I think I've decided on either:
-A ghost pirate
-Medival Vampire, like the old-rip-your-throat-out, long Victorian gown-wearing, fanged, pal-skinned, old-century vampires
-Or something along the lines of a female grimm reaper, like a soultaker or something, or someone who send the souls of the deceased to the underworld, etc.

I'm a Christian, and so, because of my religion, I do not celebrate halloween, at least not in the way most do. Halloween, A.K.A. All Hallows Eve, is a celebration of the Devil's birthday. That is why there are so many people imitating scary, or ghastly thinks and demons on this day. Whenever I go out to trick or treat, I either don't dress up, or dress up as something nice, like a fairy, or an angel, or something. By dressing up in a scary and/or demonic costume, you are actually CELEBRATING the life and birth of the Satan. If anyone has any questions for me, I am all ears.

I'm sorry, but I believe that's incorrect. It's not supposed to be the birthday of Satan, I'm pretty sure.
"All Hallows Eve" was a night when demons are supposed to come to, I guess you'd call it, the mortal world. People would dress up as frightening things to scare the demons away, thus, All Hallows Eve (Halloween), came into existence.


Well, I myself LOVE the tought of dressing up and getting candy, but ALL of the pastors at my church say it is wrong. They say that if I want to dress up, I should make it fun, and happy, instead of demonic and evil.

Also, to correct you, dressing up scary and ghastly, is what WELCOMES the Devil/Demon's in, in my perspective.


No need to be rude, we were just pointing out the actual origins of the Holiday. >.<

I was not being rude.

And by saying "actual origins" you are basically saying that I am 100% wrong.


It could be both. There were probably so many people that eventully celabrated All Hallows Eve, that they all celebrated it differently. Thus some people here will say one thing whille other people will say another. Looking on the internet I found some websites that have a few therories.

Thanks for clearing it up Purple Pug Queen.

No problem. :3

I guess you could see it as that. :/

I don't take Halloween seriously, so I don't really see it as anything, just an old tradition.

we don't need to argue about religious views on Halloween here >.< I don't want to get this locked since religion arguments can turn into huge flame wars without anyone meaning them to DX

scary stories anyone? X3

My absolute FAVORITE holiday. So much fun and-hey!- free candy! xD

My friends and I spend MONTHS planning our costumes. No lie. My two best friends are going as Elmo and Cookie Monster (O.o) and I'm going to be Finn from Adventure Time or Mordecai the blue jay from Regular Show. But I'm going for the girly, smexy look. xD

If I do Finn, it'll look something like this-

But without the markings. xD

I have to share this X3, it was found here : http://www.creepypasta.com/
there are some awesome stories on there XD

We’ve all been there. You have just gone to a certain place, at a certain time on a certain date, done a special thing and the thing you suspected would happen has just dang happened, not to mention the fact that you’ve just seen whatever the hell it is that lives in your mirror, been told in detail how you’re going to die, and the highly demonic and invincible thing you summoned is heading towards you.
Also, your family are all dead, your friends are all missing and you’re being framed by someone with access to your bedroom. What do you do now, sweet protagonist?

Well, you’ve come to the right place to find out: These are the simple rules one must follow in order to firstly, not become the victim of creepypasta and furthermore, to come out kicking if the worst does happen. With the help of this guide you too can be the catatonic, traumatized wreck as opposed to the guy currently being worn as a coat by some dude who roams a lot. Just keep these simple rules in mind…

1. Mirrors and darkness don’t mix.
2. Actually mirrors are a general “NO”, in creepypasta world, there is nothing more sinister.
3. There is zero chance of survival if you look at the thing that no one else can see or answer it’s question incorrectly.
4. If you are alone at night in a creepy mental institution,take some time to consider what your doing there, then, if it is appropriate to do so, leave.
5. Avoid going to places where everyone else who went there never came back or died inexplicably.
6. If someone stops your vehicle at night and asks to come with you, it would probably be in your best interests to politely decline.
7. Killing is the last method of survival, use it sparingly but without fear.
8. WHO WAS PHONE is always a good thing to ponder. Also who the hell answers a phone while kissing a dead persons sexy daughter. A douche is who.
9. Get a simple .38 revolver. Load it with 2 silver bullets. If you really feel there is no chance to come alive out of a situation, take one shot at whatever is threatening you. If this doesn’t work, you still have the last shot to become an hero with.
10. Area 51 is simply too well guarded to let you get in. Or to let any alien out.
11. When going to a hotel, try to steer clear of unauthorized areas. If you couldn’t resist but you saw a red thing, take some time to consider the price range and hotel standard on your next visit. Have you ever stayed at a haunted Hilton?
12. When booking your hotel stay, Trip Advisor can be an invaluable tool in deeming whether your choice is the scene of a multiple murder/full of dead people/built at the mouth of hell. Local newspapers can also be helpful.
13. Invoking demons, speaking weird languages and performing rituals of any kind is considered dangerous. Refrain from doing that, especially around Abandoned Warehouses, Churches, Psychiatric Institutions, Forests and your house in front of a mirror at night.
14. When going to a new area, environmental understanding is a key to survival. Ask around for cursed places, legends, dangers and other details. Listen to the local peoples’ advice, and don’t be afraid to ask if you’re unsure of which attacks/disappearances are paranormal and which aren’t.
15. Always have a Bible next to your bed. Provides average reading material, proof of beliefs and a really heavy object to throw at enemies.
16. Don’t count on Holy Water. Get a sturdy vial of Sulfuric Acid and let a priest Consecrate it.
17. Japanese priests cleanse rooms by waving katana swords around. Their ritual is 100% effective on corporeal forms.
18. If you find 666 messages on your phone, mailbox, email, etc consider changing the said service provider. Also don’t bother listening /reading the messages. It’s spam. Extra dimensional, possibly, but spam nevertheless.
19. Old pharmaceutical companies cant help you. Unless you specifically need “Blood Of The Innocent”, ”Snake Oil”, and “Radioactive Syrup”. Which is never.
20. If you need to sign it in blood, you do not need to sign it. All mainstream governing bodies will accept contracts signed in ink, bear this in mind if offered deals that seem too good to be true.
21. Lighthouses are dangerous. Avoid them at all costs. If you work at a Lighthouse consider a career in Insurance Sales, or Veterinary Care.
22. There is simply no reason to listen to music that causes suicidal tendencies, or to watch films that have had strange/disastrous consequences..
23. If you like to plan ahead and have some money, buy your auntie and uncle a house in Bel-Air. Nothing can harm you there no matter how scared your mother is.
24. Secret secluded untouched places in old buildings are left untouched for a reason. Pioneers never say “die” but in fact they do have an unusually high mortality rate.
25. Before you start swimming in the ice-cold waters of a murky lake at the center of a dark forest at midnight, ask yourself, do you really want to travel to an ancient and terrifying city? If the answer is “no,” then stay at home instead, and watch whatever quality programming is available on Cinemax.
26. On your 33rd birthday try celebrating in a well lit house with the company of others.
27. Refrain from using the One True Name for anything, there is probably a reason people gave it a nick.
28. Watching TV static for long periods may be hazardous to your health, try satellite TV to combat this problem.
29. Get a cat. Those furry little hairballs seem to perceive unnatural phenomena better than us, and if desperate, simply throw it at whatever is about to get you.
30. Cemeteries are bad places, especially in foggy conditions and on Halloween. (I may have broken this rule last year, was it a bad idea? well nothing bad happened but it was really creepy, don't do it. I certainly shouldn't have, I felt guilty afterward, even if all I did was stand in a graveyard at midnight on Halloween)
31. Try not to close your eyes, ever. If you must, do so only briefly.
32. If you hear chanting, run until you are out of earshot.
33. If you are too old to play with dolls, you do not need to be anywhere near one of the creepy little bastards.
34. Legends can offer valuable insight of where not to go camping with friends.
35. When babysitting, ascertain the family’s tastes and preferences, to avoid being killed by poorly selected statues.
36. Even if you are certain that running will not save you, it is always best to try.

Follow these simple rules and little (or massive) harm may befall you. Either way, the important thing is to make sure your tale is told.

Woah that's kinda freaky, but a bit funny. Why did you go to a graveyard on Hallween? I would never have the guts to go to one at night, let alone Halloween.

I think I might be little red riding hood this year if I can't think of something better. Better meaning more clever like my Campbells tomato soup.

My friends and I are going by be cheerleaders and football players XD But the girls will be football players and the guys will be cheerleaders :3 What the girls will probably do [At least I am] is wear one of our guy friends' football jerseys and a pair of shorts. I don't know what the guys are going to wear though XD
