How fun was Halloween for you when you were a kid ?

Church cookies better

I LOVED Halloween when I was a kid. Picking out a costume. Going trick or treat. Going to the Halloween Parade. Mom making Carmel apples.

Did the same things with my daughter.

Now my Halloween is putting up some decorations and watching scary movies.

my stepmom would do hand made costumes

the one I wasn't impressed with was the only way to do the spiderman costume was girls leotards
and taking me shopping to get the "right size"

even at 5 I knew better than to be wearing girls clothes

Like every other night locked in my room.

I put on my baseball uniform, put a sheet over me, then put on a Tigers cap, grabbed one of my bats and went as Ty Cobb

i dont recall the last time i have experienced "fun"

Every year we would head straight for Mrs. Nelsons house for that incredible popcorn ball. Then over to Newton's house for the carmel apples. Then the other houses for whatever candy bars, smarties, etc.. It was the mid 70s, way before everything had to be pre-packaged. A set of glow in the dark teeth from Woolworths and a towel pinned around my neck for a cape. Good times.

Sound amazing :)

Had some good times here and there. The volunteer firemen putting on pretty awesome haunted houses out in the country. Dressing as a gypsy; fav costume more than one year. Candy...so many varieties of candy. Sharing and swapping candy at school like it was contraband the next couple of days after Halloween.
Cool school Halloween arts and crafts.

Loads, but I'm talking the 60s and 70s. My sisters and I had exactly 3 masks: Donald Duck, Goofy, and Mickey Mouse. We switched off every year. Little plastic pumpkin buckets. We went to ever house in town (only 800 ppl) and didn't have to worry about razor blades in Snicker bars or freaks trying to kidnap us.

ZERO. UNKNOWN in my era.

In the UK, traditionally, the BIG one is Bonfire Night on 5th November. In the UK is was monumental. Halloween was regarded as some obscure American crap from across the Pond.

For those who do not know about 5th November...
