| 2961 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | @Vaporman87 Thanks man. Looking back it was more trick or treating then the holiday that made me hate it. But then again trick or treating is the whole point of the holiday. | Halloween Sucks | Oct 16, 2015 |  |
| 2960 | Article | NLogan | @DirtyD79 the Winchester Mystery House has been on my bucket list for a while being interested both in the western history aspect of the firearm as well as ghosts, one day I'll make it. Cool you have a picture with Sarah Winchester! or old lady tourist or ruffled curtains. I think the pareidolia aspect is pretty cool how our genetics make us recognize shapes that appear like faces as both a nurturing thing as babies as well as a self preservation thing against predators or competitors hidden in the background or lurking in the bushes since the earliest times. The best example I can give is little kids looking at clouds and imagining shapes. In these cases those shapes are recognized by our visual cortex as faces and because they shouldn't be there obviously that means they have to be ghosts or divine figures on toast or trees, right? <img src="http://www.ourcuriousworld.com/Art Page_files/pareidolia_jesus.jpg"> What do you see in this late 19th century photo? A couple with a child in the middle wearing a cloche hat or bonnet, or the face of a divine figure in the middle? | Searching for a Real Haunted House | Oct 16, 2015 | |
| 2959 | Article | jkatz | That was a good read. I spent the first 4 years of my life in an small neighborhood that was populated with almost nothing but older retirees. We were the only young family in the neighborhood and I swear to God that they prepped every year for it. Homemade cookies and such aplenty. Recently I went back to where I grew up and every one of those sweet grannies and overenthusiastic grandpas were dead except for one couple. | Halloween Sucks | Oct 15, 2015 | |
| 2958 | Article | onipar | I actually didn't have any of that stuff as a kid. I didn't get to go to fast food places very often. But I made up for it as an adult! :-p | Halloween Promotional Items of the 80s and 90s | Oct 15, 2015 | |
| 2957 | Article | NLogan | I had the Hardee's ghost and it is still in a box of junk at my mom's house. I had several of the monster cereal prizes as a kid. We did have a few Mc Donald's pails Mc Boo, Mc Goblin, and Mc Punk'n around 1986 or so. | Halloween Promotional Items of the 80s and 90s | Oct 15, 2015 | |
| 2956 | Article | NLogan | Oh and by the way the blow mold skull trick-or-treat bucket in the first photo is made by Renzi and they are fairly easy to come by. | I was born in love with Halloween. | Oct 15, 2015 | |
| 2955 | Article | NLogan | Loved the personal pictures and memories of your mom and your Halloweens of the past. I still believe in the magic of Halloween and the fun of becoming anything for one night. I am glad that Halloween was there to save you when you needed it most. | I was born in love with Halloween. | Oct 15, 2015 | |
| 2954 | Article | onipar | Thanks! Were the McRobots the ones that transformed? I used to love those. I really just want toys in cereal boxes again. :-p | Halloween Promotional Items of the 80s and 90s | Oct 15, 2015 | |
| 2953 | Article | Vaporman87 | Epic. lol. Just epic, this. On the down side, it's pretty easy to see why Halloween sucked for you. I mean... pooping your pants... that pretty much seals the deal. But there are just so many reasons here for you to despise Halloween, yet you seem to have made peace with it. Perhaps as time goes on, and you have kids of your own, then Halloween will become what it should have always been for you... a joy. | Halloween Sucks | Oct 15, 2015 | |
| 2952 | Article | Vaporman87 | Okay so, I'm going to be up front and confess that I am pretty sure this is the first article I have read here that brought a little moisture to my eyes. I can't imagine losing a parent at such a young age, then having to face that and the holiday that really brought you both so much joy all at once every year thereafter. That you treat it more like a celebration of those times instead of a time to mourn is honorable and amazing. I can't know what you went through, but I too lost my mother in late October (actually the day after my wedding anniversary). So celebrating our anniversary and mourning the death of my mom are almost inseparable. But in the end both days are really a celebration of love. Love gained and love lost. | I was born in love with Halloween. | Oct 15, 2015 | |
