Now that it's that time of year again, I find myself thinking of embarrassing moments from Halloween past. Just a few of them:
* My family was broke, so when my friends got full costumes, I always had just a cheap mask. Imagine having a ninja mask but wearing it with your regular clothes. Got made fun of a lot for that.
* The time my cousins dumped the entire bucket of candy with a "take one" sign on it into my bag because my bag had the most room. I didn't really want to take it all, but I let them do it. Then, when their mom found out what they did, they blamed it on me, and since the candy was in my bag, my aunt believed it. She walked me back to that house and made me knock on the door and "confess" to stealing the candy.
* My brother still makes fun of me for the time we went to a house and knocked on the door. An old lady answers and we hold out our bags for the candy. Old lady says, "What are you supposed to say?" Me, an idiot, says "Give me candy". The other kids say "trick or treat", and the lady looks at me like I'm an a-hole.

When I was a kid... The first time a neighbor put CASH into my bag... I expected candy, and I was like WTF?... I didn't say anything directly to the neighbor, but as my Dad and I walked away I did make some nasty comment to my Dad... I really hope that neighbor didn't hear me...
As I look back on it, I realize it was a good idea... You don't have to worry about razor blades in the candy... And later you can go buy the candy (or other things) that you really like...
Seriously, how many times have we ALL gotten candy from neighbors that we didn't like?
I think as "Neighbors" we all buy candy, that we can eat if there are any left over... but that doesn't mean that every kid likes it.

The Jerry Seinfeld bit about parents putting winter jackets & stuff on you over your costume was spot on for me 1-2yrs I think.
My last trick or treating was probably when I was 13, a friend had merely put an old hockey mask on his face & that's it. It wasn't fun, more just a hang. We got a lot of raisins that night - probably saved for older kids.

We got a lot of raisins that night - probably saved for older kids. When I was a young kid, My Dad was in the Air Force, and we were stationed at Minot AFB, North Dakota... I remember one Halloween, we had an early taste of Winter with lots of snow on the ground, and extremely cold temperatures... Trick or Treating through the neighborhoods was cancelled... But the base did have one of those "community" events at the Recreation Center, where parents could take their kids and get some treats, and have some fun and get prizes for the best costume... I had this very cheap store bought plastic Darth Vader costume that I wore... But to get to the Recreation Center, I had to wear the usual Arctic Gear type apparel one would expect to see most people wear in the middle of winter... and then took I that off, once I was inside... Yeah, it wasn't the first and only time, I went trick or treating on a cold Halloween Night... It is embarrassing and it sucks... Unless you go as a Snow Skier, or something like that. LOL!

I was giving out candy to the trick-or-treaters when one kid, a young teenager, showed up in a Nazi uniform. So what are you supposed to say--"nice costume"?

I came out of a bathroom and stepped in vomit. A group of dudes outside only halfheartedly tried to stop and laughed their tits off after.
Last year I went as Uber Jason from Jason X because I'd already assembled a costume for a video. Most people didn't get it, but the ones that did mostly dug it - except these guys who yelled "Jason in space sucked!" which they weren't really wrong about.
Not "embarassing" so much, but a club on the Vegas strip was letting guests in for free. We wait in line for about two hours, get to the door, and they said they changed it a few people in front of us and now they're charging $50. We bailed and by then the night was pretty dead. I'd made these great (imo) Watchmen costumes so I was pissed.

Not embarrassing, just a story.
I remember being really confused my first year at college. We were driving downtown near a club on Halloween and there were a bunch college girls walking down the street in diapers and tanks tops. I remember thinking, that's legal? I guess it is legal to just walk around in public in a diaper.
My girlfriend at the time made a comment about the girls being a target for rapists. That confused me too. I remember thinking, rapists like college girls in diapers? That seemed strange to me. Anyways, that's my college girls in diapers in public on Halloween story.

Thought I'd add one more. Not embarrassing, but memorable for the wrong reasons. So, when I was a kid, my mom would often decide things were "devilish" for arbitrary reasons and forbid us from partaking in a things involving said devilishness. For instance, dragons were devilish, so she didn't want us watching shows or movies with dragons in them.
Well, one year I was about twelve or thirteen and thought I was getting a bit old for trick or treating. I figured this would be my last year, and I wanted to make it count. About a week before Halloween, my mom tells me I can't trick or treat because Halloween is devilish. This had never been an issue before, but like I said, she was very arbitrary with these things. On Halloween night, she leaves to go visit my aunt's house (not the same aunt from my original post), and I spent the night at home alone being miserable. My mom comes home...and tells me how she and my aunt took my cousins trick or treating around their neighborhood. I was like, "Are you kidding me?!"
So that's the story of the time I was cheated out of my last trick or treat.
