I love Halloween. I love to play dress-up, always have (see other site). Even though I remember not being particularly creative as a kid (I was a witch a lot), it did not make me want to trick or treat less. And I remember my dad having a fondness for our candy.

So it's safe to say I got all this from somewhere right? I mean, you don't just MAGICALLY love Halloween. Nope, I have dorks for parents. They love Halloween. I think Mom loves the decor, but my Dad loves to get dressed up too. More times than i can count, he got dressed up for youth events while I was in high school. He even won a drag contest. Did I mention my dad was a minister? Methodist. And he loves to scare children on Halloween.  Why I don't remember ever going trick or treating with him, I have no idea. Maybe he was at home scaring children so that he got to keep all the candy (nice TRICK huh?).

My Mom is about the biggest practical joker you can find. My sister tries, but she can't take what she intends to dish. So Mom is perfectly find with Dad scaring small children, as long as they aren't TOO small (or girls, typically).

I don't live at home anymore. This just gives me an excuse to have a party for my friends at one point in October and then cart all the decor to my parent's house for actual Halloween (should it fall on a weekend, like it has the last few years). Also, they live practically across the street from a giant pumpkin patch. Score. And by that, I mean score a funnel cake (my one true love!)

Extra bonus, other than getting all scary as the grim reaper (trying to get him to be the zombie preacher from Dead Alive), they don't really dress up. So early in the night, I get dolled up as a kid friendly character, like Tinkerbell,  and then do something more grown up for the meandering the neighborhood, like Starbuck from BSG, who kids will not recognize. I swear, I'm getting Mom dressed up this year! I may let her borrow my Sue Sylvester costume (minus the wig) since she was once a cheerleading coach.

Basically, this site will catalog all the Halloween craziness, starting with pictures of the past all with 2010 dates (because that's when I'm starting this). Hopefully it won't become a haven for bad web..design, like a lot of Halloween sites seem to become (someone tell me if it does!). Afterall, your decor should look old and musty, your website shouldn't!

Enjoy! (Or not, since this is meant to be kind of creepy.)
