The traditional haunted house Halloween decorations is a dark or black lit room. It can be in a room of your house, in a basement or a garage. Lead people through and ask them to touch various "dead body parts". Be sure to tell them what they are touching. All the "body parts" should be cold and oiled. Several props and assistants dressed in spooky costumes will help make your haunted house successful.
SCREAMS: Nothing will do like the real thing. Get several of your friends together and let loose.

Halloween, already? Rim me out, you cunt!

Once upon a time at Halloween, you would put on your mother’s underwear, an old opera hat from the wardrobe and out you went as Lisa Minnelli.

It was a great time. You got to run with the poor kids from the village, taking your chances among the perverts and the old women who put razor blades in the apples. Evil bitch-cunts.

And there was money to be made! Fr Brennan would give you more if you sat in his lap, the filthy old cunt. You could get a few bob for your sister’s knickers out the laundry, (the pishier the better). And there was “the spoils of war“, ie anything you could swipe while the old dear was away searching for her pension money. Served them right too, careless trusting cunts.
Well, not any fucking more!

From today, the shops are full of shitey American pumpkins, ready carved with flashing LED units installed, wankey witches outfits that are total gash, and cheap monkey nuts full of mould and worms. What a cunty shithole we’re turning into.

The little cunts are brought to your door by beanfaced parents in purring 4x4s. When you open the door they shout “trick or treat” in nasally Californian accents. This is fucking Perthshire you cuntspittals. There’s no song or dance, no poem learned through tears and the prompting of granny’s stick,-there’s fuck all! Just their grasping little mitts, and mummy in the background to make sure you don’t feel them up. “Don’t flatter yourself madam, your mewling brood are the pot-ugliest cunts of the night so far, Fred West himself wouldn’t touch them! I wish you good evening.” But if you don’t give the cuntish little brats an i-pod or gameboy, they put your fucking windows in.
Garn! Cunts!
Dr Locum.
