http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/54.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Last Halloween my girlfriend and I were helping our children get into their costumes for trick or treating,my son (who was dressed as Spiderman) finished first and went off to the living room to watch T.V. while my daughter (a constant narcisist) primped and aranged her Witch outfit.
When my daughter (finaly) finished with her costume,I walked in to the living room to find my son staring intently at the T.V.,(it was on a channel showing horror movies) and I noticed he was watching the original "Halloween" and was very distressed over the Micheal Myers character,crying and saying "he didn't want to go trick or treat becuase the man with the white face would get him".
After a half hour of asuring him repeatedly that it was only a movie,and that there was no "white faced man" that would get him outside,we walked out of our house into the streets,now,there are LOADS of children were we live,so the street teamed with little monster,super heros and princesses.
After walking no more than 40 feet from our door step,I felt my sons hand grip mine in a death grip,I glanced down at him and saw he was staring off to the left & trembling,I followed his gaze and all I could think was "oh GAK".
There,walking towards us was one of our neighbors...dressed exactly like Michael Myers,needless to say my son climbed me like a capochin monkey and let out a shriek that rendered me deaf in my left ear for several weeks afterwards.
Well,long story short,I called my neighbor over (asking him to remove his mask) and we again calmed my son,who incidently had a great time trick or treating for the rest of the night,and now laughs about how scared he was.

So what about you my fellow Dakkites?any interesting Halloween stories? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261543/1051743.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261543/1051743.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261543/1051875.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261543/1051875.page GMT
The look on their faces when I turned around was genius. Mix of horror, disbelief, and just a little curiosity.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261543/1051908.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261543/1051908.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261543/1053438.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261543/1053438.page GMT
Through out the evening we had a steady stream of trick or treaters but about 9pm we stopped getting knocks on the door so got down to some serious drinking, about 10ish there was a knock on the door and we were expecting a couple more mates to turn up, I told my house mate to sneak out the side gate and jump out on them when I opened the door

When I opened the door, it wasn't my mates but a couple of kids aged about 6 with their granny, cue my house mate jumping from the side gate to behind them screaming that he wanted their limbs and waving a cleaver, they nearly died of fright
