64 Spine-Chilling Halloween Disasters That Will Make You Question Everything Beyond Costumes

When I essentially shot it down completely, he said I “need to be more fluid” and I put my foot down and said if they did that I would likely get an Uber to a club and not come back until after. That I would feel very hurt and unappreciated. He backtracked, but things still feel a bit tense. On my end, feeling like that shouldn’t have even been on the table to begin with. But it seems small so I might be overreacting

As it happens every year, there will be a Halloween office party with the usuals… good food, candy, drinks, music, etc. I’ve never had an issue with that. It’s also common to see people from our area and other areas dress up and/or put makeup on. Again, no issues with that.

This year, however, they came up with the grand idea for everyone in our area to dress up and wear the same costume. (Think the seven dwarfs, except we can repeat a character). They even suggested which store to get it from, which design. That’s where I am not comfortable. (And of course, we would pay out-of-pocket for the costume.)

I don’t like the idea of wearing something I don’t relate to. Also, I spend the majority of my day in my office, so it’s not like it will be obvious I’m the only rule-breaker.

I appreciate the people I work with, and I want to continue being an active member of the team, but I just don’t feel like going out of my way to buy something I will never wear again. (Plus, it would look ridiculous on me)

I hope it’s not hypocritical of me for encouraging the office to practice teamwork and cooperation, and yet stepping out on this particular activity.

It’s Halloween in a new house in a new town. We moved five months ago. My (44M) wife (47F) wants to hand out full size candy bars so we can be the cool house. Ok. That sounds like fun I guess.

As I do all the grocery shopping, I buy 24 Hersey bars, 72 Sour Straw bars, and 24 boxes of Good’n’Plenty. (I priced it out on multiple websites and grocery stores before buying.) I will also pick up a 10 pound bag of Tootsie Pops / Tootsie Rolls later in case we have a lot of kids, as I have been warned we are in the “rich people” subdivision and there are a lot of kids that stop by. Maybe some Lemonheads too, idk.

My wife told me I was a jerk for buying licorice Good’n’Plenty candy. I disagree, because: A. Licorice is awesome, and B. It’s only like 10% of the overall candy

Halloween is coming up and as someone with two children and a husband that adores everything scary it’s a big deal

I’ve got two children, Kasey (5) and Robin (5)

My mother asked to have Kasey and Robin on halloween, it makes sense as early the day after we’re collecting a kitten to surprise the children with as well as the fact we haven’t actually had a “no child” day in over a year now.

Still upset about not having the children I told my sister about an activity I had planned and asked if her daughter (8) wanted to be involved.

Both of my children invited a friend around too for a sleepover, I was going all out.

I spent a little over £30 on sweets, got them stickers, a colouring book, slime, some face paints for when it is halloween, some LOL friendship bracelets and a small doll each – husband thinks I went overboard and maybe I did, it’s their first real halloween and I won’t be there so I’m upset.

I had planned on making it a scavenger hunt, hiding it all around the house so they can look for it.

I got a film, was going to order pizza or McDonald’s so it’s a real treat, I told my sister.

Well, my children spent the night around hers and they come back all happy from them doing what I had planned

I don’t mind her doing it with her kids but I was looking forward to seeing the looks on my kids face and now I feel upstaged and if I do it I’ll be the one copying, it’s less special.

I told her as such, we argued and she is no longer bringing my niece around.

Kids are inviting two more friends though so might be considered a win for them.

Sister thinks she’s owed an apology and that I overreacted and caused drama for no reason.

AITA?

Hi,

So I run a youth group and myself and the other youth leaders were talking about dressing as the entire scooby doo gang for halloween. I was gonna be Scooby, and get a Scooby Doo onesie from Amazon. It’s the whole body costume with ears etc., and a hole for a face.

I was telling a group of friends what we were doing, and how I was going to then paint my face brown with some of the Scooby freckles etc. One in particular suddenly had a face was like I’d just slapped him. “You can’t do that!” he said. “That’s blackface!”

Turns out he, and several others at the table, think that me, as a white guy, painting my face Scooby-Doo brown, would be blackface. To me I hadn’t even considered that there would be any racial connotations whatsoever – it’s a dog, not a person of another race – and that I shouldn’t do it. Not sure whether it matters, but everyone saying it would be wrong was white, the one black guy at the table had no problem with it at all.
