Happy Halloween Everyone!

[Lonsome_Drifter]

Just thought I'd make this thread a little early. Wanted to wish everyone a happy and safe Halloween. Now is the time to start letting those eggs spoil, they'll be good and rotten for Halloween.

Happy Halloween to all the Raveners out there! I hope you are all enjoying scary movies and obscene amounts of seasonal goodies. :whip:

Get you some caramel apples, and rent or buy the Evil Dead trilogy on DVD. Sit back and enjoy.

Well, I don't know about staying in all day - but this part I'm all for.

[IndyWolf15]

My family doesn't celebrate Halloween. That's why i don't have scary movies.

[Lonsome_Drifter]

Horror movies aren't just for Halloween. But, it's cool if you don't watch them. If you ever did I could recommend some titles, and I am sure ResidentAlien could also. :D

[Agent Z]

Good choices all around! I'm actually watching Army of Darkness in HD soon. The first two Evil Dead films will do for a double feature once I get closer to the 31st. :)

If you guys are so inclined, you can follow my carnage on my October tracker (http://mission-code-z.livejournal.com/). Horror films are great year-round, but October is when the feasting gets insane around these headquarters! :up:

Here in the UK, Halloween is slowly like everything else becoming Americanised.

I remember as a kid, trick or treating where you made a costume yourself and went as a ghost or zombie or somethig spooky like that.

American's go as superheroes, stormtroopers, power rangers, pirates etc etc. Mostly in fancy expensive store bought suits.

I always considered this just to be fancy dress, not anything to do with Halloween.

So....this year, trick or treaters at my house must observe the Halloween dress code. Ghosts, witches, werewolves, vampires, monsters, mummies, skeletons, zombies, devils are all welcome.:up:

Turn up as Buzz Lightyear or Hannah Montana and you get ejected, "Go home, cut eyes holes in a bed sheet and try again." :down:


No exceptions for Indiana Jones...unless it's zombie Indiana Jones.

:dead:

Happy All Hallows' Eve.

I like to put my kids costumes together rather then buy them. I don't like store bought ones either. I am probably gonna dress up this year myself. But I'm not sure what I want to be.

[DocWhiskey]

Happy Halloween to everyone indeed!

Probably my favorite holiday. Going to do a zombie theme this year.

My favorite part?

Scaring the living crap out of all the trick or treaters.

My family do not watch horror movies. You see the reason we don't celebrate Halloween because its about dead people, ghost which we know are not real, and then devils. Nothing against people who celebrate Halloween. Plus i have nightmares from horror movies, I don't see how my friend watchs horror movies, because she hates the dark. Anyway I have to go to bed, talk to you guys tomorrow, bye everyone :D

You should watch Psycho, then. No ghosts or devils in that. Just people...and they're potentially the scariest things around, aren't they?

And I know you and your brother are anti-Catholic, but I think that this brief article (http://catholicism.about.com/b/2007/10/18/halloween-a-catholic-view.htm) makes a compelling case for why earnest, faith-centric people can - and perhaps even should - make a place for Halloween in their list of annual celebrations.

Now, I'm an advocate of faith but not actively faithful myself - so I need to offer other reasons. Here's a few:

1) It's one of the few practices that most Americans (I can't speak to the experiences of other countries on this) actually take part in, that there's a strong tradition of engaging in, collectively, year by year. We have far too few of those.

2) We can't be serious about things all the time. Fun is important, and it shouldn't all be, shall we say, found in front of a screen.

3) Closely related to reason number 2 is a social function that I think is rather similar to one of the other Church-sanctioned days of, shall we say, differently demonstrated devoutness, by which I mean Mardi Gras/Carnival/Feast of Fools celebrations, which serves as something of an safety valve on social tensions and societal power structures. They free us - for a time - from some of our traditional restraints in a way that is valuable to both allow us to see the value of our restraints and withstand them longer by having a temporary escape.

4) This is a more secular version of the account offered in the link I gave, that evil exists in the world. Now, the notion of innate evil, the sort that's usually depicted by the demons and monsters that often appear on Halloween, is one sort. There's also criminality, depravity, greed...succumbing to our darker impulses in the committing of evil acts by individuals who do not seek to do evil, but rather who inadvertently commit such. I think the latter is more common than the former, but there's probably some value in imagining both.

5) Identity is an enormously complicated and important thing in the modern world. We can't rely on a clear sense of our place in the world the way we used to, in the Western world at least. You knew your political and religious allegiances, you knew your class-based obligations, you knew your race and gender and sexual orientation and in many cases did not even need to be troubled with beliefs and ideas, because most weren't educated. That's not the case anymore, and that's to the good, but it means that part of the work of living is constructing our own identity, formulating it from the disparate strands available to us in our lives. Halloween, in its less diabolic forms (I'm much more of a "dressing up as an individual character or figure" type), allows us the opportunity to experiment with different identities, to try them on for size and see to what extent, if at all, they fit into our selves. As someone who spends a lot of time on theatre, and used to spend a lot of time on philosophy, this is an enormously compelling justification.

happy halloween folks , just remember to have fun , drive safe and protect your little ones as the cross those dark streets, :D

[Goonie]

All I know is I want to go trick or treating to the Coneheads' house. They give out six-packs of brewski. :up:

I was hoping to celebrate Halloween this year since it falls on a Saturday, however, a job fair is happening in Calgary on the 30th and 31st so I'll probably be heading out for that. Trying to find a good job is taking precedence over holiday celebrations right now.

[No Ticket]

:dead: BOO! :dead:

[IndyWolf15]

I or my family are not ant-Catholic, I have lots of friends and whos parents who are Catholic, we just don't like the Vactican system. I've met some Priest who tell me they wish they had never become a Priest, and Martin Luther hated the Catholic system thats why he spoke against the Pope. And as Christan's we have good times as well, its not boring at all, my family watchs movies, we play sports, video games, we have friends, birthday parties, we go to theme parks, we travel, and we celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, The 4th of July, Valentime's day, Fathers day, Mothers day, Family day and more. Just because I'm a Christan does not mean i can't enjoy myself. We don't celebrate Halloween because we believe Satan invented that day. Because God would never celebrate Halloween, I could never imagined Jesus running around dressed as a Skeleton trick or treating. And sometimes I dress up on Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Please do not think Christans are weird and do not have a good and enjoyable time.

[Rocket Surgeon]

Now THIS is interesting...could you explain this a bit further, I want to understand.

[Lonsome_Drifter]

Regardless to how Halloween started, the true meaning of the holiday has been lost through the ages.
It's been modernized and Americanized now. It's all about dressing up and trick-or-treating. It's about decorating one's house with witches and goblins. It's all in good fun.
Just because I decorate my home with devils and imps, and let my kids dress up in scary costumes does not mean I condone the "Devil's Holiday". At first Easter and Christmas were Pagan (I believe it was Pagan) holidays. But, we all can celebrate them in our own way. That does not mean it's bad.

[Gear]

LMAO!!



Jesus has been going as a white European for the past dozen plus centuries. Does it every Halloween.



But about Samhain, we've always celebrated it as the middle point between the fall and winter equinox, and tradition says that the veil between our world and everything else thins as we draw nearer to Halloween and then thickens as we pass away from it. And the wheel turns again. This means that entities from other plains are more easily able to cross between. This is, for my family (can't speak about others'), why the whole theme of ghosts, spirits, and such is celebrated, it's also a time to remember those gone.

We might be having a party this year, with festivities in the barn, which doesn't need much in the line of decoration, with the draped cobwebs and grisly tools.

Was thinking about being a dead cowboy--as in - a ghost gunslinger. Nothing hokey, but more like Clint Eastwood or something.


Halloween. \m/



At first Easter and Christmas were Pagan holidays

In tradition, 'Ostara' is the spring solstice while 'Yule' is the winter turning. And rabbits and evergreens are also around the center of these.

I understand Drifter i know my dear friend Drifter would never celebrate something that is devilsh. And i never said people celebrate Halloween because of the devil. I just said, thats why my family doesn't celebrateb Halloween. Many people do not realize that Satan started Halloween. And i don't mind other people celebrating Halloween everyone has there own beliefs and my family has ours. I'm not trying to force people to not celebrate, I am just saying why I do not believe in Halloween.

So Gear where in the Bible does it say, Jesus celebrates Halloween?

[Rocket Surgeon]

...why did he start Halloween?

Yes, I understand that your family does not celebrate it. I know families who do not celebrate Halloween, Birthdays, and a lot of other holidays. I'm not downing anyone who chooses not to celebrate Halloween. It's your choice. But, there are some who celebrate it for it's real meaning (I believe Gears does, by his last post) and there's nothing wrong with that either.

I just like celebrating every holiday with Halloween being one of my most favorites. It seems that many people don't celebrate it as much as they used to. When my kids get too old for trick-or-treating; my house will be known as one of the best houses to get candy. I will go all out for it! I love it.

[IndyWolf15]

LOL.

Hold on guys I'm getting some Info right now and while i type out this info go search up on google this, the origions of Halloween.

The way you talk about Christians makes it pretty clear that you don't seem to think Catholics are included in that set. And I'm pretty sure that there are regular old Protestant preachers who regret their life path too, and not just Catholic priests. As for Martin Luther, isn't he the one who said "it is an ancient practice to burn bad books?

And I think you miss my point about Halloween being a traditional American practice. Yes, like good Protestants you celebrate Father's Day and Mother's Day and what not...but Halloween is possibly the most broadly social, the one shared by most of the population. It's not a matter of majority, of course, but of sharing something with your fellow citizens outside of the home, and beyond the family or the faith. That's tremendously important.

I consider the people who are Catholic Christan as well, i never hinted in anyway that Catholics are not Christans they are simply not Protestants. And yes a lot of people celebrate Halloween, like i said, I have nothing against people who celebrate Halloween. No Martin Luther never said that.

You know what I'm not going to tell about who invented Halloween because if i do you will start saying ant this and that, you guys can search it up yourselves.

What do you know about Halloween?

[Dr Bones]

All hallow's eve was originally a holiday of honouring the dead. A Pagan festival marking the end of Summer. Along camr the christians and it was then as with many other rtitual events, converted or usurped by Christian festivals. I believe therefore nothing to do with Satan.

I went to a CofE school (Christian) and Halloween was celebrated as just a bit of fun for the kids and a bit of history.

There's a lot of misinformation about ancient festivals that we still mark today albeit by superimposing more fashionable ideologies as the old ones made baby Horus.....sorry...erm...Jesus, cry.

Chalk up another thread where someone brought religion in to suck the fun out of it. :rolleyes:

It's nice to say that he didn't, but...it seems unlikely. And even if the quote is off, it still seems that he burnt the papal bull. And here (http://books.google.com/books?id=peUPAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA65&lpg=PA65&dq=%22martin+luther%22+%22burn+bad+books%22&source=bl&ots=MiYxVSb9m9&sig=F9WRkiEOCxW_VuUjN8YhnVGUjks&hl=en&ei=jK_XStH8OIu_lAf5mrWhAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CA0Q6AEwAA)'s a source.

Dr Bones and Rocket Surgeon are quite right, however. There is a pagan influence (<I>not</I> Satanic), but once Christianity came around, they began treating it as a day for the remembrance of the dead, along with November 1st and 2nd.

[DocWhiskey]

Why does everything turn into such a religious debate around here?

We have a thread just wishing everyone a fun and safe Halloween and once again religion rears it's ugly head.

If there was a Chanukah or Kwanzaa thread, why start a debate? Just move on to the other dozens of topics on here and find something you enjoy.

Halloween's all about candy and costumes nowadays anyway. It's actually a very fun and creative holiday. You go out dressed up however you want, get free candy, and perhaps try to get the crap scared out of you somehow.

October 31st is about as dangerous as the other 364 days of the year.

Sure, every year I may sacrifice a virgin here and there and drink their blood for sustenance to please my god Malbolgia, but that's not my point.

But anyway.......

If you guys are dressing up, whatcha gonna be?

What are your usual Halloween plans?

Just wonderin where you find virgins at this day and time. I thought they were myths like Pegasus or Unicorns.
But anyway, I'm thinkin of maybe Little Red Ridin Hood or possibly a witch. And I have been lookin at Wonder Woman costumes. I can't decide!!

Yeah Doc's right, Halloween is what you make of it.. If you're just dressing up, getting candy, having a party, why can't it be just that? Halloween can be fun! And I consider myself a strong Christian.. Actually a funny thing is last Halloween, when my teen niece and nephew were going trick or treating they'd grown plenty of inches taller than me,(I'm 5'4) and 25 at the time LOL But I thought it would be funny if I dressed up and tried to blend in with them, I ended up with a bucket full of candy! I felt so ashamed of myself LOL But dangit it was fun going trick or treating again!:cool:

You're complaining right now.

That's what the past 3 pages have been about.

I will!! I can't wait. Halloween is one of my fave holidays. My 5 year old wants to be Harley Quinn which is gonna be a challenge. I haven't been able to find anything in her size. Anyone have any ideas on how I could create one? Any advice would be appreciated. :D

[DocWhiskey]

Sorry, unfortunately not until the 28th! The Omen Backstory is on the 24th though!

Awesome. I'll check out both for sure.

What the HECK your the one whos complaining about Why do people have to bring the D RELIGON in to a topic. I'M done replying to YOU, I don't care what you reply back to me or not to me I'm done with you everyone els thats pretending to want to know why I don't celebrate Halloween.

Ok, cool beans.

Whatever.

Harley Quinn? Sweet! She's one of my favorite comic characters! As for a costume for a five year old? That's tough. Maybe buy her all red shirt and pants and use some black fabric paint? The makeup and mask is obviously simple. Perhaps someone can alter the heck out of an adult Harley costume? Wish I could help more.

Don't get upset Tiff! Doc's a GREAT guy! You're takin things the wrong way, he was only trying to help you not to dig so deep and to see the fun of it.. I'm a strong Christian, but I don't go to church anymore, because they almost destroyed my life, they made me think I was a horrible person, for having fun on Halloween and even picked me to pieces about having a Christmas tree!!! and that having a face on a pumpkin was evil!:eek: They were digging to find something bad in EVERYTHING!

Just to throw my 2 cents into the convo. Why even go to a Happy Halloween post if you even remotely think it's gonna be offensive or you don't celebrate it. :rolleyes: I mean really, all my kids think of when they think of Halloween is candy and gettin to dress up. I am well... of age... and I couldn't tell you the "real" meanin of Halloween. If there is one. I just have fun decoratin and scarin people.:up:

You've got the right idea KiKi! You family is having fun and that is what Halloween should be about! ;)

[IndyWolf15]

Uhh guys if i hurt anyones feelings I'm very sorry, i hate to burst peoples bubbles. And i hate for everyone to end a fighting not happy or upset at anyone so I'm sorry for blowing my top. I hope you Raveners will forgive me. And i'm sorry Robyn :o

Thanks! But her idea of Harley Quinn is the one she seen on Arkham Asylum. I tried to show her the unvamped version earlier today but she will NOT except that it's Harley..lol..I def don't want her as vamped as the one on the game. I do like your idea though. I haven't thought of usin fabric paint.

You condescending...WITCH! How dare your bring common sense to a thread! Get out!

[Jack Nelligan]

My family doesn't celebrate Halloween. That's why i don't have scary movies.


Halloween should be celebrated, it should just be enjoyed as a time where kids can use their imaginations and escape from reality for while. Grown up too for that matter!
Go dress up as someone else or something! Enjoy!

[Lonsome_Drifter]

I'm still debating on what I want to be. I would like to either be Ash from The Evil Dead movies or some horrible creature of my own creation.

[Agent Crab]

Halloween is a fun holiday! I am 27 and I still wear my Werewolf costume and scare innocent Trick or Treaters!

It isn't ment to be scary or "Devilish". It's a time just to have fun, dress up and gorge on treats.

I'd ought to post pictures of me in my Werewolf costume.

Ha! That just gave me a mental image. That would be too funny to see. Maybe I can get him drunk enough to do that and record it.

[No Ticket]

I will tell you this and this only Halloween is ant-Christan and Halloween is Satan worship.

How is it Satan worship? The original intention of dressing up for Halloween was to ward off evil spirits by disguising ones-self as one. It has absolutely nothing to do with Satan at all. I was brought up Christian and we've never been told that there was anything bad about Halloween. It's not worshiping Satan to wear a costume around the neighborhood collecting candy. I'm not even sure how it could be viewed as such.

Are you one of those people who freak out over the Harry Potter books? I know there are some Christians who do, and while I respect everyone's beliefs I think it's kind of silly to get worked up over those books being about witchcraft and wizards. It's a fairy tale and yet just because it has to do with imaginary things like witches it's got to be evil and the work of the devil!

That's largely what viewing Halloween as Satan worship sounds like to me. It sounds like someone just told you that and you just decided to believe it to be true even though it's not.

[WilliamBoyd8]

I plan to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" on Halloween.

:)

Just ignore her. She's pretty much off her rocker anyway. It's people who throw the religion card into any argue gets me annoyed.

This Halloween people from across Manitoba will be flocking to Dugald to experience the fear shared by characters in their favourite horror movies coupled with the excitement of knowing it's all for fun in support of a good cause.

Unique Events is bringing its famous haunted house to offer people here the opportunity to learn what everyone in British Columbia has been talking about for years. The haunted house will cover more than 32,000 square feet and will feature costumes and props from famous horror movies like Dark Angel, Final Destination, The Adams Family, The Fog, the Scary Movie and Scream series, and many others.


The haunted house will feature a variety of themed displays, including famous scenes from The Exorcist as well as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. There will also displays of pirates, a western ghost town, a butcher's shop, an execution chamber, a graveyard, and even ancient ruins, just to name a few. The haunted house runs from Oct. 22-24 and again from Oct. 29-31, beginning at 6 p.m. and running until 10 p.m. each night.
