Several years ago my housemate and I were deathly ill with an intestinal bug on Halloween. We put a sign on the door that said plague house. Didn’t get a single knock.
I have my surgeon’s outfit ready to go, with mask and gloves. All I need now is to bloody it up some. Oh, yeah — and trick or treaters. I’ll need a few of those!
We live on an unlit cul-de-sac out in the woods. In the almost 23 years we have lived here I don’t believe we’ve had a single trick-or-treater. Not expecting any this year either. For a few years we would buy a couple of bags of candy (only something we liked) and carved a pumpkin but we’ve even given up that.

When I was a kid, almost all Halloween costumes included a mask

Don’t forget about the Dread Pirate Robert.
He predicted this whole thing.

All great costume ideas, each a legit choice on its own. It is simply their time. Let it be.

They aren’t that popular. The same three kids have been back to her house seventeen times…

I lean towards the “Full Containment Suit” costume with authentic filtered air tank.

Oh we’re just preparing for the economic collapse in November. Get ready for a 1800’s relapse! We take can foods, leather goods, and melee weapons.

Mask humor was okay for awhile but has gotten stale, and I wonder how long it will be until it runs its course.
