Everybody has fond memories of Halloween past. I have quite a few,and would like to hear some of the posters favorite Halloween experiences too. Here's one to start us on our way........ Every year on Halloween night, my entire family would meet at my grandparent's house. The adults always got totally wasted on alcohol, and would take all of us children, Trick or Treating. One year when I was seven, the party was well underway, and it was time, to walk around town Trick or Treating. We started out Grandma's front door, and my drunken aunt, stepped on a pumpkin, on the steps,and was hurled into a big Blue Spruce, in the front yard., LMAO!!! My aunt is a rotund woman, so she was unable from a combination of obesity, and drunkenness, to pull herself, out of the tree. LOL!!! It took 3 grown men, to haul her fat butt, out of the tree. I thought the whole family would die laughing. It was such a sight to behold, we laughed till we cried. That's one of many drunken Halloween stories,, I will put in this thread. :hal3:
When I saw the title of the thread, I thought you meant stories as in "tales". My all time favorite is "The Headless Horseman".
I saw that play at school, when I was in elementary school and they did such an awesome job. I remember seeing the pumpkin hurling towards Ichabod and the lights went completely out. Stage and auditorium. We could still hear the sound of horseshoes on cobble stones and since we had a concrete floor, it sounded like he was right there. I sat frozen, holding my breath, trying to will myself invisible until the lights came on. I looked around and when I was sure there were no headless horsemen lurking around...I took a breath. Shewww that did me in. To this day, it's one of my favorite stories.
Which by the way, is not as funny as your "totaled aunt" story. LMAO! The mental picture is too much! :biggrin:
Your aunt story rocks!
I remember being under the age of 9 or 10 and the dads in the neighborhood had the pleasure of taking the children around the neighborhood in a large pack. I guess that was so the boogy man would not get us. Either that or the moms knew if the dads were in charge of answering the door, the Snickers bars would be missing and the bad candy would be the only stuff left.
I remember I got the arse whooping of a lifetime after one trick or treat. That was when they were finding needles and crap in candy and people were x-raying the candy at the ER to make sure there wasn't anything in it. Well my sister and I got the warning about eating it before mom could take a knife to it and cut every stinking piece in half. Yeah okay like we were not going to eat ANY! My big mistake was throwing my empty wrappers back into my bag. Opps! At least I didn't litter.
I think I dressed as a "Valley Girl" for 3 years in a row.

The headless horseman, has always been one of my favorite stories too. Have you ever seen the movie "Sleepy Hollow"? I think Johny Depp played Icobad Crane in it. It was pretty good. :yes:

I believe I've missed that, which is odd, since I like the story and Johnny Depp. :biggrin:

When I was maybe 5 or 6 ,one year our babysitter, took us around Trick or Treating. I believed that the Bogeyman was real. We went to this family in town, who had a son, who was thought of, as the town bully. We walked past a lawnchair with a scare crow in it. All of a sudden, when we pushed the doorbell, and started to sing, the Trick or Treat smell my feet song, that scare crow sprang to life, and rushed towards us. Man talk about chaos!!!! We were blocked in, and couldn't run past him. We were screaming bloody murder, and throwing our candy bags at him, and his Mom was screaming at him, to stop. It was total pandemonium LOL!!! I think I might have shit my pants, if I remember right LMAO!!!! I wouldn't go Trick or Treating for 3 years after that. That little fatass really scared the hell out of us, and all our babysitter could do. was just stand there ,and laughed till she peed her pants LMAO!! GOOD TIMES!!!! :hal3:
That story reminded me of a Halloween experience, with my children. I took my daughter, a little over 2, my son and nephew, both 8, trick or treating. We were walking up to house and it was completely decorated, the porch light was on and I could tell that something was in the yard. It looked like a pile of leaves or something non- threatening. The boys charged ahead, they didn't have the patience to wait for lil' Mojo, 'coz her legs were short and she rushes for NO one. :biggrin: She has to stop and inspect everything. Anyway, the boys got about halfway up the walk and that lump came to life. There were two guys dressed in Army fatigues, faces made up and they had that fake camouflage net grass thing over them. The boys started screaming and hopping in place. I was laughing, but trying to make my way to the boys to reassure them. Next thing I know, Lil' Mojo pushes me and stomps past. One of the guys saw her and said, "No, stop..there's a baby". They didn't want to scare her. LMAO! She marched right up in front of both boys, points her finger at them and went off in toddler gibberish. I don't have ANY idea what she was saying, but she was mad!

She sounds like a go getter. :smile: I think sometimes people get carried away on the pranks. I was soo scared it traumatized me LOL!!! I know a little girl that had a similar thing happen, and she freaked out soo bad ,she jumped threw an open car window. :spooked: She didn't get hurt thank God. :spooked:
I wish she would have gone up to the guys and put a toddler boot up their arse! :biggrin:
LMAO! I'm surprised she didn't and the look on the two guys faces was priceless...stuck between amazement and laughter.
One year we started out to go trick or treating, and of course the adults were wasted like every year. We didn't even make it out of my Grandma's yard. We were all walking through the yard talking, and all of a sudden my Dad was gone. He had tripped on a culvert overhang, and fell about 3 feet down. LOL!! It was crazy because when you're looking at somebody and talking, and all of a sudden their face is gone, it takes a second to realize what happened. He got bruised up pretty bad. Needless to say, he never left the yard that night. We still laugh about it. My Dad will say "Do you remember the year I got drunk on Halloween?" Me and my sister always say "which year would that have been, you were drunk every year." LMAO :yes:
:biggrin:
