Okay, this one isn’t spooky, but it’s my favorite Halloween memory. But, you probably will have to draw a new name even if you pick me because people will think it is rigged! Hahaha. Anyway, I never used to really like Halloween, nor do I to this day, but I did have one really fun Halloween with my best friend in college where we were trying to dress up as Charlie’s Angels, but didn’t have a third angel to join the fun. And we were having trouble finding some good costumes, sooooo, instead we invented our own costume and were super hot Galaxy Girls! So sexy, we must have come from another planet! Thanks for being part of my favorite Halloween. Love you hun.
Aaah…Grade twelve…Halloween….A group of us were out driving around when we passed a house with the weirdest window display…..a headless doll. Backlit, and no lights on in the house anywhere else.
We kept driving by (we’d had several beverages of the alcholic sort!) wondering if we were seeing things or not. Even as teenagers we thought that was a wee bit bizarre….so on about our 19th turn around the block, we slowed right down and one of my friends got out of the car and ran (snuck) across the lawn to peer in the window. I was right behind him … when the curtains were RIPPED OPEN and a HUGE SPOTLIGHT was shining on us.
I darn near crapped my pants right there. Screamed like a wounded banshee. I’m sure I ran like 3 miles past the car in under 10 seconds…..I still get heart palpitations just thinkinb about it. I went home and actually started crying it shook me so badly! LOL!!
We went back the next week and there was a sign on the front lawn…..”Sorry we scared you….but Happy Halloween, folks!”
🙂
On my 13th Halloween we messed around with the Ouja board for the first time. It was such a freaky experience especially at that age!
what the heck…i am always a day behind!! Oh well, I will share my memory with you though!! I dont think this is a spookiest tale, but one i love and remember! I would have to think back to the days when we would decorate our college suite door…the girls…and damien!! hehehehe we always had fun being silly…and going to Athens when we won! xoxoxo Jos
The spookiest thing that ever happened to me on Halloween was more sad than spooky….
After a long, long night of trick-or-treating, my pillow case of candy was stolen by a mean boy who rode by on a bike and snatched it out of my hands!
So, I was a heart broken little girl with no candy. Plus, it was my mom’s best pillow case that she didn’t want me to take in the first place!!!
Ok, well, mine is a ctually really scary. My sister and I were out trick or treating. I was 9 she was 5. it began to storm and most of the kids went home, but we decided we would work our way back to our house and finish the last 15 houses or so. We were about 8 houses down, when the lightning got really close and the thunder was frightningly loud. My mom was standing on the sidewalk in front of our house shouting for us to run home, We started running, it was so windy my sister had a hard time running and I was ahead of my sister a bit.A huge bolt of lightning came down and hit the pole a couple feet from where my sister was. She screamed and I had to go back for her. The soles of her running shoes had melted and were black. My mom and dad had to take her to the hospital to be checked out. Everything was fine but to this day we won’t go out on halloween when there is lightning. Thunderstorms scare me to this day.
I have had a blast reading other stories. Great idea! And thanks for being interested!
My scariest Halloween (and I hate to admit this), but I was an adult and my friends and husband talked me into going to a haunted house attraction. I was very reluctant, but I agreed. Bad mistake!!!! We entered, and I had my husband by the arm….I ended up digging my fingernails into his arm! They had spiders and webs hanging from the ceiling and it was pitch black so you couldn’t see anything. People would jump out at you and touch you…I was so FREAKED OUT! Then they put us in a room that was black and white checks, and Jason was in there in his hockey mask and huge bloody knife chasing people around. We couldn’t find the exit and again…I was FREAKING OUT! We saw a little kid duck through a black curtain..I practically ran the kid over trying to get through that curtain. Seriously…I was so scared I wanted to just sit down in the middle of the walkway and cry! Of course they noticed how scared I was, so they kept messing with me. Not Good!!! I will NEVER go to another haunted house…just not for me. I made a total fool of myself. That was my scariest Halloween!
My spookiest Halloween memory, would have to be the haunted houses we used to go to as kids. One being in the basement of a very old church hall. There was always a musty smell in that basement, the floors above you would creak from the people walking around upstairs. They would take you through the darkness with people popping out at you, creepy noises playing, and then there was always the part where you had to stick your hands in bowls of “brains, eyes, etc.” Nice slimy food products to creep you out even more.
Funny thing is though we always went back the next year for more!!
Happy Halloween! I am searching around for blogs & I came across yours from Splitcoast…great Blog! My Halloween story for tonight is pandemonium (?) My kids were wired before they even have sugar…we live in Calgary, AB it’s cold & snowy…my 3 year old son was a frog…nice warm costume…layered underneath some clothes & than I can’t get him out the door because he won’t put his mits & touque on…crazy kid. My 6 1/2 year old daughter went as Tinkerbell…not a good idea here…we had to layer clothes underneath so that you could see her clothes…crazy & before we left she started getting herself ready…she came downstairs with layered clothing alright…she looked like she had muscles…it was priceless…never laughed so hard in my life! Well that’s my long winded story.
creepiest halloween memory?
It didn’t happen to me personally, but it was that year when someone put razor blades in an apple that was given out? And we all had to get our candy checked before eating it. I think that was the end of an era!
A neighbor and his wife slipped in our house and hid in our living room and no one heard them come in as they didn’t ring the doorbell. (My sisters and I were upstairs getting ready to go out trick or treating). When we came down the staircase they jumped out from behind the furniture and scared the you know what out of the three of us. We knew it wasn’t our parents and we were SO SO scared!! The “secret” intruders were dressed so scarey and my little sister started crying. They really got us good. My Mom came running up from the basement to find out what the heck was going on and she demanded they tell us who they were (take your masks off she kept screaming) or “I’ll call the the police.” My dad was in New York on business (our protector) and it was really scarey. Its so funny now to think of that nite. I was a pirate that year and my two younger sisters were dressed as Raggedy Ann and Andy. Tami
My spookiest Halloween memory wasn’t scary for me but my boyfriend at the time. Attending Salem State College you have to go to the haunted houses. He thought I would be scared and he would be the big man and walk up front. Well not half way through he was behind me hinding and screaming. I just had to stop and laugh; my friends and I laughed the whole way back to school. He didn’t find it as funny though
My spookiest Halloween was when my neighbor and I walked the kids around trick or treating. One of the houses on our block designed a haunted yard. there were all kinds of spooky things such as bodies laying amongst the leaves but the spookiest of all was their headless horseman coming through the woods. All of a sudden this horse came galloping through. It scared the bejesus out of me. I screamed and ran. Everyone else had a great laugh on me.
how fun! i wil try to keep it short.
i was at church camp weekend retreat for halloween ( a safer aletrnative, right?) and we were going on a hay ride in the boonies of nc,and the youth leader tells us (a bunch of middle schoolers) this story where this girl thought her dog was licking her hand one night etc etc, but in the end it wasn’t the dog at the foot of her bed! @the same time the hayride stops and people come running out of this house!!!! blagh! i was freaking out, b/c this stuff doesn’t happen @church camp….
the next time the hay wide went around- i got to run out of the house and scare kids! lots of fun!
Hi Jenn and everyone. It’s fun reading your blog.
Don’t know how scarey this is but it was fun. Every year over Halloween (last week of hunting season) our friends go to a hunting camp that they have gone to for about 30 years. We’ve been going about 10 or 12. Perry stays the week, I do weekends. Anyway, our Goddaughter who is now 11 is there. When she was younger they would have her Trick or Treat amongst the trailers/campers there. Now keep in mind that Perry is her sweetie and visa versa. They are very close. But he had this horrid looking wolf head thing he wore with a black cape. He scared the daylights out of that little girl. Even when he took off the mask, as long as he had it she wouldn’t come near him. Funny how they know who someone is but still are afraid. She at 11 now gets to come home Halloween night and Trick or Treat at the school but those years were fun. Sandy
Woah, what an awesome spooky kit! My memory is in college a bunch of us went to see a horror movie…it was my first and last.
I love when I am in an antique store and I see a costume in a box with the cellophane lid. The first thing you see is the mask that we always wore when we were kids. The plastic character with the two little(and I mean little) eye slits. The rubber band part was stapled to the mask and always broke before you left the house. You slipped the costume on over your clothes, but then your mother always made you wear a coat. These costumes would never pass inspection in this day and age, but they bring back fond memories of trick or treating with my mom or dad.
One of my favorite Halloween memories would have to be from a wonderful little gift shop I used to work at and everyone dressed up as characters from the Wizard of Oz! Dorothy was there and the scarecrow and that Glinda gal was always so creative and so much fun to work with! :o)
Happy Halloween to you and love your spoooky box! (I know it’s not a scary story but such good memories!)
My favorite spooky Halloween memory is going to Salem on Halloween with my then boyfriend/now husband and seeing Laura Cabot, the HEAD WITCH!
sadly, this story is not spooky, but just shows how easily spooked i am. years ago, i was on the ride haunted mansion (how a propos, right?) at disneyland. so you’re in this little car riding along and at the end, they have a series of three mirrors so you can see yourself and a projection image of some ghosts. there’s also some clever thing they say about ghosts hitching a ride with you. so anyway, i’m fine, but then a ghost reaches in and touches me. i FLIPPED OUT! screaming and jumped out of the car. which i’m not allowed to do – i think i scared the poor worker / ghost too. so anyway, it really just shows how dorky i am, but there you go.
Hey Jenn,
My Halloween memory is spooky in a weird sort of way.
When I was five years old, I went as Miss America for Halloween. (Yes, they actually made a Miss America costume back then.) The costume was a white dress with a sash stating, “Miss America” in sparkly blue with blue trim on the edges of the sash. And the crowning touch (no pun intended) was the mask/crown. It was one of those hard plastic masks with the elastic that fits around your head, with eye cut outs, you know? The ‘hair’ on the mask was hard plastic, and in the style of a blonde marlo thomas “That Girl” style. –Remember this was 1973– There was a slit in the front for a mouth opening that was about a fifth of an inch tall and about an inch wide. There was a crown on top of the plastic hair.
Jenn, this costume alone should qualify me for winning the scariest halloween memory, I know, but there is more.
I was fascinated by the mouth slit in the hard plastic mask. I kept sticking my tongue through it. At one point, I cut my tongue on the hard plastic slit, and my beautiful white sash, dress, and mask now had *real* blood dripping down them.
Back in 1973, I was creeping out the block with my bloody Miss America costume.
My creepiest Halloween was 2005. I was at a Halloween party for the social group I belong to that meets in Dennis. The lady who runs the program had made up poetry about parts of a dead man and had us passing around small brown paper bags full of??? We had to guess. Things in the bags were cold and wet and slimy! Some of the things were supposed to be his hair, his ears, his eyeballs, his teeth, his tongue and intestines even! It was kind of gross. His hair was doll hair, his ears were dried apricots, his eyeballs were green grapes, his teeth were kernals of corn, his tongue was a slab of spam and his intestines were cooked spaghetti. It was funny and memorable…
Happy Halloween from Wendy
My spookiest Halloween memory is from junior high. It isn’t that spooky, but I frighten quite easily! LOL! We were having a girls only halloween party/sleepover at a friend’s house. Of course all of the boys found out and tried to play tricks on us most of the evening, and of course the girl’s home was in the middle of the woods with very few houses around! The worst for me was when we’d be watching the scary movies they’d end up by the house windows trying to scare us! Lots of noises and things that go bump in the night! Why is the dark so scary sometimes!?!?
I hope you have a very Happy Halloween Jenn!
i almost forgot…
my other favorite halloween memory is dressing up like ali edwards and having my rediculous photo (and some video footage) shown to an entire convention of scrapbookers… and the entire QVC watching community.
oh, and now similar photos are featured in an internationally published major scrapbooking idea book. ::sweet::
rock on,

SO embarrassing…. in the third grade i went to a sleep-over halloween party with about 10 other girls. we went to a “haunted house” that was being put on at a local real estate company. (i was so cute, dressed as a clown with my entire face painted 🙂 not the bravest little monster, i was nervous about the whole haunted house idea. i made it fine through the first level of the building, but when i got to the stairway, Freddy Kreuger himself – the *real* thing 😉 was there, taunting me and scaring the cr@p out of me. i froze in my spot. screaming. wouldn’t move. wouldn’t let anyone around me. HYSTERICAL. even poor freddy felt bad and took off his mask and tried to tell me it was ok, it was only a mask. he tried to come down the stairs towards me and help me, I screamed BLOODY MURDER. people behind me are now very impatient and yelling for their own reasons. i was NOT moving. little clown girl, face paint smeared and running all over her cosume. finally, i am rescued bu a big man in a police “costume”. he scoops me up in his arms and carries me outside. i am so upset that i don’t even have time to feel ebarrassed infront of my friends and half the town. The nice man in the police “costume” now has clown-face all over his shoulder. nice. (he had an amazing real-looking police car to go with his “costume”, isn’t that neat!!??) by the time we got back top my friend’s house, i’d let a little bit of the embarrassment set in, but the girls (amazingly) were all nice about it. we would up trick-or-treating in her neighborhood and stayed up all night eating candy and getting sick.
p.s. i have never, nor will ever, watch a friday the 13th movie. EVER.
(just thought you should know)
::trick or treat::

Whoohooo! Happy Halloween!!!
My Spooky Halloween story happened in the woods of Hampden,MA I was fourteen and had gone out with some friends to a Halloween Party. The driveway for the house was long and wound through the woods. We were asked to park at the top of the drive and walk down to the house. It was pitch black with no moon that night. We started through the dark in a group of five girls. Half-way to the house we started to hear scuffling in the woods and strange noises. That was enough to start a girl stampede to the house! Then a pumpkin rolled out from the woods, with a huge bloody creature behind it. That was it! Full on run screaming our lungs out to the house!!!It seemed like forever (it was about 2 seconds!), we arrived at the lit house and turned around… it was the hosts father having a great time scaring the s#@t out of the party guests!
I still get shivers! Happy Halloween Jenn!
