Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 28, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 28, 2017 Anyone have any Halloween traditions? Aside from watching the Terror episode of Bottom, because I know we all do that. I always watch The Shining but the last few years I watched a horror film with my eldest. She's 10 now and last year we watched Tremors but although she liked it, she said she wanted something scarier this year. So we're putting A Serbian Film on. Not really, it's Poltergeist. I'll also probably eat a full box of Fiendish Fancies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I always try and watch either the original Halloween or Season of the Witch on the day itself. I'll be felling pretty down for much of the day though as Oct 31st would have been my dad's 65th birthday and this will be our second year without him. The only brightside will be seeing what my niece (18 months) and nephew (6) dress up like when they come for tea that evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SuperBacon Posted October 28, 2017 Members Share Posted October 28, 2017 We always watch The Nightmare Before Christmas, as everyone in the house loves it, and it's an ace film. Apart from that, just sitting in the dark and ignoring the doorbell is the only other tradition we observe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted October 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 29, 2017 I'm not a huge horror movie fan, at least not modern stuff. And my girlfriend can't watch anything even remotely scary, so for Halloween we usually just carve pumpkins and go to a party. We went to one last night but the hosts specifically said they weren't interested in seeing scary costumes. I don't know why. So we went as Rick and Morty. My girlfriend was Morty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted October 29, 2017 Awards Moderator Share Posted October 29, 2017 We'll carve a couple of pumpkins, and usually watch What We Do In The Shadows, although I think this year it's being trumped by Stranger Things.

ThumpSquids Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Reminisce about the year 'Ghost Watch' first aired. No-one at school the following day talked about anything else.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one at school the following day talked about anything else.  We always watch Ghost Watch with the kids on Halloween night, just for nostalgia purposes and to talk with them about how scary it was at the time. All they do is laugh all the way through it. Also, in recent years we have replaced watching "Halloween" with Trick r Treat as our late night watch when the brats have been sent to bed...

Paid Members Tommy! Posted October 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 29, 2017 I can't be arsed with Halloween. If it wasn't for the Simpsons special every year it would have no redeeming feature. It's worst offence is students on a night out, who are bad enough before they get given reason to be more of a cunt than normal. Now bonfire night, that's an evening I can get behind.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted October 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 29, 2017 Love Halloween. Not the dressing up or any of that shite. Love the theme of it and the programmes that follow. My Halloween Playlist is: -Ghost Watch. -Carry On Screaming. -Bottom Terror. -One or maybe all Roseanne Halloween episodes. -SummerSlam 92 (this just reminds me of 1992 Halloween because I was addicted to this show around that time.) -Treehouse of Horrors of course. Cant get enough of it. Anyone seen the Ghost Watch documentary they put out a few years back? Any good? Cant believe in 2017 they havent made it available for instant download.

The Beeb got thousands of complaints and one teenager committed suicide, so they don't tend to think of it as their finest hour. They've written about it here though.

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted October 31, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 31, 2017 My terrifying tradition is fucking Halloween off entirely because people act like such twats - might watch a horror film, but that’s a possibility any day. Spoooooky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
