2954ArticleoniparThanks! Were the McRobots the ones that transformed? I used to love those. I really just want toys in cereal boxes again. :-p Oct 15, 2015View
2953ArticleVaporman87Epic. lol. Just epic, this. On the down side, it's pretty easy to see why Halloween sucked for you. I mean... pooping your pants... that pretty much seals the deal. But there are just so many reasons here for you to despise Halloween, yet you seem to have made peace with it. Perhaps as time goes on, and you have kids of your own, then Halloween will become what it should have always been for you... a joy.Halloween SucksOct 15, 2015View
2952ArticleVaporman87Okay so, I'm going to be up front and confess that I am pretty sure this is the first article I have read here that brought a little moisture to my eyes. I can't imagine losing a parent at such a young age, then having to face that and the holiday that really brought you both so much joy all at once every year thereafter. That you treat it more like a celebration of those times instead of a time to mourn is honorable and amazing. I can't know what you went through, but I too lost my mother in late October (actually the day after my wedding anniversary). So celebrating our anniversary and mourning the death of my mom are almost inseparable. But in the end both days are really a celebration of love. Love gained and love lost.I was born in love with Halloween. Oct 15, 2015View
2951ArticleVaporman87Both of those places look incredibly cool to visit... the barren spot simply because of it's lore and it's placement in the middle of nowhere, and the house because it just looks incredible. Perfectly preserved for decades, ripe with history just waiting to be found, photographed, and researched. What a trip this had to be. This was a fun read!The Devil's Tramping GroundOct 15, 2015View
2950ArticleVaporman87That's one thing I wanted to avoid when choosing a costume for trick or treating... I didn't want to be predictable. I wanted to keep people guessing as to what I would be each year.Gwen Costume 2000Oct 15, 2015View
2949ArticlekidcoffeeAs a kid I hated those cursed McDonalds trick or treat buckets as I felt I was gypped an actual toy, but looking back now those were super cool. In fact I still have my original collection somewhere in my house gathering dust. I really should give them a proper display. As for the McNugget monsters, those I loved. Probably my second favorite McDonald's toy of all time with the first being the McRobots. Both of which have caused me a lot of wasted time on Ebay trying to buy back a piece of my childhood. Great article. It brought back a lot of fantastic memories.Halloween Promotional Items of the 80s and 90sOct 15, 2015View
2947ArticleVaporman87That's a neat story DirtyD. That had to be a great tour to take. To see all those strange and seemingly senseless features in the house, that has to be very cool.Searching for a Real Haunted HouseOct 15, 2015View
2946ArticleoniparMost of those I've never heard of, but there are a couple there that I used to get and haven't thought about in YEARS! I actually used to get lemon heads all the time from my ice cream truck, and occasionally would get the melon one and the apple one. They were definitely rarer. I'm not sure I ever had the melody pop with a moving stick, but I definitely had whistle pops! 4 Rare Retro CandiesOct 15, 2015View
2945ArticleDirtyD79Great story. 7th grade was the last time I went out trick or treating too. What happened that night was a blizzard. I think me, my brother, and one of our friends were the only kids out that night on the street. Fittingly I dressed up as Sub Zero from Mortal Kombat although wearing a coat kinda threw the whole look off. While we did get a lot of candy that night we ended up paying for it, All three of us ended up getting the flu. After that I just grew out of it. My Final HalloweenOct 15, 2015View
2944ArticleDirtyD79Personally I don't really believe in ghosts but I like hearing the stories around them and seeing supposedly haunted places. Last year my girlfriend and I visited the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, CA and I really enjoyed it. For those who don't know the story goes that while Sarah Winchester was alive she was regularly haunted by the ghosts of everyone who was killed by the rifles her late husband's company made. She constantly did renovations on the house everyday for years. Some say it was to appease the spirits others say it was to confuse them. You'll see stuff like doors and stair cases that lead to nowhere and the whole house just has countless rooms that were added on over the course of time. Strangely, I remember in a picture we had one of the tour guides take of us I saw what looked like an old woman looking through a window at us. I'm thinking it's mostly likely just ruffled curtains but still it seemed pretty freaky. Searching for a Real Haunted HouseOct 15, 2015View
