| 2774 | Article | Vaporman87 | Oh I wore my fair share of Ben Cooper costumes (and probably some Collegeville ones as well). I don't recall which unfortunately, but I do remember the feel and smell of those vinyl costumes and the uncomfortable feel of those plastic masks. Often my face would be pouring sweat, as those masks made it impossible to vent the condensation from your breathing. Then the rubber band would get caught in your hair and that would get really uncomfortable. I still love them though. The bacteria cesspools that we used for bobbing for apples games was something I never thought about. As a kid, it never even crossed my mind that 50 people had put their faces in there before me. Now, of course, it makes me sick just thinking about it. LOL And yes, the time frames that we do trick or treating at now seem absurd. It is barely dark by the time my kids are done (about 7:00 PM) and that really detracts from the experience. I do make sure to tag alone with my kids these days, even though I was free to roam our neighborhood with no parental supervision in my youth. mainly because their is a major road cutting through the houses, and because it's just more dangerous for kids these days. But we do get in on the act by costuming ourselves. Fun article slayer, thanks! | Oct 05, 2015 |  | |
| 2775 | Article | Vaporman87 | Great list Ben. I'm really loving the title and closing images! Great selection of candy here, though I would probably have put Whatchamacallit at the top of mine. Zero bars would also be in there, but I wouldn't often get those as they didn't come in "fun" size. | Benjanime's Top Ten Halloween Candies | Oct 05, 2015 | |
| 2783 | Article | Vaporman87 | Video? I never doubted your true believer status NLogan. Your entry in last year's contest pretty well cemented that as fact. | The Unsung Heroes of Halloween | Oct 06, 2015 | |
| 2785 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ahhh... no need. I just stick a little notation in there with a warning, and it's all good. | The Unsung Heroes of Halloween | Oct 06, 2015 | |
| 2793 | Article | Vaporman87 | I forgot to mention Starburst. Especially strawberry or orange (NO lemon or cherry please!!!). | Benjanime's Top Ten Halloween Candies | Oct 07, 2015 | |
| 2795 | Article | Vaporman87 | I have to admit, 1987, 1988, and 1989 were probably my favorite years ever as a kid. Just such great times. The country was riding high on a great economy... people just saw life with renewed optimism. And there was so much great pop culture madness being created at that time. I would have been 14 years old (those numbers are reversed now :( ) and life was just so full of fun and adventure. I had gone through some difficult things by then (the divorce of my parents being the biggest issue) but I also had new and important family added to my life (my step-brother Bry being the most important - I just call him my brother). Lots of great movies in '88 for sure. Too many great ones to chose from, and then in '89... wow! That year is probably the greatest year ever to be a theater goer. Great times, my friend. | Horror Films From The Best Year EVER! | Oct 07, 2015 | |
| 2796 | Article | Vaporman87 | Here's something sorely lacking from our seasonal trips down memory lane here... something on the aroma of it all. I too love the smell of Fall. The air is crisp and cool, which makes the smells all the more potent. I love that smell. Typically it's laced with the burning of wood in fireplaces around here, and something about that really strikes a chord with me. I think maybe it's because we often used the fireplace in the family room of my old childhood home, and when we did it was followed by all the festive and fun things about the season. | The Smell of Fall | Oct 07, 2015 | |
| 2800 | Article | Vaporman87 | Hmmm, come to think of it... I don't think I'VE ever eaten a Cow Tail either. | Benjanime's Top Ten Halloween Candies | Oct 08, 2015 | |
| 2802 | Article | Vaporman87 | What an awesome read! Ha! I loved every bit of this. Talk about having to live with the consequences of your actions... you big bully! Nah, I'm not innocent of picking on my little brother. I did that quite a bit, and have video evidence of it on VHS tapes. But I don't think I ever frightened him to death like this. That's just cruel man! But it REALLY works with the last name being Myers. So perfect. | The Michael Myers Connection | Oct 08, 2015 | |
| 2803 | Article | Vaporman87 | What a perfectly memorable final Halloween to experience. Such a great story. I literally laughed out loud here in the office at these lines: "And by himself I mean he was very loud, overly active, and incredibly annoying. My mysterious night of fear was now downgraded to one bad *ss Michael Myers and his annoying high school sidekick." So now you've made ME look like a fool laughing at YOU and your friend looking like fools. Ah well, it was worth it. I would have been fumbling all over myself trying to apologize for making those kids cry. Poor things. Thankfully the parents were very understanding. | My Final Halloween | Oct 08, 2015 | |
