Liveblogging Halloween

[dougo]

Well, so far Halloween in the suburbs has been underwhelming. Only three visits by trick-or-treaters in the hour or so since sunset, and only the last group was at all enthusiastic about it. Best costume so far was a girl dressed as the squid-faced guy from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Probably a store-bought costume, but still pretty well done.

I think I'm going to have a lot of candy left over. I guess it's the lack of sidewalks and streetlights in my neighborhood, or it's just a little too far off the beaten path from other larger and more densely populated zones around the lake.

Aha, doorbell number 4. Black robes, glowsticks, and some unidentifiable plastic mask. Should I be asking what the costumes are? Or is it insulting if I can't tell what it is?

I believe the polite way to ask is "Tell me about your costume."

squid-faced guy=Davy Jones. I think they really missed the boat, so to speak, not having Davy Jones from the Monkees play him.

I had a zillion kids... I think they bus them in, because it's a dead end neighborhood. But they stopped dead at 8.20 and all the other neighbors closed their doors and put off the lights in unison. It was weird.
