Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!--with my homage to Edvard Munch's "The Scream" (Skrik)

Hey, nice likeness Kurt! To The Scream of course, not you. 

[KurtS]

  Thanks...my other pumpkins weigh 100lbs, and are too much work. This was a perfect size to carve.

"The Scream of course, not you."

LOL...Edvard Munch and I share the same birthday--but luckily I share no resemblance to his Scream

Luckily?  That guy in the Scream is worth millions.   I should think you'd want that resemblance.

[KurtS]

I should think you'd want that resemblance.

--if the markets/economy continue by their present trends, I may take on that face.

Thanks Kurt, My eldest daughter had a costume party celebrating the Halloween at school last Thursday and I spent the last wednesday evening searching for the "Screem" costume and Mask with her and this was the scary part for me.

My little guy actually had a Scream mask that would bleed down across the face when he pumped the heart he was caring in his hand. One little guy in town who noticed the bleeding asked "How is he doing that" with a look of shock on his face. Oh, don't worry I replied, I just hit him real hard with a hammer before we left the house. He should bleed for a while yet!

EgCollector, TwoShadows--
That sounds like fun with your kids.    I was seeing a lot of "Scream" masks on kids too--even the bleeding one!

Halloween is not celebrated much here in Australia but there are some trying to bring it in and to get kids involved in it.

I think it is a commercial decision to sell more product by these people.

I already celebrate the 31st October as it is my wedding anniversary (39 years this time) and I used to say that "we are starting a new month on a new life".

Now I get some great "Halloween" comments from some people (in jest) but I think anything that help our kids enjoy life is worth it, so when a kids knocks on my door for "trick or treat" they get some sweets that I have waiting.

I have never had anyone come around on Halloween. I think I would end up with the trick, as I don't really have anything to give if they did come.

Halloween is not celebrated in Egypt too, except for international schools. But if the kids are going to have fun, why not. As you say Barry;

.. but I think anything that help our kids enjoy life is worth it,..

I agree
