Yes, it's the time of ghouls and hobgoblins, zombies and witches, pumpkins and things that go "ARRGGGHHHHHHHHH!" in the night...Australia doesn't really DO Halloween, but I always like to post something vaguely appropriate to the day, especially given that I'm a fan of the strange and macabre...
Last year it was a Halloween meme... the year before a list of Halloween safety tips... this year, it's quizzes...
So if you'll excuse me, since the weather is co-operating with a cool, overcast and occasionally rainy day, I'm going to go and dig out a bunch of scary movies from my collection and have myself a big ol' horror day...
| You Could Be a Vampire... If You Had To |
 Like most people, the thought of being a vampire has crossed your mind. But you're not sure if you'd do it, even if you could. Living forever doesn't sound half bad, if you could live forever with the people you love the most. But do vampires even love? And would the vampire version of you even be you? It's all too much to contemplate. Luckily, the chances of you ever becoming a vampire are astronomically low. What you would like best about being a vampire: Living forever What you would like least about being a vampire: Blood stained teeth |
| You Are a Werewolf |
 You're unpredictable, moody, and downright freaky. You seem sweet and harmless, until you snap. Then you're a total monster. Very few people can predict if you're going to be Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde. But for you, all your transformations seem perfectly natural. Your greatest power: Your ability to tap into nature Your greatest weakness: Lack of self control You play well with: Vampires |
| What Your Halloween Habits Say About You |
 A bit of an introvert, you like the special occasions just as much as everyone else. You just have your own unique way of celebrating Halloween. You're weird. You're downright deviant. And you use dressing up in a costume as an excuse to act out. Your inner child is open minded, playful, and adventurous. You truly fear the dark side of humanity. You are a true misanthrope. You're prone to be quite emotional and over dramatic. Deep down, you enjoy being scared out of your mind... even if you don't admit it. You are picky and high maintenance. If you wear a Halloween costume, it's only when you really feel like it. And it has to be perfect. |

Halloween... bah! humbug! (or whatever the equivalent sentiment is for halloween). We always did Guy Fawkes Night when I grew up, despite being catholic.
LOL... "Boo! Hobgoblin!" perhaps?
But GFN isn't for another six days... and, you know, being Australia, I don't do that either... there pretty much isn't anything holiday-wise between now and Christmas for us...
Ummm... and what does GFN have to do with being Catholic? Seriously... I have no idea... I thought it was more a political thing... or was he a Prodesant? And did I even spell that right?
Guy Fawkes was the leader of a group of Catholics who tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament on 5th November 1605 in the gunpowder plot in order to kill James I, the Protestant King.
Guy Fawkes Night celebrates the failure of the Gunpower plot - a "Guy" is thrown on a bonfire and there are fireworks (gunpowder etc).
Its political meaning has largely gone (it was 402 years ago after all!) but still strict Catholics don't celebrate it.
And no, it's got a T not a D! :P
I knew all the political details (after all I have seen V For Vendetta :P) but not the religious bits... or that Catholics didn't celebrate... but it makes sense... you're not going to throw your own "hero" on the fire now are you...
