In the spirit of Halloween - favorite scary movie?

I'm too chicken to watch scary movies most of the time! I though Sixth Sense was good, but I guessed the ending half way through. Stir of Echoes scared me pretty good. I thought The Ring was horrible until the very end when I just about peed my pants! How about you all?

where is the halloween spirit???
The person that I rent my house from made me take down my Halloween decorations... to me that's sad!!! all they were was just a pumpkin door cover, funky caution tape on the porch posts, and 3 tiny inflatable pumpkins on string. She said the caution tape made people think it was a crime scene, which is resonable if people were that gullible..... baahalloweenbug! To me it is just a holiday that makes kids happy and that is good enough for me.... HAPPY HALLOWEEN MTs!!!
favorite movie ever
"Queer Duck - the Movie"
All time favorite movie?
My absolute favorite, which I can watch over and over, is Grease. Dirty Dancing (the original) plays a close second though. 
That is Orin Hatch's favorite movie, as he was on TCM with it.
Orin stated he would have gotten the guy off.
That movie is probably the only thing Mr. Hatch and I have in common.
I think my spirit is broken also (sm)
He said to me this morning "You can't take care of yourself, you need someone to take care of you, you don't make enough money." Well, I would probably have to work more but the fact is I make pretty darn good money considering I do 99.9% of the taking care of our children and everything around our house. Just another way to degrade me I think.
Critics hate the movie, but love her. Movie way too contrived, but so
a
Hopefully it's a benevolent spirit! Acknowledge it and carry on. :) nm

May his amazing spirit live on - see message -
The point being lost here is that they could have euthanized him months ago because it was obvious he was never going to race again and make them any big money. They chose to try to help him heal, which I can imagine cost thousands upon thousands of dollars and would be of no financial benefit to them because he would never be able to race again. I think the owners went above and beyond in trying to give him anything they thought was a chance at a happy life back on their farm. He seemed to have an amazing spirit and seemed to be recovering well for the most part. When he took a recent turn for the worse again they made what I am sure was a difficult decision to let him go.
Although I disagree with you staying, I admire your spirit :) nm

Hoping his spirit continues to run free. Amen. nm

I love having a Mary Spirit in a Martha World

Anybody see the movie Sicko yet? Important movie!

well...I am not much for Halloween but...
I am not one for Halloween, never was really into it but...
My son is going as a CIA agent and my daughter is going as a princess (their choice). 
Halloween
With October fast approaching I thought I would ask about Halloween costume ideas. What have your kids been in the past? Do you make their costumes or buy them?
We try to make ours but sometimes the characters are easier to buy. Off hand I can think of my favorites...a magician, an alien, a ghost, macaroni and cheese, pop tart.
what are your kids being for halloween?
My kids are too old to go trick-or-treating now, but I'd love to know what your child/children are dressing up as this year. I always loved the creative home-made costumes even though I always seemd to go out and buy them!
Halloween Costumes
My three year old is going as a Unicorn and my 12 year old isn't trick or treating this year, but she's going to take her sister around and share her candy.
Talking about Halloween, get this
I was listening to a report yesterday about a school that cannot have Halloween theme nor OMG any Christmas theme and now unable to serve anything pork or pork related on the school menu because it might offend others. This is our country but I thought to myself it is becoming others, not ours anymore. This might sound strange but honest to God I thought this, oh well I am up in age and will not be around for years and years to come so I will not have to hear this for as long as I have been on this earth now. If Americans do not stand up, we are slowly losing our country little by little to others. I do not mind immigration but when I see our beliefs, our holidays, our American way falling by the wayside, it makes me sad. We are being put on the backburner because others might be offended? What gives?
Happy Halloween
I am dressed up as a skeleton, but sadly alot of pitbulls out there are skin & bones w/o dressing up abused by their owners, neglected. We pray for all of the pitbull breed. We also pray that people will come to love & understand this wonderful breed of dogs. For those who hate us out of their own ignorance and lack of understanding, we pray for you.
Happy Halloween
Here is our baby girl (CJs mom)... since the costume had wings she tried it out to see if she could fly LOL
Goodwill Stores & Halloween - sm
Wow.... I just got back from a trip to the local Goodwill Store, and boy, am I ever ready for Halloween! Beginning in October they bring out all their costumes, and costume-worthy, bizarre clothing. Usually I don't get there 'til it's all picked over, but THIS TIME I went early. Sometimes I get stuff just for the material, or the trimmings, and other times I'll see a piece and do some "reverse engineering" on it to turn it into something else. But I don't need to do that this year - everything I found is good to go!
I LOVE Halloween... it's always been my favorite holiday! Can't wait..!
Sister's halloween costume
My twin sister lives 2000 miles away, so it sure is fun to get pictures. This is her Halloween costume this year, which cracked me up.
We may be twins, but apparently we are not identical, because this costume would look a little different on me. So in my reply I said:
In that picture you(r hair) look(s) just like me (mine)!
Why dogs hate halloween

Halloween candy warning
HALLOWEEN CANDY RECALLED
There is a new warning put out by the Canadian Food Inspection
Agency....
Sherwood brand Pirate's Gold Milk Chocolate coins are being
recalled due to the fact that they contain Mel amine, the ingredient in milk
product that has caused many infant deaths in china. These candies are
sold at Costco, as well as many bulk and dollar stores. please make sure to
check your childrens halloween candy and DO NOT LET THEM EAT THE
PIRATE COINS (you know the ones wrapped in the shiny gold foil) and
please let other parents know about this!
Wear Halloween masks? sm
Just kiddin'!
Although my boys are older now and seem to "forget" to bring home school fundraising materials, I do remember those days. There were school fund raisers, band fundraisers and Boy Scout Popcorn to sell. I felt like I needed to wear a Halloween mask sometimes, but what I did was to carefully choose which fundraisers my boys would participate in. We knew that Boy Scout popcorn is sold in October/November, so we would not participate in school/band/other fundraisers during that time. Maybe in the spring of the year we would participate. You might just try giving a donation in place of actually selling if your budget permits. For example, if a child is expected to sell $100 dollars in cookie dough of which the school (or whatever) would retain 1/3, then just donate $33 to the school (or whatever).
I am a Baptist and love to decorate for Halloween.
My husband and his family on the other hand don't like Halloween nor the decorations, since he feels that way, he doesn't help me and my daughter decorate. Whatever. We love decorating so we do it anyway. If they don't like it then don't look. It is just a day to have fun and decorate. Some people need to relax a little and let loose.
This just brings it back to the Halloween talk-
We are NOW allowed as adults to wear masks as in covering our face for Halloween- at least in my section of the country. We might be thieves but others can! Love your post, by the way.
1978 Halloween and 1960 Psycho....

We're having a big fall/Halloween party on Sunday. sm
 I need some great ideas to ask guests to bring - Husband and I are providing the main meal but I'm asking some friends and relatives to bring "side" items. The main dish will be chili dogs. I asked friend to bring a few bags of chips. Anything else interesting a few people can bring to accompany? Not everyone is bringing something. We do this every year, have hay rides, and it lasts all day. We play games and give out prizes. It's a blast. A lot of people from our church will be coming. I'm really not the only one hosting it, but the other hosts need to know what to bring...I can't think of anything interesting besides drinks and chips!
I'm making my famous marshmallow witches again this year and another gal is bringing baby cany apples by scooping out a portion of an apple with a melon thingie and dipping those in caramel. I've never heard of them before but she said they were so cute! What do you creative women think??I need to let my other hostesses know today some time. thanks!!
Any funny/great ideas for couples Halloween costumes?
My 24-year-old DS and his SO have to dress up for a Halloween party. His older brother and his wife are going as Dog and Beth, and 24YO DS is trying to come up with something even better than that. Any ideas out there?
What a good role model you are for good holiday spirit...wow nm
Thanks, so scary
I put my cats in the powder room with their blanket in the inner part of the house. I watched TV and was ready to join them as soon as I was told to take cover as was being told to people just down I-75 from me. Like I said, rotation 2 miles away and that is too close for me. Live on a high hill and last year tornado touched down in exactly the same place where rotation was today. Hope I have missed the bullet for this time. There has been damage though in my state from a tornado today. Thanks, I was praying also.
A scary day for NY

Yes, it's very scary (sm)
I remember when the study came out in a health magazine back in the ྖs. I found this link, which tells more of the story than I remember from the health magazine article.

I've been told I'm an alarmist (even a whacko!)....so I don't really talk about these things very much. My own family doesn't believe in much of this either, and I won't go into it here in great detail. But let me just say this:
The best thing to do is to be informed, and then each of us can make the decisions for ourselves, of what we put into our bodies, or on it, etc.
For myself, I do not to use a microwave.
I do not buy genetically modified food, if I know what it is, and can help it, that is. Corn is the scariest thing out there right now, that's in so many different foods/drinks:
http://www.truefoodnow.org/shoppersguide/guide_printable.html#baking
I buy organic food and non-hormone and non-antibiotic meats, non-irradiated as well.
I use only biodegradable household cleaners, nothing toxic.
I do not use flouride toothpaste or antibiotics that are fluoroquinolones.
I do not to use a deodorant that has aluminum in it.
I will not have any vaccinations that have mercury in them.
I now get only porcelain fillings, no more amalgam (silver, mercury). It's on my wish list to get all the old mercury out of my mouth, and I've been doing it slowly.
I also stay out of the sun, because I have fair skin, and skin cancer runs in my family.
I try to make as many healthy choices as I can.
Like I said, though, all we can do is inform ourselves. Find out everything you can on things that may be poisoning us, without our even knowing it. Then choose how you go about living your life.
yep very very scary
I was born in the 50s...so I'm old enough to BE your mother *snickers* *winks@U*
In my opinion, this country slowly but surely is becoming a dictatorship....I'm just glad my kid is an adult now and I don't have to face these Gardisil issue(s), until she has children of her own. And if she has a girl - I'm against that mandatory thing......
if we raise our girls right, we can cut down on these problems. I raised mine right and she waited...and listened....I think I just lucked out....but I didn't stop talking and still don't...*laughs*
and on her myspace page she has put me as Her Hero....*flattered* and *humbled* by this kid!!! We have a great relationship, something I didn't have with my own mother...(though had it with my father and is probably why I didn't have it with my mother, and they remained married for 48 hours until her death....)
My Dad was THE BEST! They don't make 'em like they made 'em in the beginning of the prior century....I always told him. He died a couple of years ago, I miss him badly...I never did miss my mother...oh that's not entirely true - I missed her growing up while she was alive...(her social life was more important than her kids, the post WWII moms, some of them were like this....)
Keep The Faith is what I think.....
me too - it is scary, isn't it? (sm)
We have had our money split up for severaal years. In fact my husband recently bought a $7,000 boat without even discussing it with me :(
that is scary
I'm glad you had the dogs there with you - I too never lock my doors - also living in a rural area. I have dogs also. . but I may start locking my doors when I am alone. .
Scary isn't it?
I don't have any advice for you, but I have an 11 year old son. Found out that lots of kids in his MIDDLE SCHOOL are having sex, drinking, smoking, and using drugs. This is in a 'supposedly good' school in a suburb of Atlanta. There is also some gang activity. I will be homeschooling him starting this fall.
I am so sorry to hear of your problems with your daughter. I hope that someone here is able to offer you some sound advice. I know that it is not a good feeling to have someone living in your house whom you feel you cannot trust.
Not scary now, on TV, but REALLY scary in the
Best line:
"I think we're gonna need a bigger boat."
He is scary sometimes...sm
I have told my mom on more than one occasion he is not right in the head. I think he has mental issues. He does not demonstrate normal behavior at all.
I agree his girlfriend can sew it back on. You know what is funny is his girlfriend doesn't know how he REALLY is. He hides that side of himself. My mom said one day it will come out and she will see him for who he really is.
He thinks nothing of calling one time right after another if you don't answer the phone and will ride by and spy on you to see if you are home or just not answering the phone. My mom did have to threaten to call 911 one night though cause he was on her front porch banging on the windows and the walls and crying and yelling to let him in please. She had to threaten to call 911 before he would leave.
Can you say insane?!
You got it!!! I am so real, it's scary *LOL*
And I never tried to push my upbringing/religion onto anybody ever in life and now I'm not into organized religion but very into G_D! And I would never push my ways down anyone else's gullet.
very scary indeed - (I used to live in AZ)....no msg
I think the scary thing about #2 is - sm
not so much that the ad is out there, but that it will probably get a ton of responses. The Internet is a wonderful and very frightening tool.
Vegas scary?
My husband and I visit all the time- he has nights when he goes where he wants and I go where I want- I love the shows, he does not- we split up and OMG, I am a woman all by myself out on the streets of Vegas… I am scaring myself! People are all over the streets day and night- I feel completely safe, probably safer than in my home town. Why scare someone??
scary games
They are so much fun though. I really really like them. I am on a community now online called There.. Kind of like a visit chat community.. almost a game for me.. Meet a lot of nice people.
How scary! Big hugs to you. sm
Take a deep breath, say the Serenity Prayer, Let Go and Let God, make sure you are taking care of yourself by eating and getting the rest you need. That's what Al-Anon has taught me and it has served me well.
This is scary. How could they be so careless? nm

Wow . . . that is shocking and very scary.
Our school district has an exception to the medication policy for children carrying asthma inhalers, where paperwork is completed in advance and kept on file.
Can tell you that Ambien is a little scary
my daughter was prescribed it and she did very bizarre things in her sleep that she has no recollection of - covered the entire bathroom floor with an entire box of tissues very neatly, sat down to go to the bathroom without pulling down her pajamas, walked into other people's rooms and did strange things. Jack Nicholason said he nearly drove off a cliff on Ambien.
Scary! Thanks for sharing because
now I'm going to be on high alert. Thank God you caught it when you did! BTW, which company are you talking about that might have been an inside job? I'm hoping it's not one I have an account with! :0)
Pretty scary, isn't it?
I just don't know how much worse this nation must get before it is worse that Sodom and Gommorah. Those cities must have been wicked beyond compare. Part of me says "Wait just a little longer, Lord" but another, ever increasing part of me says "Come even so Lord Jesus."
OH MY GOSH! how scary.
when i picked up those 2 guys, i was raging mad at my employer and in one of those "i don't care" states of mind. another time when i passed a decent looking guy in a hospital parking lot, i ignored the bad feeling i had, and he tried to kidnap and rape me. so maybe our "senses" don't always clue us in, but when they do, we need to LISTEN!!
