Fun things to do on Halloween
When selecting treats to pass out at
the homestead, avoid non-nutritious candies and gums. Instead offer
celery and blue cheese sauce platters. While the neighborhood rugrats
may loathe you, you'll undoubtedly be a hit with the local dental
hygienist (Note: House windows should be securely boarded before
attempting).
Take care to choose a Halloween personae
that lends itself to self-defense. A wicked witch with the trademark
broom has a vast combative edge over an wand-wielding fairy.
When trying to choose an appropriate
costume, be sure to select the darkest colors available. Go for
black ninja suits or other non-reflective garb.
Costume accessories can really make
the difference. Avoid using plastic props. Opt for real cutlery
to stand out in the crowd.
And for little tikes, don't garb them
in a white bed sheet that's bound to get tarnished! To cut Halloween
budget corners, use white kitchen garbage bags. The costume also
doubles as a large goodie bag, in the event that the feelings of
asphyxiation simply become too unbearable for the youngster.
When out collecting candy, visit houses
in out-of-the-way dimly lit areas. Especially look for houses without
*any* lights on. These are the enthusiasts trying to make Halloween
especially authentic and eerie for little ghoulies.
If no unlit houses can be found in
your area, you will be forced to approach the well-lighted houses.
But don't knock on the door! Instead, sneak around an knock on windows
or rustle around in crawl-spaces. The resident family will appreciate
your sense of originality and will likely reward you handsomely.
You can also look for organized community
events to entertain teens. Who can forget playing "Disintegrate
The Mailbox," "Pumpkin Toss," "Teacher Toilet
Paper Party," "Plastic Pumpkin Pillage," and "Pummel
The Ghoulies."
Before bobbing for apples at your
local Halloween carnival, fill your mouth brimming full with ketchup.
When underwater, discharge the goo, then frantically jerk your head
up out of the water screaming, "Razor! Razor!"
