I ended up having to explain my newsie costume to the kids. One of the kids in my class was Link--he's the kid with big behavior problems. When he refused to use his work, I marched up to his desk with a triangular piece of construction paper and said, "ONLY BY COMPLETING YOUR JOURNAL ASSIGNMENT WILL YOU BE WORTHY OF THIS PIECE OF THE TRIFORCE." I've never seen him work so hard. I owe him a second piece of the Triforce Monday for working twice as hard as everyone else to clean up his work area. 
I carved a pumpkin for the first time! My little sister wanted to have one and she absolutely loved it! It was just the classic jagged smiley mouth and angry eyes kind, and I don't feel I can attempt anything more complex than that...
Handed out candy from the prisoner transport van. Was telling folks, with my strobes going "I guarantee that I have the brightest porch lights out here." I also warned them severely about performing "tricks," as I had room enough for them.
Didn't help that one of the cages had a blood smear in it from a prisoner with a scuffed-up knee. *wry grin*

Up to 36 here, which is a record for us. Last year it was 17, year before was 4. Probably due to the milder weather.
Wee--some pics. I'll have more later. I went with my friends Maggie, Vivan and Yao Yao and man did we have some fun. There was about 2,000 or so people there.

My friends and I had a potluck with Tandori chicken, Scalloped potatoes, banana bread, cupcakes and pumpkin pie all made from scratch. We carved 5 pumpkins and sat around watching The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror 1-10.
Only 6 of us dressed up, and 4 of us just wore the same costumes as last year.
Had way more kids come by than expected. I was so excited.
Had a couple of punk teens not even wearing costumes who all claimed to be dressed as Justin Beiber for halloween. I gave them each one piece of candy so that they'd go away and not egg my house. Most kids got away from here with a good haul though.
Two little kids actually left us a thank you card for the candy. Its adorable. I hung it up on the fridge.

Had no time for silver mist so I was a variation of Harley Quinn instead. It looked okay, I did alright on the face paint 
Awesome!
You know what's sad? Kids these days don't know what a Ghostbuster is. Or Beetlejuice.
You're right. Someone should reboot those franchises.

Damn kids smashed all our jack-o-lanterns! Only house on the street whose pumpkins got smashed, too! I bet it was those damn Justin Bieber kids.

Oh god, I certainly didn't mean to imply that. Just, aren't these kids' parents teaching them ANYTHING?! (Also, it makes me feel old, and I'm not even 24. I shouldn't have to feel old yet dammit)

Iron, If you have a pic of you alone, in costume... put that on your profile and state somewhere that the Hammer is in your pants.
My 2 year old went as the attached...

I had so much fun last night (despite having to get up at 4 am to drive to a 7am conference in New Orleans). I scared sooo many kids (we had a lot--I ran out of candy). I decorated my front porch and made homemade Go Away signs. I usually dress as Frankenstein's monster, but last night I just put on a Jason mask and really played the character. I never said a word. I just stood there with hunched shoulders, standing there waiting. I had kids run away, and parents get creeped out. I had my picture taken so many times. Oh!, and I put my and my wife's laptops in the upstairs windows with this video on them: on a loop so that it looked like the house was looking out.
Here's a photo of my kids and my friends' kids. You can see the eye in the upper window, but it's not all that cool yet because the sun is still up a little.

No no no, Will Ferrell will be Egon in the new Ghostbusters. With Jonah Hill as Ray, Seth Rogan as Venkman, and Will Smith as Winston.

With Tinkerbell's wand and a close-up. My first time with the paint and I had no idea what I was doing.
Oh, and matching nails:

Last rumours of the script for Ghostbusters 3 seemed to indicate this is the case.
I added your house's address to the sex offender's registry under the name "Pedro Bear".
You're welcome.
