/Fall themed goodies around or on Halloween. Usually cinnamon-y or spiced foods, though this year I'm hoping to make a cake or cookies. Not too sure which kind yet, perhaps pumpkin spice.
  I don't dress up anymore nor do I Trick Or Treat, but we may get a few kids. (probably only the ones that live around here, which is maybe 1-2 families) My Mom usually gets a few bags of candy for us to snack on, but I can't recall if they count for food stamps so who knows.
  
  Otherwise, I just change my desktop/icons/etc. How about ya'll?

  My friends and I are also thinking of dressing up and going trick or treating for the lulz~
  And maybe going to a Corn Maze.

  I lost my halloween spirit when I was 12 and was told I was too old to be out getting candies (by the candy giver). QQ
  
  
  Halloween sucks!

  I lost my Halloween Spirit when there was too much children knocking on the door for candy that I didn't feel like buying.

  Nobody ever comes around here for Halloween candy anymore.
  
  Back when I was a kid and it was safer to trick-or-treat, we'd go to the houses with lights on. After that became impossible, we went to our zoo for "Zooboo" and got candy there.
  
  Now, my parents just buy me something cheap for Halloween.
  
  Best part is that I get a present a month around this time because my birthday is in November :3

  I throw candy at kids who knock on my door. And then I eat my sisters' candy when they come home.

  I really enjoy the visual aspects of Halloween. The ideal being a very bright night lit by all sorts of lanterns and a full moon, with partly cloudy skies. I know this isn't always the case, but I try to imagine this.
  
  Nibble on some candy, and I attempt to draw this scene, and listen to eery music. Its so fun.

  Definitely gotta agree there. The colors really set you in the Halloween mood, especially when tons of people decorate their houses.
  I remember our city back in MN used to be known for its amazingly decorated houses. They used to scare the crap out of me as a kid, man.
