FourQ -> Is ANYTHING fair game at Halloween? (1/6/2009 10:05:05 AM)
A thread in Humour has inspired a thought. What's the worst thing you'd done to the local trick or treaters at Halloween? Should you be sensible? Do you dress up in your regalia with the whips and cuffs and scare the bejesus out of the local ASBO's? Is anything fair game? It's Halloween after all! Personally, I've answered the door with a biker's skull face mask in a black helmet with the black sun visor down, a pick axe in one hand and a chainsaw in the other, proceeding to chase my ex partner's college friends with the chainsaw (electric and unplugged) around the garden. Then chased them up and down the driveway on my motorbike. I've also started up the chainsaw to the local teenagers. They had the nerve to trick or treat me half an hour after pelting stoney snowballs off the window. On a lighter note, I've set the home automation lights to dance when people press the doorbell.

[:)] Take the chain off of the saw and chase 'em with the running saw. Bet they don't notice the chain is missing. [:D]

I luuuuurv halloween! We run one of the bigger haunted houses in Atlanta.... so much fun to be had there. Scaring the pants off of someone is entirely acceptable. We've had people pee their pants, cry, vomit.... body fluids everywhere! What a mess, but worth the clean up. It's also enjoyable when they find an emergency exit and run off... fair game for any 'monster' that sees them to chase them all the way out of the parking lot. Chainsaws are great without the chain... if it's a cheapy you can spin it on the ground... sparks everywhere!

Sigh...I scared the Jehovah Witness's off my doorstep for a year. We were getting ready for a Halloween party the next day. The living room was decked out as a demonic nightclub including red tube lighting, skulls with candles, swords and blades everywhere, fog machine and an oak and slate octagonal table with a lift out bowl filled with floating wax body parts (eyes, fingers, noses) in a blood red liquid and dry ice. This was a dry run for the next night to make sure everything was functioning right. I had just finished trying on my costume when they rang the doorbell and I opened the door without thinking about how I or the house looked. There stood Mr and Ms Young Adult White-bread, pamphlets in hand with the usual "We would like to talk with you about..." and started to step inside "No thank you I am perfectly happy with my religion" , they saw the house decor, blinked, turned pale and backed away so quickly I thought they were going to end up in the Holly bushes... It was a whole year before they started knocking on the door again...always thought they snuck back and put a mark on the mailbox to indicate giving our house a wide berth..Evil Inside. poenkitten [sm=pushed.gif]

I have a similar story with religious evangelists. In summer, it's quite hot and humid here, so we tend to sleep the way the great goddess made us. One morning, the dogs were being dogs, and in my still-asleep state, I figured they just wanted out. So... I got up, staggered door-ward (clad in ankle and wrist cuffs, and my own long hair) and opened the door without thinking, and certainly without opening my eyes all the way. Well... there were two business-suited young gentlemen on the step, holy books in hand. The dogs, one of whom is a "little biddy black puppy" who weighs 87 pounds, knocked one off the step, whilst the other stared at me in obvious consternation. The little fellows never got farther than, "Good morning, we'd --- " and then both turned and ran for their car. Poor things... I wonder, was it a naked plump chick in cuffs that got them, or the insane trio of canines? Either way, that was 14 years ago, and we have never since had evangelists knock at the farmhouse door.

[8\|] We had a couple religious types come protest at our haunted house, complete with bullhorns and pamplets. The customers started throwing rocks, (eep! lawsuits are bad) but they wouldn't leave until we ran outside with a camera. >.>
