Halloween Memories with Darryl and Brian (and a few extra guests)

Vintage HalloweenDo you remember when the Halloween Bug bit you? Do you have unforgettable memories of Halloween when you were growing up? What do you do now to celebrate the month of October?

We talk about our upbringings as children and young adults as the Halloween infection spread through our tingling unscathed virgin bodies. Halloween has a way of grabbing a hold of some people and not letting go. If you are still reading this post then you have probably been bitten by the Halloween Bug and can relate to this twisted obsession. You are not alone.

We also add a few audio clips from a few of our guests as they share their experiences along their journey as a Halloween Junkie. You will hear stories from Leonard Pickel (HAuNTcon), The Bloodshed Brothers (Field of Screams), Eric Lowther (Haunted Overload), Matthew Flagler (The Canadian Haunted Attraction Conference), & Chris Ainsworth (ScareFest).

Whether it’s the crowded neighborhoods on Halloween night, filling up pillow cases full of Snickers and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, or scaring the little children that stroll innocently through the dark streets…we all have favorite memories from our Halloween past. The important thing is that we continue to reflect back into what excited us about this wonderful holiday and carry those thoughts into our future.

So…what are your favorite memories from Halloween? How did you know that you were infested with Halloween?

  1. One year I dressed up as a pirate but I needed a beard. Sister solved that by taking the lid off a pumpkin that had a candle burning in it and rubbing it on my face. The black soot from the lid was looked good and washed off easily at the end of the night.

    1. Never thought of that before! Its amazing where you’ll find creativity when you need it the most! Thanks for sharing.

      1. Indeed. Another memory I have is having fireworks after the trick+treaters are done and have gone home. There was a pinwheel in the box and the instructions said to nail it to a wood fence or piece of wood that would not move. It also said not to put the nail in to deep or it might not spin. Well we nailed it to a fence, lit it and it began to spin perfectly and then shot up about 40 feet up in to the air. I t was impressive……………. then it came down, but it caused no harm and burned itself out in a big patch of dirt. Not quite the Halloween scare anybody was expecting.

        I was told I must have not put the nail in far enough. However the next day I checked the fence the nail was there holding the cardboard that the pinwheel had come attached to. Basically it ripped itself off.

        Now my wife, who is from Arizona, tells me before she moved to British Columbia that she never heard of fireworks being combined with halloween. While we have had fireworks at Halloween for as long as I can remember. Which makes me wonder what areas do or do not have fireworks at Halloween?

        1. Usually pyrotechnics are used in a Halloween Attraction because they are easily controlled unlike fireworks. As far as Home Haunts, I assume they may be too much of a liability…
