Halloween

We're just over a week before All Hallow's Eve, Samhain, AKA Halloween.
Does anybody have any fun plans or traditions?
I used to fill up my October with horror movies, but my fiance doesn't do horror. We've compromised with horror / Halloween themed lighter fare like Young Frankenstein, Mad Monster Party, The Comedy of Terrors, The Nightmare Before Christmas, It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, Garfield's Halloween Adventure, and Halloween episodes of The Simpsons, South Park, and The Real Ghostbusters.
I'll still make some time to watch my favorite Halloween movie, Trick R Treat.
We'll likely carve a pumpkin, had out candy to trick or treators, and hoist a few cider & rum cocktails. We usually try to get in a ghost tour in October, but we've been busy planning a wedding.

I'll be heading out to a party with my girl and some friends and having a horror movie/trick-or-treating marathon. My girl and I might dress up as Sybil and Basil Fawlty respectively.

Hi all,
On Halloween I will hand out candy to the children and go to Kelly's after I am done with it.

On October 31st... I've got anything that can play a DVD/Blu-ray playing some classic old movie. And about 15 cases of assorted Pumpkin brews chillin.
I officially extended All Hallow's Eve well into November, to get it all in. The Simpson, which often ran their Treehouse Of Horror episodes after Halloween, started that trend... so I did the same. Around Thanksgiving time I transition into Christmas -- the music gets jollier, the brews darker and the sweaters gayer.
So for Halloween Movies -- the older the better! Silents are the most atmospheric to me. Phantom of the Opera, Nosferatu, The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, etc. Then there's Dracula (1931) and Frankenstein. Plenty of viewings of Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, and as many Simpson's Treehouse of Horrors as I can stuff in.

Bean Bag,
Yes, I forgot to mention that pumpkin beer makes for a good Halloween.
I usually extend a little into November to coincide with the Day of the Dead.
Simpsons Treehouse of Horror is always a treat. Did you see the non-Treehouse Halloween episode this past Sunday? Best Simpsons episode in years IMO.

I didn't see it yet, but I heard about it! Hopefully it's still saved on my DVR!

I like a lot of the classic horror movies too.
I'm also a big fan of the Roger Corman / Vincent Price Edgar Allan Poe movies from the early 1960s.
We're doing to do our annual Great Pumpkin / Garfield's Halloween Adventure DVD viewing tonight. Two classic Halloween cartoons back-to-back, as intended. Sadly, the Garfield one hasn't aired in many many years.

I'm big into the film Vampyr from 1932. For those of you who are into Dreyer's filmmaking, seeing him do horror is just a mindfuck.

Do yourself a favor everyone, if you haven't already, check out the movie Trick R Treat. The movie highlights everything that is great about Halloween.

Thanks, KDS. Halloween is my favorite holiday & I certainly had seen many thematic horror films, incl. mentioned below. But not Trick R Treat.

Definitely check it out. Don't let the fact that the movie went straight to DVD fool you. Apparently, a studio head at Warner Bros blocked a theatrical release for whatever reason. If you ask me, it's far superior to most horror movies that have been released theatrically in the last decade.
Also, the Simpsons aired Treehouse of Horror XXVI last night. Since it's less than 24 hours, I won't reveal anything. It was fun, but a little uneven. Seems like their best writing efforts went into the Halloween themed non-Treehouse the previous week.

Hallowe'en is now a big money-spinner in the Netherlands, where it has no tradition whatsoever.

In the grand scheme of things, Halloween, as we know it, is still a relatively new in the United States. The holiday is still evolving as, in the last 10-15 years, it's been more embraced by adults.

I'm happy to report that Sam Adam's Octoberfest is back baby! It took a dive to the malt-side for a few years, but it's now back to it's smooth, caramel origins.

Now
that's
the aspect of Hallowe'en they should be concentrating on over here----smooth caramel origins and all.

I had a Sam Octoberfest for the first time in probably three years a couple weeks ago.
When did they go malty? I ask because when I drank it a couple weeks ago, I thought it was exceptionally smooth.

I'm not sure when, but I'd say the last few years it seemed like it was just heavier, more burnt-malty-syrupy. It must have been like that for a few years, because when I saw it in the stores I didn't even think twice about getting any. I did eventually get their Harvest Sampler -- or whatever it's called -- and it had a few in there. I was pleasantly surprised!
This is how I remember it being. More like a Newcastle. Goes down real nice!

I thought it seemed a little heavy last time I had it. That's why the last couple years, I've opted for pumpkin flavored beers. But, when I had Octoberfest at that wedding I went to a couple weeks ago, it pretty much tasted like the best far beer ever....which is how I remember it.

What's beer festival is doing in the Halloween thread? Wanna discuss drinks - go to a specific thread, it's somewhere in the Sandbox. This holiday isn't about boring alcohol consumption.

In my experience, which is considerable, alcohol consumption is never boring. Often ill-advised, frequently calamitous... but never boring.

Octoberfest and pumpkin flavored seasonal beers are very popular this time of year. So, I would say, if you're of legal drinking age of course, there's nothing wrong with hoisting a few fall beers on the night that the line between the living and the dead is blurred.
