We used to do all of our Halloween parties here. Even when I wasn't living here. It was a blast.
Back in the day we used to do this really elaborate game of zombies. And those got kinda too big to manage? Like thirty people running around in the dark woods ended up with some serious scrapes. And some folks got a little *too* into it like locking people on the roof or someone accidentally putting their hand through a window.

Yeah. I'm going to guess an old Halloween decoration drug out by a dog or some old toy of mine. Though it's got a heavy sort of golf ball feel. Kinda neat.
Though when we found it covered in mud and what not, it looked shockingly real.

A few years back I had a Halloween gathering with some friends at a cabin by the lake. We strung up some skeleton lights and got drunk and played a now-infamous game of Call of Cuthulhu: Delta Green.
Our mixed team of doctors, civilians, and former military landed in a blizzard in Muncie, Indiana during the coldest winter in record, just beating out the storm. We were to investigate strange behavior at a local college's Greek society.
Instead we holed up in an airport bar called "Kokomo" and bitched about the assignment and got hammered and eventually switched over to Apples-to-Apples which I like to believe we played in-character.
I asked for time off surrounding Halloween two weeks ago
Looks like you weren't in the game

I'm taking the last week of October off to go to MICE in Boston, so I also have Halloween off and I'm thinking of maybe, maybe, going to Salem for the day
Not sure if I want to dress up as anything or just, like, walk around
but hey if you want to watch dumb shit in the morning that weekend and get drunk with me while I pregame I'm in.
Also guys I just have zero costume ideas. And also zero friends here to go out with, but one of my old friends from Seoul will be in town so at least that's not an issue.
My Halloween spirit is low in 2016, y'all. :sad:

So the host of the radio show I used to work on throws a giant Halloween party every year. Like super huge. I've only been to one, and last year it was about a forty minute line for drinks each time. Which, I totally enjoy a big crazy bash but even I have my limits.
This year he has a twenty dollar entrance fee to the party. This covers the fare for a personal bus that takes you to an underground party venue followed by the same forty minute wait for overpriced booze not covered by your entry fee. Also a hellacious taxi home situation.
After moving an hour and a half out of town I'm not going through that rodeo and want to host my own shindig. However, my cabin is an hour and a half from potential guests. However, your booze costs will also be minimal since you bring your own. And it's like a straight Evil Dead cabin which is perfect for Halloween.
Thoughts on making this the more appealing option?

I'm also not a dj or plan to have them.
Which is probably both a pro and a con.

Tynic brings up Mari Lwyd and argues that someone should dress up as it until she's blue in the face but no one ever does and they say they never will. She has the materials and she'll sell it cheap, but never any takers. It's just not in Tynic's character to stop flogging a dead horse.
I'm debating asking for Halloween off this year. (Cause otherwise my work's over prime spooky time) For once, I wouldn't be scaring the kids from our Haunted House scenery, but instead "Keeping the ghosts at bay" with my Ghostbuster equipment. Could be a fun change of pace.

So I kinda had to stop hosting those.
Fake.

Looks like the kind that would show up in an Evil Dead movie.

I'm super thankful there isn't a mounted deer head in this cabin.
Granted I suppose a mounted bear head isn't much better.
Rig it up with lights or sounds or something
Then hide something in the bear head because come on there should be something in there.
also, underneath the pumpkin mask i had a skeleton mask
and a bugle
i won't be able to do shit
i blame sandra

lol @ me ever getting time off with that short notice
Really, that blows, though.
if i want time off, i gotta plan insanely ahead of time
i went from being on call every four weeks to every three when my.boss quit this month. so, i.shoulda been off. but, surprise! not any more!
never become management
fair enough.
but hey if you want to watch dumb shit in the morning that weekend and get drunk with me while I pregame I'm in.

Do you have any generalized directions you want to head in for costumes? Spooky/funny/sexy?

No direction I want to head. Not feeling like sexy is an option this year, though.

Invite me
I've been trying to persuade someone to go as the Mari Lwyd for years, this might finally be it!
dead horses might be too sexy though?
Costume Idea:
Cowboy Boots
Jeans
Cowboy Hat
Sherriff/Law Enforcement Badge
Karate Gi
Lightsaber
Skywalker: Texas Ranger.

You can't wassail at Halloween. It would be wrong.

Mostly because it means everyone is drunk on my birthday.

You may have a good point there.

more of a ghost in the ephemeral sense, really
