Halloween Ideas

Good heavens! For a fraction of a second there I thought you had a side-cut human anatomy (head and body) on your wall, over (your) right shoulder. I was watching on my phone, so the two (love hearts?) looked like kidneys or something, lol. I should sleep... ;)

Hmmm, I left a comment earlier, but it has disappeared. I wonder if it was too long. If you can assemble a bag of Halloween candy, then go through the motions of sharing and trading with your viewers. This is what we would do after a long night of door knocking, dump our candy out to sort though what we had and trade with each other.

I didn't realize that Halloween was as much of a deal in the UK as in the US. Did you know that in the US, yanks spend a lot of money for Halloween, second only to Christmas (a close second in some places). Maybe have a sack of Halloween candy and 'share' it with your viewers. It was always fun as kids to dump out our candy after a long night of door knocking to compare and trade with each other. Real chocolate bars were a rare find, and little bags with candy corn or chocolate malt balls were toss away items (although I admit I did like the candy corn). Now it is almost impossible to get a decent chocolate bar. Most people these days buy bags of small one-bite size candy, generally referred to as 'fun size'. Bah! A full size candy bar is a lot more fun than those mini-me fakes. I imagine the candy you might receive where you live is not the same as people in other countries might find in their bags. Of course, finding onesy-twosy items to assemble into an ersatz trick-or-treat bag as a video prop might be costly. I still buy cases of full-size candy bars: Kit Kats, Three Musketeers, large Peppermint Patties, and regular size Reese's Peanut Butter cups. I buy all of these (except for the Three Musketeers) directly at the Hershey Factory Store in Hershey, Pennsylvania (fresh from the production line). Three Musketeers are from a different company and I buy them at a wholesale outlet. There is a method to this madness. I am the last house on a dead end street. No one wants to walk all the way down here for candy, The few intrepid monsters who brave the walk will go away with at least three or four dollars worth of the good stuff; usually no more than five or six kids make the trek. You might expect that word would get around, but I guess it doesn't. I get to keep the rest. It is put to good use, especially at Christmas time. I dump bunches of it into a big bowl for people to pick at. I keep a generous amount, just in case we get snowed in or iced over in the winter. :o) [ <a href="https://www.travelingmom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/chocolate-world-1-e1416515668633.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.travelingmom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/chocolate-world-1-e1416515668633.jpg</a> ] [ <a href="https://i2.wp.com/journeyswithjenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/hersheyps.jpg?fit=1984%2C1488" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://i2.wp.com/journeyswithjenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/hersheyps.jpg?fit=1984%2C1488</a> ] My second daughter Stephanie (who makes her own costumes) with our little monkey Tristan (and some of the candy he scored): [ <a href="https://i.imgur.com/Ne7ElwR.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://i.imgur.com/Ne7ElwR.jpg</a> ]
