View Full Version : This Oughta Scare the Little Buggers
I'm gonna dress up as a Hazardous Incident Containment Crew member to pass out candy to the kids this Halloween, so I gave what I got so far a trial run. I need better gloves and if I could get a biohazard and nuclear hazard stickers for the bunny suit, so much the better. My wife just rolled her eyes and took photos

Haven't done this in a while, but I used to build a dummy from old clothes and rags and set it out as a Halloween decoration. Complete with boots, gloves, and a head made from a black scarf with a hat. I'd set it out in a chair out front of the house sitting kinda slouchy.
Then, on Halloween (after dark), I'd dress up very similar, complete with half laced boots, a black stocking mast, etc. and slouch in another chair with a table and bowl of candy between us. When the kids walked up, they'd typically think I was a decoration, and when they would reach for the candy, I would jerk my head and say something like "don't be greedy".. and scare the bejebbers out of them. I would not bring the 'dummy' to life with really little kids, but the 7-12 year old kids (and their parents sometimes) really thought it was a great scare...

I couldn't imagine doing that here. You'd die of a heat stroke within an hour. You're lucky!
Hazardous Incident Containment & Control of Unauthorized Phenomena- or H.I.C.C.U.P. This is a special unit put together to Contain & Control spills, leaks of Nuclear, Biological, Chemical material, waste and by-products and to deal with any occurrences of Re-Animation of the Dead (FSA), Genetic Mutations, Extra Terrestrial Incursions and other Unauthorized Phenomena that may arise as a result.
We have it on good authority that something nefarious planned, with agent provocateurs and agitators in place all across our nation, for 31 October. But don't worry- H.I.C.C.U.P. will be ready
I've got a pile of Hot Wheels That my sons & I collected years ago when they were little. I recently dug them out of storage to check to see if any had some collector value. Turns out I have a knack for collecting toy cars that, years later, won't be worth any more than what I paid for them. So, I'm thinking of just giving them away for Halloween, instead of candy

Be careful you don't get shot.
When I was a kid I used to really enjoy the houses that went out of their way to be spooky. Not talking about the retarded crap bought at Party City like ridiculous rubber bats or spiders but a serious attempt at atmosphere.
One of the best was a guy who had sort of a foyer outside his front door. Built a convincing looking casket which he put all the way in the back, with a large bowl of candy inside the open lid. Lots of realistic cobwebs everywhere and a strobe light set to it's lowest speed. Had some passable skulls and things like that.
As soon as you got to the entrance you had to decide how badly you wanted candy from that house. Almost became a dare and I don't think anyone under 10 was brave enough. For me around the age of 12 it was a great rush.
While the night was devoted to the mass acquisition of free candy and the repaying of outstanding social debts in the form of mild vandalism, we had nothing but respect for this house and others that made similar attempts. Like a fantastic display of christmas lights, we genuinely appreciated the effort that people made for the enjoyment of the rest of us.
A couple guys did the "hide in the dark" and see if they could give us a scare stunt. Typically that resulted in the toilet paper and eggs treatment later on.
Be careful you don't get shot.
I sorta doubt the FAL will be going outdoors with him.

I'm going to wear an Obama mask and take candy from the kids. Maybe have the wife dress up as Michelle and offer some tofu or something.
I have an Airsoft P90 that I'll use on Halloween night. It's much lighter than the FAL and less frightening to the "civilians".
Don't have any LBE but I did find an old web belt which looks like it was made to hold 15 round carbine mags

Of course I've lost my mind- I'm married and have children

If you are going to be Obama, you should make the kids pay for the candy, and then give them candy that is crappier than what they could have simply bought on their own. I vote for that Halloween taffy crap that came wrapped in orange and black paper. You know the stuff that tasted like coffee.

Genius!!!! As they leave, kick 'em in the nuts twice.. Then tell them that's how the last 2 election days felt.
My son is almost 4. Last year on Halloween, some jackass neighbor thought it was a great idea to scare the little kids with zombie masks, a fake machete, fake blood, and scary noises, which didn't go over well with my son who wasn't even 3 yet (or his friends that were with us that were the same age). He still talks about it and will only go trick or treating if he can punch the offending jackass in the balls. I'm fine with scaring older kids, but the younger ones don't understand the premise and aren't emotionally mature enough to take it.
So have some discretion with who you are scaring, otherwise a punch in the balls may come from a little guy and possibly his dad as well if there's anything but an apology after receiving the punch in the nuts for scaring little kids.
If you dress as Obama, my son would for sure punch you in the balls. He knows Obama as Barrack the evil Somali pirate that steals from everyone that isn't his friend and give things he steals to lazy people that don't want to work but like him because he gives them free stuff. I tried to explain socialism to him because he asked what I was talking to one of his friend's fathers about and this is what he came up with from the explanation of the concept of redistribution. He also saw a picture in one of my books on the MP5 that has artwork of some Navy guys whacking a Somali pirate and he said the pirate looks like that 'guy on tv news that looks like he never tells the truth' (Obama). He thinks Hillary is an evil witch that helps Barrack the pirate steal stuff and casts spells to make people stupid to believe that redistribution works.
He hasn't been indoctrinated by me. I have just explained concepts to him in practical terms he understands (like redistribution is taking his toys he has earned by doing things around the house to give to another kid that doesn't do chores).
My boy is finally old enough to somewhat understand Halloween (nearly 2.5). He's been walking around for 2 weeks talking about witches, ghosts and pumpkins. So I expect I'm gonna be enjoying the crap outta taking him trick or treating. :)
As a wee lad, I always loved the crazy middle aged men who did far out stuff for Halloween.
One guy had a big wood sign he put out that literally said "Welcome to HELL" in red spraypaint. His daughter who was hot put on a tank top,sheer knit sweater ,cut off jeans, black stockings and whore boots and a lot of makeup.
Then there was this one guy that made a Jack o lantern and left a knife in it. This was before people were thieving bastards.
And we got ambushed by this one dude who'd been in the 'Nam. He had his face painted and was wearing what I now know to be ERDLS, and a boonie hat. After his wife gave us Kit Kats, he jumped out of the bushes and shot us all will a full auto MAC 10 squirt gun. Then ran back off laughing like a kid.
Then there was this black couple that put on comical Afros and dressed up like a pimp and a foxy lady. They would talk soul jive and hand out those caramel squares. They were blasting all kinds of boogie woogie and disco from their house and not in an overbearing way.
Ah..youth. Nowadays I turn off all my lights and don't answer the door. If I'm even home.

I will dress up as Bloomberg and run around (with my buddies dressed up as armed security of course) checking that nobody exceeds their State-decreed candy limits. It's for your own good, see?
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was unable to don my Man From H.I.C.C.U.P outfit. But I have been passing out the old Hot Wheels my sons and I have collected over the years. Surprisingly, they've been a big hit! With the exception of the first two tween girls who knocked on my door (they looked looked confused as I dropped the cars in their loot bags) all the kids were excited. "Look! I got a Hot Wheels!" They seemed to like that better than a candy bar!
I even had some older kids come knock on the door when they saw what their younger siblings got. Since the older kids were watching the little ones and weren't collecting candy for themselves, I gave'm a pass and a car.
It's been fun watching their faces light up, especially the kid in the WWII Captain America outfit
