I know its a little early to be bringing up Halloween, but its my second favorite holiday after Thanksgiving, so I just couldn't wait. I was wondering what everyone else does on or around Halloween. Being a new englander I usually head out to Salem, Massachusetts for a pretty wild time, but this year I am thinking about being in a big costumed Halloween parade in my hometown of Portsmouth. I know a large amount of people out there are massholes, so has anyone else gone out to Salem for Halloween?

That, and I do a scary movie festival each year, does anyone have any "standards" that they watch every year? I generally watch the original Romero Dead trilogy, the Werner Herzog Nosferatu, the Shining, and then fill in the rest with either cult classics or foreign films I've heard about. I'm always open to reccomendations.

This is also the year I get really good at carving pumpkins, I swear.
