This is the time of year where all my friends too old to trick-or-treat & too broke or antisocial to go to adult Halloween parties gather at whichever of us has the largest entertainment room or biggest TV & we either rent videos or bring our own DVDs.
But first, we cristen the night by going up to the gigantic hill of soil behind our old highschool at nightfall & eat & tell jokes around a hissing lantern, then chuck rocks at the baseball field. (Is it normal for a highschool to have 2 football fields, 4 baseball fields, & a giant hill of soil?)
Tim Burton mini marathon (mostly claymation), followed by Vincent Price marathon, followed by a zombie marathon.
I don't crap on the little kids' fun. I've seen entire enighborhoods skip out on candygiving participation. I go to a dollar store & get enough cheap candy to fill a pillowcase, then I leave it outside. On the bottom of the case is a note that reads "The brat that just left took the last piece." Taped to the back of the bag is a note that says "You're stupid if you think you can eat all of this shit yourself."
