Its not such a big thing here.
Im going to enjoy the holiday but I wont dress up, I dont use to celebrate pagan celebrations of crops.

Fuck that, this is the glorious American celebration of candy producers profits.

The only holiday worth celebrating, is Halloween. With everything else (at least here in the US,) it's religious things like Xmas(etc.), Thanksgiving, Easter, etc.

I'm probably going to be chaperoning my teenage cousins around because my aunt doesn't trust them by themselves. Probably because she doesn't know we got drunk as fuck last year I was chaperoning them :laugh:

Depending on how I feel after that I'll probably go to a party afterwards and if it's a costume party thing I'll dress up like a girl. I'm a damn sexy girl, I've literally turned heads :lol:

[Public Domain]

I might go as a 'revolutionary' because I don't actually have a costume.

I have a USSR flag and a military camo jacket. And a russian-looking winter cap with a chinese red star on it. Maybe a poorly designed Russian Revolutionary?

I'm far too old to trick or treat, I'll just be walking around as my little sister does the trick or treating lol

[Nox]

I'll just get me mum or dad to buy me a bag of sweets.

[TheGodlessUtopian]

I have a soviet flag and a Che Guevara T-shirt....I might go as Communist Man! :D

[kitsune]

Halloween is a great excuse to dress up and have a party. Not that anyone needs much of an excuse for that, but it's nice to have a theme. And who doesn't love ghosts and goblins and things that go bump in the night?

[GPDP]

I dressed up as The 1%, and got in a joke shouting match with a couple of 99 percenters. All in all, it was a fun night.

All Hollows eve is not based in any religion whatsoever;)
Its an holiday tough so I like it.
Also we have a kind of mardi gras over here.

Hey comrades, here's my costume:

Edit: removed picture -- Sentinel

(click for larger image)

Bottle of Smirnoff (sadly empty) for obvious comical effect.

Historical inaccuracy? No shit...

I don't even support the Soviet Union, but I am going to troll sooooo hard to anyone who dares strike a conversation with me. I'll be a downright Stalinist asshole, it'll be beautiful.

Happy Halloween comrades!

[Sentinel]

Sorry, but you aren't allowed to post pictures of yourself on the forums.

As for Halloween, I did go to a party but it had no costumes and consisted of me and 3 other people playing trivial pursuit and drinking mint schnapps and beer. I'm kind of opposed to the celebration of Halloween here as it's so purely and openly commercial, and clearly imported by the capitalists.

For instance we already have a day when kids are supposed to dress up as witches and go from door to door asking for candy every year -- easter. So now with Halloween we have two..

[Public Domain]

Damn! That rule somewhat slipped my mind having never accidentally broken it before :( I get it though, and kinda would prefer, I suppose, to not have a graphic of myself linked to this account.. Still though I kinda want to show off the damn costume lol

In Sweden kids go door to door asking for candy on Easter? Hmm. Here (Canada at least) kids just stay at home and eat chocolate eggs that apparently came from rabbits.

[00000000000]

I'll be avoiding the lil fuckers ringing my bell and wanting free sweets for dressing up.. my g/f can deal with them. She'll also be dressing our baby boy as a pumpkin :(

[MustCrushCapitalism]

You gotta save him from this. Get an ushanka and an AK and he can be awesome.

[Pirate Utopian]

If I celebrated Halloween I'd go with either Ryan Gosling as the driver from Drive, Ghaddafi or Charlie Sheen.

[Leonid Brozhnev]

If anybody knocks on my door tonight i'm kicking them down the stairs...

Or they can have some instant mash potato flakes, it's all i have food wise./..

[El Louton]

Halloween is a product of Capitalism and simply increases the profit of sweet companies but exploits the workers of the company... So I am against Halloween...

Day of the Dead is a better alternative...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead

[Pirate Utopian]

Except of course for the fact that halloween is older than capitalism.

[El Louton]

But Trick or Treating isn't.... and Capitalism has taken over Halloween, which is now another commercial selling point not a celebration.

[Scarlet Fever]

I'm dressed as Sigmund Freud :cool:

[Tablo]

I'm not dressing up at all. :crying:

I'm too sick to go partying anyway.

[The Stalinator]

I'm going as Hunter S. Thompson. It's going to look sort of weird because I'm a 14-year-old girl, not a 68-year-old man.

[Fawkes]

Friday night I went as Hulk Hogan (i.e. wore an american flag speedo, t-shirt torn down the middle, mustache made from toilet paper, bandana, and sunglasses). Let's just say it's amazing what 35 degree weather will do to your already unimpressive bulge.

Saturday and tonight (I'm a d bag for anyone that didn't get it):

Silly commie, it's not a costume if you always wear it..:p

Oh come on.. It's just dressing up. I'm not going trick or treating, I'd probably get more stares than candy anyway..

You must be a real joy to know. Halloween is Grinch night it seems.

I don't mind the dressing up at all, but the trick bit gets taken tooooo far in Britain: Eggs and shit through the letter box.

[Tim Finnegan]

I'm going as "Oh, is it Halloween? I thoght that was yesterday. I'm going to go and eat noodles now." :D

You're confusing "capitalism" with "consumerism". Capitalism is the fundamental social relations in which all culture is necessarilly embedded; it doesn't need to "take over" anything, because it already underlies everything.

[El Louton]

Surely Consumerism is a product of Capitalism though?

[ColonelCossack]

Didn't do it this year- might be zombie Stalin next year. :p

[Tim Finnegan]

Surely Consumerism is a product of Capitalism though?
More or less, sure, but so what? All that means is that the position of the celebration within capitalist society has been altered, not that it previously existed in some bubble of non-capitalist isolation that recently popped.

[La Comédie Noire]

I'll be passing out candy to the little ones, if there are any, I'm on the East coast and we got hit by a cluster fuck of a snow storm that downed power lines and tree branches.

[Le Socialiste]

No dressing up for me, just about everyone I know is either out of town or off at college (I don't get to go until January). :crying:

So, it's basically just work and an evening of horror flicks. Tonight I'm watching all the Scream movies back to back. :thumbup1:

[A Revolutionary Tool]

So I'm dressing up as a gangster. Raider sweater, black bandana, black hat, black pants. It's not really a costume but it's just to walk my cousins around. Thought I might bring my replica Resident Evil airsoft pistol and have some fun with that. I might put up a picture or two when I get dressed.

[kitsune]

I was a witch a couple days ago, and a vampire earlier in the week. Right now I'm a pirate. Sort of. This outfit is a little impractical for actual swashbuckling. More like pirate casual. The sort of thing a pirate might wear to the club.

[Искра]

In Croatia we don't put mask on Halloween. Actually we don’t “celebrate” that, because Catholic Church is against praising witches and spans of Satan. We put mask in February when we have carnival. I used to mask for carnival when I was little kid. I don’t see why are you people making such a fuss of “Halloween being capitalism”?! Whole world is capitalist and if people want to have fun – let them do it! I’m not a big fan of Halloween, to me it’s stupid... but my sister loves it. Also, I’m not a big fan of carnivals either... still let the people have fun. I’ll go on a ska gig and dance till morning...


Btw. I was a pirate when I was a kid. And I had real old-school pistol (since my grandfather got it from somewhere). I was really cool.

I'm going to take it you haven't actually celebrated Dia de los Muetos, or actually been in Mexico when it's happening, because you'd realize it's just the same as Halloween when it comes to commercialism/capitalism.

[thriller]

I dressed up as Cokie the Clown! Except orange instead of yellow.

(not me)

[Susurrus]

I dressed as an Adjustment Bureau member.

[tir1944]

You're very beautiful but you must know that we're not allowed to post pictures of ourselves (or other members) here,so you should remove it (edit it out)...

[khlib]

Oops, thanks tir.

I was a young pioneer, but everyone thought I was a Hitler youth/sailor moon :(

[ComradeGrant]

I wore a dress to the school Halloween thingy, and then was Tito for actual halloween.

[Tablo]

Worst Halloween ever. I spent the night studying for an exam and didn't even get to watch a single horror movie. I can't let this happen next year!
