In my younger days, I usually chose to dress as the Grim Reaper when trick or treating.

Fun fact: Scottish people call trick or treating "guising". My mother never let me go trick or treating since she considered it begging. I was never invited to Halloween parties either. So Halloween was just staying in and a jack-o-lantern really.

The only Halloween party I ever went too I had to buy a ticket to get in, I went as the Grim Reaper. I figured it be an assortment of kids, teens and adults all just enjoying themselves. Everyone there were just children, I was the only pre-teen there. It was then I realised it was too late for me to enjoy Halloween. I never really counted it as part of my life experiance with Halloween other than the very end of it.

If anything this entire thread made me clearly realise is that I don't really like Halloween. I only thought I liked it. Any sense of wonder or mystery that people come to expect from it regardless if they're too old or not, I simply never had the the experiances thus no feelings for it.

The only thing I actually like about Halloween is decoration and whatever little fun that can come of it. like Halloween specials.
