I wish I lived somewhere where it snowed by Halloween.
No. You don't. Trust me.
Snow on Halloween sucks, especially black ice.

It's Jason!!!I will probably go to my sister's house and be the Hockey Guy again. Here is a picture of her house, just before dark, and me as Hockey Guy, without my chainsaw. (I use an old, nonworking chainsaw as a prop)
Two pictures: first is a house with a fog machine and many different Halloween decorations around the front yard, just before darkness. Second is me, wearing a green North Stars replica hockey jersey and a white hockey mask.
I'm not sure what I will dress up like.
However!!! I know what Kokonut will be. A tampon.
That sounds awesome!Unless I got somebody to dress up with I find myself too old for halloween fun, except of course for some occasional haunted houses or what-nots... but then again they're more fun when with someone or at least a group of friends.
For those of you living in the south and not too far of a drive from Chattanooga. Ruby Falls Cave now has their Haunted Cavern open... the hours are each weekend fri-saturday starting at 8 pm, until Halloween. The (self-guided) haunted tour takes roughly an hour to an hour and half to go through.
You go down 260 feet in a actual elevator shaft to the cave below, you are given a small light stick (all other light sources are not allowed and WILL be taken away) you then go through underground 1000 feet of this year's theme Wyrmwood Asylum where the story is inmates from an insane asylum had taken over and gone crazy killing the staff and each other and escaping to the cave below to hide out. The path is part cave and part man-made exit tunnel.
When you reach the end you ride the "Hellavator" back "up" to the surface and go outside to the highway below the castle. A shuttle picks you up and brings you back up to the second part of the tour where you find more of the inmates who have escaped and are waiting to terrify you.
There are group rates available if you call ahead. Check out 9/17/2009 - Haunted Cavern At Ruby Falls Prepares To Scare - Travel - Chattanoogan.com

There are also signing tours available for groups up to 15 during the day. Call ahead for reservation to ensure getting a signing guide. Something to do before the haunted cavern should you and your group arrive early. The signing tours are through the regular cave/waterfall and are separate cost from the Haunted Tour. The signed tours are available year-round.

How come you dont like Halloween? Just curious.
Eh... I practically don't like anything that has to do with celebrations except birthdays I'm weird like that... I also don't like dressing up which could be another reason as to why I'm not fond about halloween... :shrug:
Interesting. My husband doesnt like it because he doesnt like scary stuff. My ex hubby doesnt either because of his religion.

The History Halloween
Halloween is on October 31st, the last day of the Celtic calendar. It was originally a pagan holiday, honoring the dead. Halloween was referred to as All Hallows Eve and dates back to over 2000 years ago.
All Hallows Eve is the evening before All Saints Day, which was created by Christians to convert pagans, and is celebrated on November 1st. The Catholic church honored saints on this designated day.
It is far older than the US.
