The children and their excitement and their costumes. I like to see the imagination of the grown ups, too....

I follow the directions on the box of jell-o but I use alcohol in place of the water. Go to the halloween section at the grocery store and look for decoritive ice trays. I found bats and pumpkins one year. Pour the mixture into the trays till set. Enjoy!

Zorro: I haven't had a jell-o shot in over 5 years. I wouldn't mind a couple.

I love Halloween!............................It's fantastic!  I love making costumes...over the top costumes.  I love buying the treats...the one's every child loves.  I love carving pumpkins... as many as possible.  I love decorating my house... the scarier (in a cute way) the better.  I love the children coming to the door... I love how my son reacts to the event.  I love how my, "Oh so  very serious" husband has joined in the excitement of it all (He buys me the most gigantic pumpkins and ones in different colours!)... I love the sounds of children running up and down the streets having the best time of their lives...I love making goodie bags...I love the parents smiling at their children and presenting them as the cutest children in the world (which they are of course)....Halloween should be Halloweek!  It is the more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

I think I love you!

YES, I ENJOY IT. I LOVE TO SEE ALL THE KIDS DRESSED UP.

 Scarey movies like the evil dead George Romero's zombie movies  ash from evil dead he is really happy!!

The thrill of waiting for dark, so I can get dressed up and go trick-or-treating door to door,...... and I am in my forties!!!!!!   Of course I don't trick or treat anymore , but I do still feel the thrill for the kids every Halloween day!

The crisp weather , homemade costumes that people put a lot of thought and effort into making, and jell-o shots!

I forgot to say Candy Apples. Yummy!

Loving scene of mothers holding the hands of small children in funny costumes to get candy.

I find it scary - I always think of the film "To kill a Mockingbird". It doesn't seem to be such a big deal these days in the UK but I love to see kids enjoying such things - just great - especially the treat bit but I just know they enjoy the tricks.

Knowing I get to take my grandkids out as I do every year,but the years are passing by too fast fore I know it won't be long before they won't want to go out any more.But not THIS YEAR,can't wait.

Certainly, as a child, I loved getting all the candy! 
BUT nothing can compare to the joy of sharing the pumpking carving and making the costumes and the excitement of my children.  Being a Mom at Halloween is my favorite part of Halloween!

I'm very happy to hear parents with commonsense, thanks Rick.

it is scary and you get a lot of candy

smashing pumpkins..

The group or the act?

 Watch it if you come to my door. Halloween is an American habit not Australian. I'll never open the door...

Uless they are are supervised, it seems to me the littlies are a smorgasboard for pedifiles, i think it is a dangerous event.

i love the smell of burning leaves and fireplaces along with the chill in the air around halloween. and of course seeing the kids all dressed up and running through the crispy leaves.since mine are all grown up its watching others have a good time

I love it !!! I never buy store bought costumes the best are the ones that you make with stuff from the Good Will or Moms makeup !!But you have to go and get gory wax noses and teeth WEEEEEE lots of fun

The candy companies benefit, plus the discount sales after halloween of candies,  love those kit kat bars

Bats, spiders, toffee apples and going out with the Grandkids dressed up! GREAT.
