Title: HALLOWEEN! Post by: RCMerchant on October 07, 2017, 01:56:19 PM I love Halloween-you can act like a moron all year long-but on Halloween its ok! I remember my first Halloween costume-its was one of the cheap masks that came in a box with a weird smock. I was a skeleton! We ran around kicking pumpkin heads! OH! this IS Karloff's voice! http://youtu.be/89sL4R50Z6E (http://youtu.be/89sL4R50Z6E) Title: Re: HALLOWEEN!

Post by: Chainsawmidget on October 07, 2017, 06:57:50 PM I can't remember what my first costume was.
I do remember a few different ones I had when I waas young. I can't recall what order they were in though. One of my costume was Captain America, that I insisted on having a stary cape with. There was what I considered a swamp monster. It was a rubber mask of some green skinned bald monster, rubber frankenstein gloves, camouflage clothes, and a plastic executioners axe. Also, when Batman (the 89 version) came out I went as him that year in a costume my mom made for me. I also remember a rubber skull mask and a mom-made skeleton outfit, but that may have belonged to my brother not me. Oh, and Egon from the Real Ghostbusters. Title: Re: HALLOWEEN! Post by: BoyScoutKevin on October 08, 2017, 03:56:55 PM I was 5, and my Halloween costume was that of a rabbit. That is the 1st Halloween costume that I remember.
Retailers love Halloween, too, as I understand Halloween is the biggest retail season for them next to Christmas. Title: Re: HALLOWEEN! Post by: AlbertMond on October 08, 2017, 06:31:00 PM I've been making Halloween CD-Rs erry year. Good music.
