I love Halloween.
I'm gonna dress up as a witch, hand out great candy to deserving kids (I already have a plastic pumpkin bucket of the stuff), read creepypasta and watch scary films all night yay.

Halloween was always pretty big in Ireland. "Jack O' Lantern" comes from a story about Stingy Jack.Gralian said:I most likely won't be dressing up this year, but if i was, i'd love to go as one of these guys...
The last time i dressed up for halloween though was a couple years back for a party and i went as a zombie.
That said, i think Halloween is an atrocious holiday and an American export that really has little place in the UK - or Europe as a whole - and is nothing but an excuse for young people to act like little hoodlums.

My parents would have carved turnips, but we carve pumpkins. Americanisation! We also have the delicious barmbrack!
You put a ring in it and whoever finds it has good luck for a year.
As for my costume, I'm flying Ryanair to Edinburgh, and I need to bring a tux with me anyway. So probably James Bond.
Zombie James Bond.
Pirate unicorn.
Why? Because I can.
Okay because everyone was going for pirates and wenches in my major friend group and I said I wanted to be a unicorn, didn't take long for the ideas to merge.

A zombie Admiral Nelson.
I was thinking of going as a green army man from Toy Story, but I couldn't get the American GI webbing (or olive paint) in time. Maybe next year for that.

Hallowe'en is my birth day ( yay )

I was Frankenstein's Monster,
not planning to dress up, but if i did it would probably be in my Karate gear with my Katana

If there's anything interesting on, I might papercraft myself a Splicer bird mask. Then throw on a shirt, a waistcoat and a pair of chinos. Perhaps some fake blood.
It's not looking like I'll be going to a Halloween party this year, sadly. That might be jsut as well though, because I don't have the money to come up with a silly costume. Went as a fairy last year, which was kinda fun (note that I'm a guy). Pink dress, magic wand, wings... quite lovely.
Honestly? I didn't know Halloween was a big thing in Ireland, or that the Jack O' Lantern came from an Irish tale. The name probably should've given it away, but i always assumed it came from American settlers who happened to be Irish. (or whatever nationality has cultural history in Halloween)seamusotorain said:
... That said, i'm actually interested enough to go look up the story of 'Stringy Jack', so i must thank you for that!
Also, about the ring in the cake thing, that's really interesting you should mention that because my family used to do something similar, only at Christmas - you put a 20p in the Christmas pudding and the person who finds it is also supposed to receive good luck and good fortune for the year ahead.
