    Halloween


    Celebrate Halloween or any other sort of fall festival? What are your favorite Halloween traditions or myths? Any ghost stories to share? What are the best Halloween themed films you can think of? Trick or Treating, or no?

    Also, do you believe in the supernatural, or in any sort of spiritual or occult practices associated with Halloween?

    • Australian's are lame and don't really celebrate Halloween. There's the occasional party that gets thrown, but none of this trick or treating stuff. So unfair.

    HAHAHA! I forgot that film existed. Man, I use to watch that every Halloween, but I think I am a bit too old for it now! xD

    I won't be celebrating Halloween, but I guess I could by watching some of my favourite horror films! >:3​

    • Halloween is the best holiday. I live kinda near a graveyard and I'm tempted to go there on the 31st, but I know they're probably going to keep a lookout for kids since it's already known to be a place where highschoolers go to drink while skipping class.

    Good parties. Everyone always has the best parties around Halloween. Creepy decorations, cool music, gross-themed food.

    Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios! :D Halloween-themed Disneyland.

    This is such a cool holiday. <3

    Hocus Pocus is pretty much the best Halloween movie ever.

    • Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.​

    Yeah, I celebrate Halloween and as for the occult, I am a Thelemite so I practice all sorts of occult practices... none around Halloween though my next initiation in O.T.O. and my baptism/confirmation in Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica is happening just a few days before (we were trying to get the initiator here locally for Halloween initiations too, but we couldn't do it).

    Though Midnight Resh sounds like a load of fun on Halloween. ^_^

    • In New Jersey, we have this magazine called "Weird Jersey" (I heard there might be versions for other states now, not sure). It's filled with ghost stories and urban myths by people who send in letters, and pictures of just...odd/weird attractions in our state. I don't know how to explain it well. But a lot of the times, the writers will visit a "haunted" place and write an article about it as well as take bunches of pictures.

    I don't believe in the paranormal...but some of the stuff still creeps me out. One of my favorite things to do around Halloween is, which is quite popular around here, is to go to a certain street at night and park at the bottom (it's a steep hill). If you turn off your lights, you start to roll backwards *uphill*. No joke. It's supposedly the ghost of the farmer who owned the land beside the road and he doesn't like people being there.

    • Speaking of haunted places, one of these days I'm going to take the Halloween tour of the Winchester Mystery House, that crazy place that has stairs leading to nowhere and doors that open to nothing.

    At least in Jersey you have cool spooky places to go to. Camping trip in the Pine Barrens with the Jersey Devil! >:D

    I wonder what O.T.O. bodies are going to be performing Liber XV on Halloween...

    That's a pretty creepy place if you've seen the inside and know the background of the Winchester family. Being haunted by the millions of people killed by Winchester rifles seems like a pretty cool horror movie to me. And of the course the stairways that lead to walls and the hidden doors to nowhere. Pretty cool stuff.

    Oh, I think I know what you're talking about! My dad had a book called "Weird NJ" and I'd always go straight to the paranormal section and read that because I love paranormal things, even if they do frighten me a bit afterward. There's something called the Devil's Tree somewhere in north Jersey, I believe? I've read little stories of weird things happening to people when they go there. I guess the tree is haunted the souls of slaves, if I recall correctly. It's pretty crazy, and if my friends ever come out here to visit, we plan on going to that tree.
