For myself, I'll be in a costume I threw together1. And at work. Most of the day. I won't get home till after most trick-or-treaters have stopped making the rounds. Not that I expect we'll get many anyway, as our house scares the kids and our two front doors confuse people2.

1From the neck down it'll be things from my closet, but the mask is cobbled together from a variety of things. It actually looks pretty neat, though it's not quit edone yet. Yes, there will be pictures. No, I'm not giving more detail before I post pictures.
2Not side-by-side, either. From the "front" of the house the path splits leading to two small concrete patios, each with a front door. These doors lead to two different rooms with a room between them. It's really kinda weird. Whenever someone knocks at the door I end up checking both front doors 'cause I'm not sure which one they were at. Same with when UPS drops off packages... sometimes they leave the package at one door, sometimes the other.
). Though I should get one; Halloween is my birthday.We don't get any trick-or-treaters here, either. It's not so much that our house is scary (though I s'pose it could be), but we're the only residence on our block. There used to be one other, but she was mean and didn't like children and pretended she wasn't home; the city owns that house now (it's one of the oldest blocks in the city, and the houses have all fallen into city hands over the years, usually after being donated; one is used for functions, one is a museum, one is the library, one is the historical society's archives, and one still has descendants of the original family [us] living there). The kiddies don't bother coming this way just for one house, but occasionally we get a group or two so we'll have candy ready.

You should put a sign on one telling people to go to the other. Or get different-sounding doorbells.
Was the house at one time two seperate units?
I'm not sure what I'll be yet. The wife and I are both trying to think up some last minute costume ideas. It just felt like Halloween snuck up on me this year so I didn't think up a costume idea. I was thinking of stuff from slutty female to black mage to zombie someone, but still have no idea...
And for some odd reason, I actually like giving out candy to the kids. Normally, I dispise children, but I guess I like the idea of costuming and stuff. Pretty odd, but I guess that's just how I roll.
Nice, you should still be a bro or tool for Halloween, Zombie_Babies!
I'm actually busy that day. Heh. It was mostly a joke but I really do think it'd be funny to do ... well, at least 'til one of the real d-bags asks me what I'm supposed to be and I tell him.
Setting up the house with tombstones and the like, and really, I wish I had a fog machine, but I don't have the scratch.
and that's about all the excitement I could handle...

A sign might work, but there is no doorbell in the first place.

Don't think so, unless there was some serious remodelling afterwards. Mostly it's just a strange old house. There's no hallways, no closets, no windows that open, most of the doorways have a window above them to let light through, a strangely placed large bay window. The bathroom is tacked on (literally, it's obviously not part of the same foundation as the rest of the house), the kitchen about the same, there's four doors to the outside, speaking of doors, not a single door or window frame in the entire house is straight. All the glass is either custom-fitted or had copious amounts of sealent to make up for the not-right angles.
Did I mention that all the hanger-space is open to the rooms (like I said, no closets)? In one of the bedrooms there's just a metal rod going between two walls. Anyone walks through and they see everything in our "closet". The lack of closets also means that all our linens and things are in chests instead of on shelves.
It's a pretty weird house.

I may or may not dress up for Halloween...
If I do, I'll just throw on my Eddie costume - on the 30th, one of the New England area Rocky Horror casts is doing a show at the casino near my house, and I'm on call as a backup performer in case something comes up (I'm packing my Crimmie, Dr. Scott and Eddie costumes, since I don't know which part I may have to cover).
I dunno if I'm really gonna feel like dressing up two nights in a row, so if I do end up performing on the 30th, I probably won't get dressed up Halloween night.
I'm just walking around with a plush Cthulhu.

one of the bloated squishy ones?
I haven't dressed up for Halloween since... '96?
I did once in the 2ks but it was for a house party thing. Before that I honestly can't remember the last time. I know it was before '96 that I stopped dressin' up.
I keep meaning to. But meh. I don't really do anything special on halloween.
Then again, I don't really do anything special on most holidays.
I'm not dressing for Halloween because we have no Halloween.
