Halloween Memories

Trick or Treating

When I was little, I couldn't wait for Halloween. I used to get dressed up in my

karate costume and go out trick or treating with my parents & school friends. We'd

walk pretty far from home taking turns ringing the doorbell. There were some that'd

answer and some that wouldn't.

There was one house I was afraid to go up and it was located at the end of my
street. I remember the front lights would flicker and went the door opened, I was
overcome with the strong stench of cigarette smoke.

What I really enjoyed about going out was all different kinds of candy me & my

friends would receive. We would divvy up the candy, making sure we all got the same

amount.

Now that I'm older, I don't really look forward to since I'm too old to go out and
don't have any kids. As an adult I just stay home and watch scary movies on TV.
I also like eating candy on Halloween.

Nostalgic Things

Being an 80's kid, here are a few things I am nostalgic for in my childhood:

1). Watching cartoons on TV including He-Man, Transformers, GI Joe, Voltron,

Thundercats, & Muppet Babies. Also the X men cartoon on FOX.

2). Playing Nintendo games with my brother.

3). Waiting on Sunday nights to watch the Simpsons & my favorite comedy show

"In Living Color"

4). Getting home late at night after playing on a basketball team for my school.

5). If I finished my homework early, I got the chance to watch Reading Rainbow
on KQED.

My Favorite Movie: Ghostbusters

One of my favorite movies is the 1984 scifi/comedy "Ghostbusters". It stars SNL

alums Bill Murray & Dan Akyroyd as paranormal scientists investigating paranormal

occurrences in a woman's (Sigourney Weaver) apartment. The late Harold Ramis
is Egon Spenger, the inventor of the team. Ernie Hudson joins the team as Winston
Zedmore, an ordinary guy looking for a paycheck. They have a secretary named Janine
played by Annie Potts. This movie features good comedic moments & decent action
scenes. Despite this movies effects not holding up, it's still worth a watch.
