Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

I received this in the post today and I was just so over the moon that I had to show you all.



Remember when tomanderson offered that Dracula video giveaway? Well, I won but because I'm in the UK, the video wouldn't have worked on my VCR, so tomanderson was sweet enough to send me a substitute prize.

The box was so cute - it even had little halloween stickers on it! And it contained a really sweet Halloween invitation/card, a comic book, a print out of some advertisements from Halloween comics, a glow in the dark poseable skeleton decoration and a bag of goodies containing - 2 bags of sugar babies (which are SO yummy!!), some spider rings, a rubber bat, a couple of little rubber rats, a skull keyring whose eyes LIGHT UP! (I screamed "this is the best keyring EVER" when I discovered that lol) Aaaand it also had a few pairs of vampire fangs, some jelly skeletons, some Beavis and Butthead collectors cards and a little monster candy box.

It was soooo cute it was like the Trick or Treat experience I never had! At the ripe old age of 22! haha!

Thank you so much tomanderson - you are a real sweetie

aaaww magickbean I am happy just hearing how happy you are!!!!!

hehe! Thanks Winnie! I am such a big kid but hey, life is more fun that way lol.

The nicest thing was that when I went round to collect the parcel this evening (we have a communual post area round the front of the building), the air was crisp and it was a bit chilly, and I could smell bonfire. It was quiet and almost spooky.. and absolutely perfect conditions to collect a Halloween parcel in! The spirit of Autumn has well and truly set in - so much so that it is tangible upon the air.

I wish the weather was like that here....uuuggghhh it is 95 degrees today....


By the way how did you make that picture in your signature? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Hocus Pocus.....

Me too!! It is my favourite Halloween movie

I did a google image search for Hocus Pocus and this picture came up, so then I saved it, put it into photoshop, cropped it, levelled the colours out a bit, got a black gradiated paintbrush and went around the outside of it to give it that "vignette" feel and then added the text! I can make one for you too, if you'd like?

That is awesome!

Oh, I am a little embarrassed! But happy you liked the stuff, Magickbean!

Halloween Freak, your box should have arrived by now, any news on that puppy?

Hehe sorry if I am embarrassed you! But these treasures just had to be shared! You shouldn't be embarrassed - you should be celebrated

(I have also called the skeleton Rodd, in your honour )

Heh heh...I liked Hocus Pocus too, it is actually very dark for a Disney movie and very funny too. I saw it in the theatres, and all that Halloween stuff looked GReAT on the big screen!

Tom... You're a Gentleman and a scholar!
