What was the most outrageous costume you saw on Halloween? Or the craziest story you heard?

I went to college in Boulder, CO. They had this very interesting tradition of the Naked Pumpkin Run on Halloween night. The runners would gather together at undisclosed location, strip, pop on a pumpkin head, and run around downtown.

The police, of course, would attempt to make a few arrests, but they changed the place of the run every year so they never knew where to go. I unfortunately was unable to see any run in person (I always forgot about it, and when I finally did remember the last year I was there, we'd all gathered in the wrong part of town), but see for yourself what it's like!

This story comes from 2008 in my own neighborhood. The teens one street beyond ours set up their front yard to look like a graveyard. Some were dressed in long coats and white face paint with heavy black eyes and strange mouths.

There was a lot of brutality, going on, screaming, what appeared to be someone in a hole digging, people lying on the ground, with fake blood, some screaming and crawling toward the street. These kids taunted adults and children as they passed. On my own street a group of teens dressed in black, some with the long coats (again).

They wore expressionless white masks and walked extremely slow around their lawn, driveway and even into the streets as others trick or treated. I was told that much of this was taken from a movie called Clockwork Orange, though I'm not familiar with it.

Two costumes come to mind. During my senior year in my Catholic one student showed up as a pregnant nun. Needless to say, he was sent home and suspended for the rest of the week.

Another time I was at Fantasy Festival in Key West and a May-December couple had a very provocative combo. He was dressed as the Pope and she was a very very naughty school girl. I am not sure what was more shocking.

Watching the Pope fondling a school girl or watching a mid 80 year old man making out with an 18 year old. I still get nightmares.

When I was in school, in Bellingham, WA, there was always a ton of people in the street on Halloween. One year there was a man dressed as a cowboy riding a horse around downtown. Everyone that saw him was blown away.

I'm not quite sure where he got the horse but I'm pretty sure that he didn't order it online. Wes costumecity.com.

Sometimes you think you know the person you married so well. Then they tell you a story of their youth and you picture them in a different light! On Halloween night we were at a party with a group of friends.My husband revealed that when he was a teenager, he and a group of friends stole an outhouse.

They hoisted it on a truck and dropped it off at the town square! It made front page news the next day. Folks in that small town looked at it as a "devilish deed".

Yep, and I just happen to be married to one of the little devils!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
