Thread: Halloween Blues

Tweet

I'm getting the Halloween blues. My friends and I usually have a small party together- guests average about 12 steady guests and about 2 more people stop by for part of the party. It's an intimate, small scale get together. For various reasons, we'll prob. be down 7 people this year. 5 of us could still show up, but the other party goers aren't very excited this year because we're down so many people, and the hostess and host decided they might as well cancel, as a result. Another friend usually throws a party, too, and I try to stop in to that, but I'm not sure if she's going to this year

Some of us had thought about going to Waverly Hills, but the half night and whole night tours were booked up when we called, and all that is left are 2 hour tours, which don't even include the death tunnel. We're really not interested in going right on Halloween, anyway, since they decorate it and have a party, and we think it would be creepier without anything "fake". I like decorations, but I prefer my supposedly real haunted places, au naturel. I like decorations to be reserved for fake haunted houses and reg. homes. One of the others who wanted to go, feels the same way.

Another friend is throwing a small party, but they are throwing it with another friend of theirs, as is a tradition with them. This other friend of theirs wouldn't be too welcoming of me. So, I'm opting out of going to that, even though, I don't think they would run me off. If I'm not welcome by both hosts, I'd feel uncomfortable and very rude. I can't expect my friend not to do this, since they are friends with this other person, too, and it is their tradition to have the party. Besides, it's fun for them. It just sucks that I can't go. I like Halloween and I want something to do.

So, I'm feeling pretty rejected....after all, one friend is having a party where I'm not welcome (though that isn't their fault), and so many of my other friends are choosing not to come this year, to the party I normally attend (or else they can't), that the people who host it and their other visitors, just called it quits. The other party I go to might be canceled. No one knows of many local haunted spots that aren't also inhabited by living people. The local one I hoped to go to is torn down. The one I hoped to go to a few hours away is booked up. So, now I have basically nothing to do. The one thing I was looking forward to was my costume. Due to issues with body paint, that might not even end up being done well. If I can't do it well, I'll prob. either get a diff. costume I don't want as much, or just forgo dressing up at all, and stay at home.

sorry about your situation. We recently relocated and know no one. If it wasn't for the yard haunt display it wouldn't even feel like Halloween. Better luck next year.

Oh, I'm so so sorry. You say you'll still have a couple/few people? Why not make it the BEST Halloween party ever by sneaking into a graveyard or something? You'd be surprised how much fun you can have with just a few people.

It WILL be Halloween. It will...and you will have fun. It will be a wonderful night for you.

I know all about personality conflicts. Last night's hallow/bday party for my kiddo of course my exwife has to attend. My current wife hid away in the bedroom (she don't like her either). The ex then pissed off my sis who then left with her hubby and her teenager (no loss there I don't like my bros in law anyway). So then me and the ex's current husband (on her third now I was 1st) we tried to sneak away from her (we like each other better than her LOL) but she found us drinking together hiding from the kids on the back porch.

The kids had fun but pissed off my neighbor who won't return my calls today (somehow a bunch wandered over into his yard for what I don't know) and me? Today I'm a bit hung over. But at least my boy got the gift he wanted most from me and his step father we pitched together on, and the kiddo got up early and cleaned up the place by himself. He's a great kid!

So cheer up and understand you may be avoiding a lot of hassle?

If you go to Waverly Hills take the latest 2 hour tour you can. If you do they let you go down the body shute. Cause there's no one waiting. I love that place it is SO CREEPY you can just feel it. You will not be disappointed.
