Honestly, I really noticed that the kids stopped coming out for Beggar's Night here in Ohio right after 9/11 and just never picked back up. Now, that could be because there just aren't as many young couples with children in the area now, or it could be be because my area has started to slip economically, but that IS the time frame for when it stopped.

Fade, nice idea with the eye. That would be spooky at night.

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:

Quick Halloween rant: when I was a kid, getting a candy bar was a big deal. I don't mean a full size candy bar, I mean any kind of candy bar. Now I appreciate that people are giving out higher quality stuff now, or at least they are in my neighborhood, but would it kill someone to go a little cheaper?
I guess what I'm saying is that I like root beer barrels, and there were none to steal from the kids candy. This does not sit well.

Most stores don't carry Braq's A&W Rootbeer Barrels anymore. In fact, the only places I can ever find them anymore are in specialty candy shops. If wanna know a place that I KNOW sells them, you can find them at any Anthony-Thomas Candy location in Ohio. Unfortunately, they don't sell them via their website like most of their Buckeye stuff.
Or you can order them online here at Old Time Candy.
I had a lot of fun smiling all creepy-like!
A little of both. I mostly use a small paintbrush and have 4 Sally Hansen pens that I love. The white and black pens work best. White can be annoying at times, sometimes it just absorbs the color underneath it and turns into a lighter shade of that color After a few hours.
A small paintbrush is definitely worth your money, though!
Haha I wasn't sure what to think of it, either. I had fun being creepy-face but also loved my tutu!
I dressed as Captain Anisakis and my girlfriend as Anisaki-ko, my sidekick (The original costume was just sushi, but we added the Anisakis to go with the 'fearsome' theme. Then we added the superhero bit just for fun)
My head is supposed to be maki sushi, but in this picture it was not in the best condition. The orange and green things are candy anisakis.

It's a way to make sushi fearsome, that's for sure.
I love that costume, Tin! It looks great and it's a very original idea! (or at least I haven't seen it before!)
Can't wait to see your Carmilla! 
I am eating my Halloween candy in order of descending rank. The Coffee Crisps and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were the first to go. Next was the Swedish Berries. Now I am working my way through Wunderbars and Twix.
If all those candy stuffs are better than Twix, I'm pretty sure Spain is lacking some extremely delicious things 
Wait, please don't tell me you've never had a reese's peanut butter cup? They do have those over there in europistan, right?If all those candy stuffs are better than Twix, I'm pretty sure Spain is lacking some extremely delicious things

It's possible. I believe Coffee Crisp is a uniquely Canadian delicacy.

Coffee Crisp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You guys are missing out. I forgot how good Coffee Crisps are.
Never had a Coffee Crisp, but I am VERY familiar with Reeses. I've got a bag full at home right now. Bought it yesterday for $1.00 *grins broadly* I love the time after Halloween, too.
Surprisingly, the local mega mart has coffee crisps. I've been enjoying one bar a week for the past couple of months.

Well, I've seen Reeses cups at a relatively expensive foreign food shop. And maybe on TV?

Never heard of a Coffee Crisp until now, but these pics on Google Image Search are making my mouth water.
Well, I don't want to oversell the Coffee Crisp. Its not as rich as a Peanut Butter Cup, but it is as its slogan suggest, a nice light snack. And I love it.

Well, peanut butter is a relatively American thing, so I don't know how well a Reese's peanut butter cup would go over with someone that doesn't regularly consume peanut butter anyway. But pretty much everyone in all 10 million square kilometers of the US knows about (and most quite enjoy) this particular candy.
Of the things I remember expatriates asking for, peanut butter and maple syrup flavoring are often on the list.

Oh man, did you ever have the KitKat Chunky Peanut Butter or KitKat Chunky Maple?

The peanut butter one, yes. I'm am so disappointed they didn't survive long in the market, though, I'm a sucker for extra chunky peanut butter already. They also had extra crunchy peanut butter cups for awhile as well.

Speaking of which, I'm think there's a kit kat and reese's peanut butter cup calling my name in the kid's halloween candy buckets right now.

You probably are right, when some peanut butter became regularly avaliable in Spain, Tegid bought some to try it and then gave me the jar so I could try it too. It was a rare and exotic relic straight from the world of movies and tv shows... and I didn't like at all. It was like eating peanut puree spread on bread.
Of course, It wouldn't surprise me if the brand we have around here is pretty bad. And there's probably more tasty ways of eating peanut butter than the classic peanut butter sandwich every kid seems to eat on tv.

You need Kraft Peanut butter. With green cover.
Fuckin' Squirrel brand peanut butter with the peanut on top. That thing was a God damn prize amongst my brothers and I.
Does Squirrel even exist anymore? After some Google-fu, nope, hasn't existed since 2000 when it was bought by the company that owns Skippy peanut butter wherein they eliminated the peanut on top shortly afterwards. That is unfortunate.

It also tastes like butt now.
