Re: GTKY - Halloween Edition
Eh, maybe like a 4. I
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
As a kid my favorite was a Princess Jasmine costume my mom sewed for me. As an adult, Carmen Sandiego was probably my best.
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
Got this shirt to dress up the bump.
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Reese's - preferably the "pumpkin" (aka blob) shape kind. Though I just discovered Peanut Butter Snickers and those are pretty good too. (Clearly I'm a chocolate peanut butter person.)
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
So, I do not watch horror movies. I don't like being scared.

5.5?? I think maybe when DS gets old enough to understand and be excited, I might care more. And I love fall but it was 90’ in the desert today so it feels weird for it to be almost Halloween. Lol.
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
My mom handmade all of our costumes. A pretty memorable one was when my brother and I both dressed up as Dalmatians from 101 Dalmatians.
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
I think I’m Minnie Mouse, MH is Mickey and DS is Pluto this year. I don’t feel like I have a big enough bump for a bump-specific costume. Or enough creative energy to figure something out.
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
3 Musketeers. I’m not really a candy person and that is pretty much one of the only candies that I eat. Reese’s pumpkins are okay.
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown... I don’t do scary movies. Lol.
Solid 3. I’m hoping to get more into as my kids get old enough to participate though.
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
I’ve never dressed up as an adult (I was going to be a scarecrow this year until we found out my husband would be gone for Halloween) As a kid, honestly I don’t remember any costumes. I’m so boring!
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
No.
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Do caramel apples count? Because caramel apples.
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
Elf. I mean... Ummmmmmmm *glances at my countdown to Christmas app*
10!! I live for Halloween. Honestly my favorite day of the year. I love all things scary.
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
As a kid, I don't think I ever wore a "normal" girl costume, lol. My favorite was when I was 9 or 10, I was Frankenstein. Painted my face/neck/hands green, got my dad to use the modeling putty stuff to make the big brow, and super glued some bolts to my neck. Hahahah. As an adult, probably last year - DH, DS and I did a freak show theme. DH was a strong man, I was a bearded lady (complete with lace-backed beard, haha) and DS (2) was our ringleader.
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
Yes! I haven't decided as what yet, though.
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Reese's pumpkins. Nothing else even comes close.
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
I'll be completely basic and say my favorite Halloween movie is Hocus Pocus. Rocky Horror Picture Show is a close second. As far as horror movies, I have a ton... IT, The Shining, Night of the Living Dead, Psycho and Poltergeist are top 5.

Hmm.. 5. I only like it for my kids sake. I never really liked it as a kid. I was/am afraid of all the things AND I don’t want to walk blocks for candy. My sisters would literally walk miles and fill pillow cases. I stayed back with my Mom and passed out candy (which I DID enjoy until scary costumes came up). It’s also cold where I’m from so as a child we almost always had snow suits over our costumes. What’s the point? Eye roll... ha!
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
As a kid..... Probably a devil when I was 4. It was super cute and I was kind of a devil child so it was fitting. As an adult I would say Amy Winehouse was my best. I had the mole, pretend tattoos, the hair bump, etc.
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
Probably not. I thought about it and know the kids would love it, but we have an overwhelming of Halloween events for the kids that I don’t even have time to think of myself. Ha! I wanted to be an egg and hubby bacon. If we had a party to go to or something we totally would.
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Oooh... Reese’s or Blow Pops.
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
Casper! No scary movies for me, please! Get back to me for Christmas, I’m much more into that.
Like a 3 or 4... definitely not my favorite holiday, though I think I'll enjoy seeing my kids dress up!
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
I didn't go trick or treating every year as a kid and barely remember my costumes other than I was a gymnast at least 5 times haha!!! I was a gymnast IRL and it was always my first choice! I did dress up as Ms Frizzle for school in 5th grade though and that was a pretty good costume oh and Laura Ingalls Wilder too, my mom made the dress!
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
I'm being a bump in the road and DS will be a construction worker!
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Reeses!!! (and by the way it is pronounced reesIS, not reesEES... I worked at Hersheypark for years and it was a huge pet peeve of mine!)
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
I don't like horror movies at all and don't think I've ever watched a Halloween movie...
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult? My mom always recycled our costumes so I was always either a witch or a clown. I think my favorite was the year I was a vampire.
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year? I'm pretty last minute and still haven't decided yet. If I can figure out something low cost and easy I probably will.
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy? Twix, nerds, reese's, snickers, skittles.. aw; hell. I just love candy.
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie? I don't really have one, but I'm watching American Horror Story right now. Hocus Pocus is a classic. And can't forget Nightmare Before Christmas.
On a scale of 1-10 how "into" Halloween are you?
Now, probably a 7...but I used to be like an 11. Hubs and I were really into Halloween before we had kids and hosted a party every year.
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
As a kid i had an awesome unicorn costume one year. As an adult, probably 8 years ago I did a big bar crawl in NYC and wore a really elaborate vampire costume with prosthetic fangs and such.
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
we’re doing a halloween gender reveal party and I’m being a pumpkin...for comfort’s sake.
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
reese’s pb cups and twizzlers.
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
I don’t like horror movies much, but somehow have watched every season of American horror story. I’ll jump on the Hocus Pocus bandwagon.

Under 6 layers of clothes.
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?

My kid one and weren't great. As an adult DS and I dressed as Woody and Jessie from Toy Story. Picture at the top.

hocus pocus
7ish. I find the older I get the more into holidays I am
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
It looks like my best costume as a kid was a clown even though I DESPISE clowns now. My best adult costume was from a couple years ago when H and I went as Dexter Morgan and victim .I may edit in a pic later. When Baby G gets older I am hoping we can all dress up as characters from Harry Potter. Hell maybe we will do that next year and the baby can be Baby Harry!
**Pic of us as Dexter and victim in spoiler** (not my best costume but one of the better ideas I had through the years)
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
We dress up at work so I too am going to be a Mummy. I will put eyeballs on my belly.
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
I hate peanut butter but I like most other candy...I guess I like the classics like M&M's, Almond Joy, etc.
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
I don't do horror movies but my favorite Halloween movie is a tie between Rocky Horror and Hocus Pocus.

eh... 3-4.
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
As an adult, 2 girlfriends and I were taco bell sauce packets. We made the costumes and they were awesome!
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
We had a halloween party this past weekend...
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
I love anything chocolatey.. even not pregnant. Reeses, tootsie rolls, m&ms, rolos. I have a major sweet tooth.
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
eek.. I don't do scary movies!
On a scale of 1-10 how "into" Halloween are you?
7 - I’m definitely more into now as an adult than I was as a kid.
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
i don’t remember many costumes as a kid. I was a pumpkin when I was really little. Stopped dressing up in junior high. My favorite adult costume was robin (I wore it twice- one year with DH as some super hero and one year with DS as Batman)
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
Not dressing up the bump- I’m going to a theme party so I just got a regular costume to fit the theme in a larger size
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
3 musketeers
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
That’s a tough one! Not a Halloween movie, but I love Stephen King movies.
6? I like the spirit of collectively pretending, but I've clocked plenty of years doing nothin'... I think it will be fun to collaborate on halloween costumes with my kid(s).
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
I came up with a semi-ridiculous costume for myself when I was in 5th grade, maybe: recycling bin. I was a self-proclaimed Environmentalist and wanted to encourage the three Rs
As an adult, I've been a pretty convincing Robert Smith (of The Cure) one year, and Gandhi another. Once I dressed up as Groucho Marxist, because I like puns? Ian and I put a lot of effort into dressing as Fremen, the alien desert race of people described in the sci-fi book Dune, for our first halloween together. Cool right?
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
I don't think so! We're not having or going to a costume party.
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Also a fan of peanut butter cups (though I prefer Newman's Own!).
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
I enjoy movies, but I don't really choose favorites or watch things more than once. My husband is insisting I watch The Thing this year. And I'm excited for Stranger Things!
I am probably a 7. My Mom loved it too and our house was always decked out for Halloween. She even dressed up and had a cauldron boiling in the front yard. I loved it.
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
When I was a kid I had a Kiss mask that I wore for three years in a row. Apparently that was my favorite costume. I have no idea what I was thinking. I was pregnant in a house dress and curlers one year. My husband used my extensions from our wedding to create a magnificent mullet (like Joe Dirt).
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
I might. I am so busy right now with school, work, kids, home, and DH's hunting season. I am just excited that I got things decorated and that the kids have costumes.
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
I love candy corn and caramel apples.
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
That is difficult. I have a list that I usually watch around this time. It's mostly Harry Potter and Legend (with Tom Cruise). Hocus Pocus is also great and The Nightmare Before Christmas. I have never seen the traditional movies like Jason, Nightmare on Elm Street, or anything like that.
Maybe a 4? I really love fall and pumpkin patches and carving and all that stuff, but I don't really care so much about Halloween itself anymore. I had fun with it as a kid though, and I do like passing out candy to the trick or treaters!
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
My dad always made our costumes, and they were always awesome! We normally picked ideas out of American Girl Magazine
As an adult, I've only really dressed up once outside of college. MH and I were pumpkin pie--he wore a shirt with a pumpkin on it, I wore a shirt with 3.14 on it, and it was an epic fail. No one got it. I should've used the pi symbol instead of 3.14 because everyone kept asking what March 14th meant. We're both engineers though, so I thought it was nerdy and fabulous!
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
Nope. Still no bump to speak of, and we don't have any costume parties. I don't care enough to dress up for trick or treaters, but you better believe my dog will be in a costume!
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
It would be easier to tell you what candy I don't like because it's a much shorter list... I don't discriminate when it comes to sweet stuff!
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
I really haven't seen any of the "classic" Halloween movies, so I guess I'll go with It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown too!
ETA picture
On a scale of 1-10 how "into" Halloween are you?
Eh.. maybe a 6. I don't like to dress up personally, but I do enjoy passing out candy and seeing other people's costumes!
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
As a kid I won a costume contest as a genie and I loved it! As an adult, last year my parents bar threw a Halloween party with the GOT theme. We nailed Khaleesi and Khal Drogo. (I can't get the picture to be under this question.. -_- )
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
I thought about it. I found a really cute scarecrow costume on Pinterest but haven't quite decided if it's worth the effort, lol.
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Caramel Apple suckers!!!!!!!!!!
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
Hocus Pocus. Always will be
@npkat That's a cute couple's costume!
@ShawnnaO I'd say caramel apples count!
On a scale of 1-10 how "into" Halloween are you? I'd say about an 8. I'll dress up, eat candy, give out candy, decorate my cubicle and apartment, and anything else fun I can think of. I just won't go the scary route.
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult? I absolutely loved the butterfly costume my dad made me when I was younger - I wore it until I accidentally tore the wings. My two most favorite costumes were a steampunk girl and a Geisha. The Geisha one was fun because I used my yukata that a friend bought for me in Japan.
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year? I had no plans to dress the bump, but generally I don't make up my mind until the weekend before. I might end up changing my mind.
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy? I love the sweetart skulls and bones. When I was little the packages contained all parts of a skeleton, but now it's just skulls and bones. Either way they are a fun themed candy.
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie? Um...Hocus Pocus, Nightmare before Christmas, Casper....I like all the fun ones, I can't handle scary.

probably a 9 or 10- I love all major holidays and always have the house appropriately decorated and I love making the house all "spooky" for Halloween (plus, if there's a cobweb in the corner? Eh it's now a Halloween decoration)
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
My parents were really creative with my costumes as a kid and they were always home-made. One year I was a Dalmatian, I wore a pair of white sweatpants and white zip up hoodie, my parents painted my face white and added black spots and my dad used black electrical tape and cut out tons of irregular shaped dots and stuck them all over me. My parents also did the same thing with a black sweatsuit and glow in the dark tape and made me a skeleton. I think my all time fave was a 50's girl where my mom made me a giant poodle skirt, complete with dog on the bottom.
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
Nope, ever since I've had kids and taken them out trick-or-treating I've lost interest in getting in costume myself and instead just focus on making sure their costumes stay on!
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Reese's or Almond Joy, even though I don't like nuts I like the milk chocolate better than the dark chocolate of Mounds so I eat around the almond haha
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
Can't think of one favorite, if I'm in the mood any scary movie will do!
Eh, probably a 4. I love the candy and seeing the decorations and costumes, but I was never that into decorating or dressing up until maybe this year. We just moved into a small town, and before this I'd always lived in the country where there was no one around to see any decorations anyway. Right now I just don't have a lot of money yet to decorate everything, so I've only got a little bit of decorations up this year.
I think I would be more excited about dressing up for comic con than Halloween...
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
I remember these really horrible clown costumes my mom made one year for my brother and I, with the hoop in the middle so you looked roly-poly and had a rainbow afro wig... it was humiliating, and I think there's photo evidence somewhere with us looking really pissed. The best one was when we dressed up as cowboys. We had really cool stuff because my Dad was a western saddle/leather artisan.
I haven't really dressed up as an adult, but I will this year! (see next question!)
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
I plan to come to work this year dressed as Jayne from Firefly. My mom knitted me the hat from the show, and I already have a bunch of Firefly t-shirts, cargo pants, and combat boots.
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Tootsie-rolls, especially the vanilla and the fruit versions of tootsie rolls.
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
Not a big fan of the horror movies, but my favorite movies with "Halloween" themes is the Harry Potter series,
Maybe a 7 or 8? I LOOOOVE Halloween.
What was your favorite/best costume you wore as a kid? As an adult?
As a kid, probably dressing up as the Wicked Witch from the Wizard of Oz. My mom even put a fake nose and chin on me! (She was very into Halloween when we were kids.) As an adult the one I'm most proud of was my costume as the "Bee Girl" from the Blind Melon video for "No Rain." A lot of people didn't know who I was but I made the costume myself (dyed fabric, sewed on sequins) and wore my old tap shoes to the bars.
Are you dressing up "the bump" this year?
I might dress up for the kiddos in our neighborhood, but the party we'd planned on going to has been cancelled so I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I'd thought about being Ursula from The Little Mermaid but I'm not sure I want to go through all of that effort just for my neighborhood kids.
Most important question: What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Probably Reese's pumpkins or Milky Way (fun size...not those mini ones!)
What is your favorite Horror (or Halloween) movie?
Oh man, I love Hocus Pocus as others have mentioned above, as well at The Nightmare Before Christmas. (I'm thinking about doing a NBC-themed costume for DH, myself, and the babe next year.) Horror movie-wise, I love classics like Halloween, The Exorcist, and Pet Sematary, as well as new stuff like The Conjuring. I am such a baby about scary movies but I LOVE being scared at the same time.
