Halloween party sounds fun! Is it just for kids or is there adult fun as well?
We have an adult sized skeleton onesie that Mr Peeler likes to put on for a time. Retro daggy horror movies and junk food are enjoyed by all. Later on when the kids are finally in bed we watch the late movies like "Vampyros Lesbos," "Patrick," Rocky Horror etc. If it's Kitch or B-grade and Aussie, we love it!
Do you get many trick or treaters coming round? We’ve only been back in Melbourne for a couple years and it’s pretty dead where we are unfortunately.
I would much prefer the undead
It's pretty quiet where I am too. No point in the kids going trick or treating as most people just aren't into it around here. I mean there's the odd house that puts up some decorations but few and far between.
If you use FB check your local community group. Some do maps of people who agree to be trick or treated, others do the orange balloon on the letterbox thing.
Yeah we carve the pumpkins 🎃 and drag our skeleton out the closet hehe.
( I did roast the pumpkin seeds one year which was kinda good)
We have wrapped loot only rules. Which I totally understand, but there are soooooo many demented things I could make if let loose
