When it comes to dressing up for All Hallows Eve, I usually go the sweet route. In past years I’ve been a loofah, a mermaid, a figure skater, a geisha, the list could go on, but all of the ideas were fun and festive. I was never one to go the scary route.
That is until this year. We’re planning to go to a friend’s house to help pass out candy and they’re transforming their garage into a haunted den of scares. I am to dress as something a little more sinister than my usual and I’m finding it hard to land on a direction.
This got me to thinking about what you guys do! Do you usually go the scary? Or sweet?

I am totally on the sweet bandwagon (carebear, deer, loofah (so awesome), sushi…)
Though the idea of being something scary IS appealing I just never end up doing it!
I’m all about the scary. I never used to be, but some sort of switch got flipped one day and now I just try to grab the creepiest, scariest things possible. Hopefully with all this exposure, my daughter won’t grow up to be a total chicken like me!! Haha
We painted our faces like skeletons this year & totally freaked some people out. It was basically awesome.
Oh that sounds like such a fun night! I always go the sweet route too. I love the idea of going as a loofah! how original!
Scary, I definitely enjoy the scary decorations and the scary costumes. I hide fake roaches, rats and bloody stumps around the house to scare my kids. It is so much fun because they are all boys (11-14) who try to act so tough but always end up screaming.
Tricia,
I laughed out loud thinking about the boys who try to act so strong! How cute!
I’m all about the sweet. My boyfriend is all about the scary. It’s interesting to try to compromise! As you could tell by our costumes this year (a croquembouche + a french chef), I won. =) Though he does have some fake scars he’s wearing to work tomorrow!
I want to trick or treat at your friends garage! Sounds awesome! I miss those all-out decorations!
