Childhood Memory - Halloween Costumes!

We always did scary. Devils and skeltons, Witches and ghosts. As a grown up witches, a hippy, cat many times, a bum... to many to name. I love Halloween! I always decorated the house, caskets and bones, flying ghosts. It was always fun to give candy out and scare the kids then they would laugh.

I loved being dressed as a gypsy.

we did not have tri c or treat when I wasa id but wheI gaveout c ajd I wasGlemda t he good witch from thje Wizardof Oz

We never celebrated halloween, not our tradition here, especially when I was a kid. We do celebrate all saint's day and all soul's day but we never wore costumes at all.

I cannot remember my favorite costume! I know I was a princess, a witch, a singer and a clown.

When we lived in Europe we did not have trick or treating but we had a big party. I do not remember any of the costumes that I wore.

Sadly, I rarely got to go as anything as my parents didn't have money and wouldn't buy me a costume. I usually had to improvise. I was once a ball player, another time a ghost (because I mean a sheet). I know for the school Halloween thing we did I dressed as a clown almost every single year because my sister had costumes for my brother and me that we borrowed specifically for school and then gave them back. I know one year I went as a witch because we borrowed the costume from my mom's friend. I think my parents only ever bought me a costume twice. When I was really little it was Tweety bird I was probably 2 or 3 so I barely remember it but it was the cheap plastic costumes with the crappy mask that you could barely see out of. The other time they bought me a monster mask that I wore. I really go out on Halloween for my son and try to not do traditional with him, except his first Halloween when he was a pumpkin because that was the only costume they had when I bought it that would fit him. He has been a sock monkey, and bugs bunny (I just realized how ironic that is since I went as Tweety lol), he's been a dinosaur, then a couple years ago he started wanting his dad to dress up with him so far they've been a cop and robber (my son was the cop and he handcuffed his dad lol), and they have been Mario and Luigi (my son being Mario) those are semi traditional but it looked cooler since his costumes matched his dad. This year he wants them to be Tom and Jerry but I can't find cheap enough costumes. They may go as Pikachu and Ash. I haven't decided. I love Halloween.

I went out one year as a Beat Nic... now that is going back a few years lol

When I was really little, my mom always made me, my sister, and then the first of our brothers, Wizard of Oz themed costumes every year. One year I was Dorothy, another year I was the Wicked Witch of the West..but my favorite was the year I was Princess Ozma from "Return to Oz." Then when I got older I put together my own costumes and would be things like a rock star, princess, bride, witch, cat, and one year I was Cyndi Lauper (although people kept asking if I was a hooker that year.)

We don't celebrate Halloween in the Philippines although some businesses are trying to commercialize it. I remember watching movies with "treat or trick" children going around their neighborhood when I was at that age and thought what a wonderful experience they are having and why can't we do that here instead of visiting the cemetery on All Soul's day?

Any pic of that Pocahontas to share? (I am curious!). You are right, witch costume seems to be easy. We always have plenty of different and very pretty witches going around our neighborhood every Halloween.

Halloween always fascinated me. Too bad we don't celebrate it here, the most we do is Halloween themed parties but a small party cannot compete with a full fledged festival in any way.

when I was in my hostel, they conducted halloween competition but I did not participate because of my skin problem.and commonly people dont celebrate halloween here in India.

In my childhood, I used to visit different places with my parents.
