Even better if they are made with peanut butter cups instead of just chocolate (unless your allergic to peanuts of course)

My wife introduced me to this and yes, it's amazing
We may bring back something we previously did, which is to have two separate bowls for the trick-or-treaters: One with candy for the little kids in costume, and one with cheap-ass plastic toys for the lazy teenagers with no costume carrying pillow cases. I enjoy the looks on their faces.

I love Halloween. But the only thing that should taste like pumpkin is pumpkin pie.
Try making marshmallows at home if you haven't. I'd always had store-bought ones until my wife made them a few years ago. They are SO much better than the commercial marshmallows, it's incredible.Marshmallows
I never had marshmallows until a year ago. Same thing with s'mores. Mind you, we made them in the oven - not over a fire.
Theyre kinda good esp with coffee on the side.
This month can be enticing and invigorating, can't it? If you listen closely in the quiet hours, you can hear the scratching of those long gone, impatient to visit again.
When my girls became too old for me to take them out, I reverted to scaring the kids that came to our house. Wife would sit outside to hand out candy, porch light on, house darkened, low volume ethereal music from speakers near the open windows.
Scary mask and gloves, full length tattered, dirty, worn-out full length hooded robe for me. It helps that I'm 6ft 2in (1.88m). Stood immobile against a tree or wall until the kids were close, either approaching or leaving. A slow head turn and a few steps was all it took as they'd side-eye me or or ask "Is that real?". I didn't know young kids can be creative with cuss words sometimes LOL. Had fun doing that for many years.
Now I live in an adult community, no kids come by. Bummer...
Wife and I have started watching some classic horror movies, and some newer ones, but that's about it.
However, my avatar seems to be heavily influenced by the month of All Hallow's Eve. It went thru some changes last year during this month, and it seems to be starting again. Little twit has a life of it's own. It recently cut it's hair and facial hair, I haven't yet. I'm watching it now, because it seems to be starting again. Original pic:

Not a big Halloween guy, but I love fall/autumn! After a typical long, hot, monotonous summer in Sacramento, autumn is so refreshing. I long for cold, rain, and shorter days; even fog is a welcome change. I can't wait to pull out the sweaters and jackets!
Here's a pretty good horror movie I watched for the first time earlier this month, and it's actually set during Halloween. I found it to be more clever than most horror movies I've seen. I don't think it was ever released in theaters.

We will do another party with the birds.
The greatest time of the year!!! 
My wife and I are former "goth" people so we used to get pretty crazy with the makeup, outfits, corpsepaint, as well as worked at a local haunted attraction every October weekend for a few years. But since covid and sobriety, we just hand out candy the day of.
During the month, we lean towards (more) spooky shows/movies and I throw on horror punk records every chance I get

I am going go as a reasonable person and an intermediate bass player. I’ve done it before and nobody has ever been able to guess what I am.

Used to be made from the roots of the mallow plant (which grows in marshes), hence the name. But for the last 100 years or so it's just glucose syrup and gelatine made from the collagen in animal hooves and cartilage with powered sugar. Kinda gross.Marshmallows
I never had marshmallows until a year ago.
I just completed the implant process on6 teeth. It was much less of an ordeal than I was lead to believe. I think it’s a pretty great technology.
I have a gig on 10/29 at Pala Casino...big room...maybe 500-600 peeps can fit in there.
It will be fun.
But for "partying", I guess I have another gig on 10/22 in which I DJ the annual trunk-or-treat at my church for the little kids (and big kids). I call it the "annual candy exchange".

I will look back fondly at Halloween 1986, when we gave out pool thermometers, gravy, rocks, and other assorted goodies along with the candy.
"I got a rock!"

I assure you, my birthday is not fake.
We'll go out trick or treating with my son and maybe put some decorations up, but nothing crazy and we won't be giving candy out.
