Are You Dressing Up This Year?

edited October 2023 in The Crypt
I know that many people are unable to go trick or treating or have chosen to not do trick or treating this year due to the situation with COVID-19 but it does not mean that dressing up has to stop. I was wondering if anyone is going to dress up for a scary night in or for a zoom party.

If you are going to dress up, what are you going to wear?

    I did stop trick or treating a few years ago but in previous years like last year I’ve dressed up if I’m going to a Halloween party. 

    This year probably not as we have (as yet) nothing planned. It’s not really a big thing in our family and we don’t get many trick or treaters round anyways so it probably won’t be much of a thing here this year as no parties.

    That makes sense. We usually don't get many trick or treaters but we had loads last year so we almost ran out of sweets (but there were some kids that actually chose to have apples or oranges instead which thankfully my parents brought before!)

    We had one trick or treater last year and he turned up in a very scary wolf mask and costume. He was very cute. Luckily we had bought a few sweets just in case (he’s the only child in our village now).

    This might just be me being old and grumpy but I don't think I will this year :( I usually throw a Halloween party, but obviously we can't this year so I don't see the point in dressing up

    That makes sense. Everyone is allowed their own opinions about what to do
