Halloween Meme

Edit: Thanks, Kris, for pointing out that there was no #7. Somehow I skipped that! It's in there now.

Sariah in Vancouver tagged me, and while I seem to have taken forever to actually do this, it looked like fun. Here goes!

1. What's the scariest movie you've ever seen?
I actually scare very easily, so I tend to not watch scary movies. However, Scream freaked me out a bit (I didn't want to answer the phone for a few days), and The Blair Witch Project had me sleeping with the lights on for a week. Oh wait, no, I spent hours the next day online just making sure it wasn't real. What kept the lights on was, I believe, The Sixth Sense. I enjoy that there is closure in that movie, so it's not too bad. And I actually screamed in the movie theatre during What Lies Beneath. Oooooh, a very scary Harrison Ford!! I have never seen any of the Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, or Poltergeist movies, nor do I plan to.

2. What was your favorite Halloween Costume from childhood, and adulthood?
I remember being Maid Marian one year, and that was really fun. And I was a witch one year and I got to spray my hair black and wear really long fake nails. That was really exciting for this little 4th grader! As an adult, I always want to dress up, but don't have the cash. A few years ago I was Homestar Runner, and that was fun (even if only a select few teenagers knew who I was), and in college one year I just dressed normal so when anyone asked what I was, I replied, "I'm a serial killer. They look like the rest of us you know." It worked.

3. If you had an unlimited budget, what would your Fantasy Costume be for this Halloween?
I would go all out with a period costume... like Scarlett O'Hara or a Renaissance Princess or something. That'd be so fun. I've always wanted to be a pirate wench, but those costumes tend to be so slutty looking, and that is SO not what I want, so I would have someone make me a really cool costume with that theme. And I would make my family all dress up in the same themes as me.

4. When was the last time you went Trick Or Treating?
Wednesday night. It was the ward Halloween party! And we're going for real tomorrow night. But then again, that's not for me. It's for the kids. Last time I went and got candy for just me? I honestly don't remember.

5. What's your favorite Halloween Candy?
Anything chocolate!! (with no nuts) Once again, the darker the chocolate, the better. And candy corn (because that is a Halloween staple, right?).

6. Tell us about a scary nightmare you had.
I had one a couple years ago where someone had broken into our apartment and did something to me where I literally couldn't move (and also couldn't wake up from the nightmare, and when I did, I still couldn't move my body for several minutes for some reason) and I had to watch as they killed Ches and went after Aiden (I was pregnant with Dallin at the time). I couldn't even scream to Ches for help before he was killed.

7. What is your Supernatural Fear?
Anything to do with ghosts. I seriously believe in them, and they scare me more than anything. Oh, and I'm a little nervous about vampires (I've watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes waaaaaay too much to be healthy for me!).

8. What is your Creepy-Crawlie Fear?
Any bugs crawling on me and through my hair. EW!!! I had a cockroach actually do that once, and I'm still completely freaked out about it.

9. Tell us about a time when you saw a ghost, or heard something go Bump in the night.
Well, thankfully I haven't seen a ghost (that I remember), because that is one of my biggest fears. However, one summer Ches and I were driving from southern California to Utah, and we got to stay in a friend's condo in Mesquite, NV for the night. In the middle of the night I woke up, completely freaked out for some reason, and I couldn't settle down. I felt like either something was there or something really bad was going to happen. I finally woke Ches up and said, "We have to leave, now." He was so confused, but indulged me. We got some donuts and drove around for a little bit until I was calmed down, then went back to the condo. I felt fine, and we went back to sleep.

10. Would you ever stay in a real Haunted House overnight?
Heck no!! I've seen those programs on TV, and that scares me enough!

11. Are you a traditionalist (just a face) Jack O'Lantern Carver, or do you get really creative with your pumpkins?
Pretty much just a traditionalist, but I think next year we're gonna do all sorts of crazy stuff!! I really like Sariah in Vancouver's pumpkin from last year, and I'd like to try that out.

12. How much do you decorate your home for Halloween?
Not much... yet. We are slowly getting things, and someday I'll have the coolest house in the neighborhood. After we have our debts paid off.

13. What do you want on your Tombstone?
Beloved wife, mother, friend.

Okay, I tag Alyson, Dana, Kris, and Laural. I won't be hurt if you don't do it (since tomorrow is Halloween and all), but all y'all would sure be fun to read!!
