Spooktacular Saturday 6

1.) Are you going to be dressing up this year? If so tell us what your costume plans are!
I'm not wearing a costume but I am wearing a orange Halloween T-shirt, black skirt, and black and white tights.

The tights

2.) What's your favorite costume that you've ever wore for Halloween?
It has to be the hooker outfit in college. Don't judge me, it was fun.

Me in all my hooker glory and A., my co-hooker, who I am editing to protect her not-so-innocence.

3.) Trick or Treat! Are you into scaring people and kids on or around Halloween with tricks, ghost stories etc?
I love ghost stories but I'm not telling any to my kids. I like sleeping through the night too much.

4.) What is your dream costume idea? Money is no object, you can spend thousands of dollars on this costume if you want to. Feel free to show us pics, we're voyeuristic like that.
I love dressing up. I think I like an authentic Queen of Hearts costume.

5.) Is Halloween really as much fun as an adult as it was for you as a child? Has it lost any of it's mystique or whimsy to you over the years?
I loved Halloween in college. We always had the best parties to go to. Now I love seeing the joy in the kids.

6.) Halloween traditions -- tell us all about yours, what are your favorites?
We always watch "Its the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" We also go trick or treating with the same friends in their neighborhood.

7.) What movies did you watch when you were younger around Halloween time that you still love to watch around Halloween time today?
See the above answer.

8.) When carving pumpkins do you use the stencils in the carving kits, or do you go all out with original designs etc?
Usually we go free hand but we have tried the stencils. I think I prefer an old school pumpkin.

9.) What's your favorite Halloween Candy? Has it changed since you were little?
Candy Corn! I have a serious addiction. My waist line is going to be glad to see it disappear soon. I loved it as a kid too.

10.) What's the scariest movie ever made, in your opinion?
I don't watch a lot of scary movies. I'm a bit of a wimp. I loved the Blair Witch Project. The paranormal movies scare the bejesus out of me too.

11.) As far as Halloween Costumes go do you buy store bought costumes, or do you prefer to make your own? What is your Halloween Costume style -- are you a sexy costume kinda girl or do you like the classic scary/gory/traditional costumes better?
I wore the sexy costumes before I had the kids. Now I tend to wear cute and non-scary costumes.

12.) Finish this sentence: Halloween wouldn't be the same to me without ________________________!
Candy Corn!


13.) What movies are on your Top Five Classic Halloween/Horror Films Of All Times list?
The Exorcist, Poltergeist, The Sixth Sense, The Shining, and The Blair Witch Project.

Bonus Question:

What is your Zombie Apocalypse Contingency Plan? Do you know how you would try to survive the Zombie Apocalypse? (answering the bonus question will get you an extra entry into any of my Halloween Themed Giveaways for my Mommys)

Well everyone know you must cut the zombies' heads off. I will get my chain saw, machete, and shotgun loaded and head to my truck. While the weapons are good for decapitating, running them over with a truck is also very effective. After clearing the road of zombies, I will head north to our friends ski/hunting cabin. The house is stocked with hunting guns and liquor. So if the zombies can't be defeated, at least I can have a couple drinks before I go.
