Anyone on here into Halloween and have you got any plans for it.

Also any real life ghost stories to tell.

It's never too early for Halloween 🎃🎃🎃

    Luckily we live on a private estate and don't get hassled by trick or treaters, I remember when I was a kid we had bonfire night not halloween, bah humbug 🤡
    I never answer my front door unless I`m expecting someone or something.

    Me neither Cartini. I try get out on halloween though as my street gets very busy and saves me the annoyance, bought a big bag of sweets once and put them in a bucket outside but gone in 10 minutes.

    @Grinchy I always enjoy the spooky movies. I'm watching the x files right now some scary episodes 👻👻

    @woodbine I've never enjoyed the fireworks. I do like the big bonfire and people gathered around on a cold night.

    @bg844 hopefully you can bring your own chainsaw this year 😜

    @Sandy_123 I'd like to go to a Halloween party this year I haven't been to one in years. But I also enjoy just watching some scary movies and and a takeaway lol

    @cartini I usually leave a bowl of sweets and chocs at the door there's nothing left when I check later in the night🤣 probs someone just takes them all🤷

    That`s just made me chuckle. I have an image in my head of loads of kids sticking their heads into the bucket akin to pigs around a trough.

    I will get some treats for kiddies knocking the door. I always engage with them saying things like omg your so scary etc

    @Sandy_123 that's the original way of doing it. Just too many people knocking on my door rather just leave the sweets outside 🙂

    I don’t open the door unless expecting someone and even then I find it hard and often don’t. 

    My family don’t mind opening the door and giving out sweets to young children and like @Sandy_123 they say things to them like “you scared me!!”.

    However they are not keen on older children/teenagers knocking for sweets. I think their unofficial rule is if the kids are old enough to be out alone without an adult, they are too old to go trick-or-treating.

    Yeah I agree lol. I will pick some sweets up next time I'm out.

    I really like the autumn and the long lead up to Christmas but we don’t put sweets out for the kids, especially not this year because I’m on a diet. Perhaps they’d enjoy some carrot sticks instead? 🤣

    I bought some last year in case we had any visitors, but no one came round. Which meant that we ended up eating a load of sweets ourselves!
