"We need more decorations. If this place doesn't make me think I'm about to be murdered, it isn't scary enough."
"Ah yes, nothing says 'Halloween' like a ghost in a cowboy hat."
"Ooh, can we do a couples costume?"
"How many parties do you think I can go to in one night? Three? Four?"
"I got pumpkin stencils!"
"I know how to carve a pumpkin, I don't need a stencil."
"BOO! Ha, did I scare you?"
"No, no no no, you can't wear that, you know I'm scared of clowns!"
"If you think about it, Halloween would be the perfect time to commit a murder. There's so much fake blood around, and people dressed as killers. Nobody would know."
"Let's go trick-or-treating!"
"I bet I can get more candy than you."
"Discounts started early. I got enough sugar to last us through to New Year."
"I just saw a kid dressed as a dropped hotdog. No bun, and fluff stuck to their head. Who dresses as a dropped hotdog?"
"Which costume idea is better: Zombie werewolf or were-zombie?"
"I said I was thinking of going as a ghost and they asked me how I was planning to come back to life for November. Like, what? I'm putting a sheet over my head I'm not really turning myself into a ghost."
"Man, ghosts must love halloween. It's like they're celebrities for the month. They could haunt anybody and it just adds to the atmosphere."
"Aww no, my pumpkin seeds burned."
"The theatre kid in me wants to spend upwards of six hours doing makeup to terrify even the bravest trick-or-treater, but the me that got no sleep last night wants to do no makeup at all and let my eye-bags work their magic. It's a tough decision."
"Did you remember to buy sweets?"
"Shit! I forgot to buy sweets!"
"I need more ideas for halloween themed food. So far I've got devilled eggs, goreos, and cupcakes with little ghost sprinkes."
"So is the hat part of a costume or are you a wizard now?"
"Apparently even if it is for a costume, bringing a real knife to a party is 'irresponsible' and 'why all the guests are screaming' and I 'need to stop waving it around'. Nobody lets me have any fun."
