Halloween Is Fun
If you are looking for Halloween costumes, Halloween décor, Halloween movies or music or even a Halloween dinner, you have come to the right place!
Some of my best memories are of Halloween parties, haunted houses, costumes, trick or treating and even "rolling" yards on Halloween.
As a child, I enjoyed dressing up in a costume and trick or treating in our neighborhood. We went from house to house with our friends and gathered vast hordes of candy. The night air was electrified with excitement!

Halloween Costumes
As a teen, I gathered with my friends to stage a haunted house. We thoroughly enjoyed painting our faces in gory or grotesque make up and scaring the dickens out of anyone who crossed our path.
As a young adult, again I gathered with my friends for Halloween parties. We always dressed up in costumes and sometimes we would go to a haunted house ourselves.
As a young parent, we dressed our children in costumes and took them trick or treating, to a haunted house or to a Halloween party.

Having Fun on Halloween
Now that our children are grown, we still like to dress in costumes, decorate our home and give out candy to the trick or treaters. We always play Halloween music in the background.
Our son, pictured in the introduction, usually stays home for the first hour or so of trick or treating and hands out the candy. The neighborhood children always love his costumes. I think they come to our house more to see how our son is dressed than to get candy.
The little girls just love him and the little boys always want to emulate him.
After the trick or treaters turn in for the night, we enjoy a Halloween movie.
