For the "Rice is Strange" costume, it's basically a mistranslation from the Chinese factory. The Chinese characters for "Rice Strange" and "Mickey" are nearly identical, so whoever did the packaging flubbed the translation and no one corrected them before it shipped.
To everyone not getting their make up off: if water doesn't work, try oil or fat! (Oily skin cream, butter, any oils) also works with permanent markers
@@katiesalvadore7306 witchhazle can actually dry skin out, so what you can use instead is rice water or oatmilk with a touch of Johnson and Johnson to prevent skin from breaking out.
When we moved into our house, we did a whole sleeping beauty theme, I dressed as Maleficent and my niece dressed as Aurora. We had green light, fog machine, glow sticks in the grass and bushes to look like ferries, a spinning wheel, music, the whole shabang. We had 3 trick-or-treaters all night. No one wanted to walk up the hilly street to get to us. We were so disappointed.
my whole neighborhood is on a pretty steep hill and the popular neighborhood was next door, so every year until my late 20s i would make that trek to hit as many houses as i could. since everyone was happy to see anyone come by (often i was the only visitor), id get handfuls of candy at most houses. id made off like a bandit for the cost of a hike. worth it!
Those wide-thighed pants are accurate to stars wars and even in the military. They are based on a style called jodhpurs, and are from equestrian and cavalry traditions in which the thigh needs extra space for saddle maneuvering, but the calves and area from the knee down requires a tighter fit so that it can be tucked into riding boots. After the need for horses was no longer a need in the military, it became stylized and eventually phased out, although you’ll see people who ride and work with horses still wear them today (though the invention of stretchy fabrics makes the style not necessary).
Those jodhpurs were EXCESSIVE though! Equestrian jodhpurs don't actually have that extra fabric anymore, they just kept the name. They are instead more like tights made out of thicker material.
I have had one of those boardroom experiences... Because my train was delayed. I got at the office late on Halloween and went strait to a meeting that the whole upper management team was attending. The day before, coworkers had told me that employees could dress up, which I thought meant most people would. Upon entering the boardroom, i quickly realized that I was the only one dressed up (very elaborate gothic masquerade costume will a mask covering the upper half of my face). Keep in mind that I had been working at the company for only two weeks and most people had not met me yet (large multinational corporation). I took a seat as discreetly as possible and pretended that everything was normal. At some point, the discussion was about my field of expertise, so I took the floor and started providing information. After about 3 minutes, the president (who had actually met me but obviously hadn't recognized me) said: "And WHO the hell are you?!?!?!?"
The no trick or treaters one reminded me of my neighbors. Their Halloween decorations were really good!! One time they made their entire yard into a graveyard, hang a swing in their tree, seated an Annabelle doll on it, and made her look at the people that came close to their house. The entire family also loved dressing up as monsters and killer clowns, it just was a really cool experience in general. Unfortunately, their house is really hard to see if you don't enter into the curve that conforms the house layout in our street, not to mention that there's barely any people with Halloween spirit in it, which makes most trick or treaters turn away from us. Because of this, only a few children that already knew what they do (plus my siblings) go and enjoy their decorations. About 4 years ago they stopped doing it, I guess that it was because of the low audience. Still remember their incredible work
That’s such a bummer. There’s no trick or treaters at our place either. Though we are on a private road, so I guess it makes sense. But it does take the fun out of the holiday 😭
I am a diabetic also true im not overloading on sugar and other stuff but i do moderate my chocolate intake. Still have to take pills and a shot for the rest of my life and other health risks super fun
@@wulf76.... You totaly missed the point there. No one finds it funny that anyone is ill but that was not what the "joke" was about. The teachers fail was funny and people with diabetes where not the butt of the joke, so what is the problem?
@@wulf76 ive been diabetic for 30 years, i take 6 injections a day, i have neuropathy and gone blind on 1 eye so im very aware of how unfunny diabetes is !!!! However, im laughing at an honest mistake, with the best intentions a teacher made because of a childs speach impairment. So clearly i was not laughing at the diabetes but at the situation!!! i try to find funny where i can because life is hard enough as it is! As a fellow diabetic we should be on the same team, instead you pass judgment on me for having a laugh!
I worked at a small electronics factory that took Halloween pretty seriously. This one woman always bicycled to work, several miles. She was very tall and very thin. She came as a frog in green leotard and tights with neon green paper spots all over, swim goggles and swim flippers - while riding her bike. It was a little scary watching her ride (I biked too) since her control wasn't great with the extra equipment.
I thought u were going to say she dressed as Margaret half in Witch mode & half in Mrs. Gulch mode from The Wizard Of Oz! Tall, half green, riding a bike, with basket, carrying a broom, maybe a little Toto in her basket?
@@marshawargo7238 oh my, you made me laugh. She would have had to do an awful lot of makeup or buy a mask for that. As it was she stole the dot stickers from work and everything else was something she already had.
For anyone contemplating full-face makeup for Halloween: Get some Albolene cream (it's a cold cream). Apply a generous amount to your face and wait about 10 minutes. Then wipe off the excess but leave a thin coat on your face. Apply your face make up. When you're ready to remove the make up, apply a generous amount of the Albolene, wait a bit and then wipe it off with a soft cloth. Repeat as needed, and then wash with soap. I was a clown way back in the day, and the darker colors (red, black) can stain your skin. The Albolene cream before and after helps a ton! Also, if you need to apply multiple colors, put on the lightest color (for a clown it's the white) over your whole face. Use a cotton swab to remove the white where you want to put other colors. That way you don't dilute the darker colors with the lighter base and it leaves a cleaner line where they meet. The star wars costume is supposed to be jodhpurs (riding pants) so they have the bulge at the side. Look at uniforms the big-wigs wore in Germany during WWII. Same sort of look. That costume could be salvaged by sewing the seam closer to the body.
The defeat of the folks who were excited for trick or treaters and didn't get any is a defeat I have felt many times. Thankfully I now live in a neighborhood that has tons of them!
YES! It’s so sad, cause they’re so excited! It reminds me of one year on Halloween, I was trick or treating, and my friends dared me to go to one house that no kids were going to. My folks said it was cool, so it wasn’t like… you know, a bad person house at least. I went up, knocked, and this super old lady in a wheelchair was at the door. She was so excited to see me! She gave me a hug, let me and my parents inside, asking how a lass named Sherry was, gave me a literal bowlful of candy (she had multiple bowls set up). Honestly, my parents and I just thought she was being really nice… until a younger lass came from upstairs, and asked about us. The old lady said “It’s Michael and Sadie, and Lucy Goose! You don’t think I’d forget my own kids and grandkids, would you?” Turns out the lady had dementia, and it freaked a lot of kids out, so no one went there. The lady loved Halloween, and was always really sad when no one came by. The younger lass was her caretaker, also very nice. I tried to tell everyone that the lady was nice, and she was chill, and no one believed me, or just didn’t change their mind about her. It was a year before I moved away, so I never saw her again. I hope she’s doing ok. It’s been years now, and I still remember it vividly. She was so sweet, and had a big house with only one other person in it, and… it made my heart ache.
@Monroe Robbins Oh my goodness! That absolutely breaks my heart. I'm so glad she had at least one good trick or treat that Halloween, I'm sure she and her caretaker were really touched.
I can relate so much to these poor guys who waited to give out candies and were disappointed. My first Halloween after I moved out of my parents, I had gone all out. Full costume, super large candy bowl and too many carved pumpkins. Literally no one came trick or treating in our street. I only gave out candy to my landlord’s children. I was so disappointed. Halloween is my favourite holiday.
Where I use to live, we got alot of kids on halloween. Where I live now, we hardly get any, so disapointing. As i loved to dress up and then hand candy out.
I would never move into an HOA that put any bans or limits on holidays, especially Halloween. I decorate my yard and give out full size candy bars. To be fair the Grinch didn't hate Christmas, he hated people... which is fair.
While I HATE my HOA and am actively looking to buy another house, ours at least has costume parties, and parades, decorating contests, trunk or treating etc…
@@amatije a horrible group of Karen’s. It’s a home owners association for a neighborhood. They make rules and collect dues and some are bigger pain in the butts than necessary some are cruel. If for some reason you can’t make your payment to them they can put a lien on your house and sell it.
I'm part of a professional belly dance cosplay troupe. We LOVE Halloween, and no costuming ever gets thrown away by us, because we can use it to create other costume pieces. We shop people's second hand costume sales all the time. This weekend we'll be fairies at the Renaissance Faire, and next weekend we'll dress up (and dance) for a pirate themed murder mystery.
I can relate to the people disappointed to not have trick-or-treaters. Every year I would make fun bags of candy but the local kids must've aged out and lately no one comes around. Now, I just make sure we have candy, just in case. On the plus side, it's fun to see that some kids and adults still have fun with Halloween!!! (I love that Charlotte Dobre still enjoys Halloween!!!)
I wish adult trick or treating would become a norm because that would be awesome. Everyone who wants to dress up and show off can have so much fun, and we can enjoy their display and effort. Everyone loves candy, and for those who can not have sugar you can offer alternatives like beef or chickens sticks or veggie sticks.
We had moved to a new state, Halloween came around and zero trick-or-treaters. Found out that all the kids go to the next town over. We buy a house half way across the state, move in to found out again, no trick-or-treaters here. They go to a different town to trick-or-treat. I swear I'm about to do a reverse trick-or-treat. I'm going to dress up, take a bowl of candy with me and go door to door and hand it out. Go to the stores in town and hand out candy to the employees. If they won't come to me, I'll go to them! lol
Last year for me sucked as my mom lives in a semi old people area of the neighborhood and we only got a few people. My brother and I just decided to go around a bit after our sad attempt of handing out candy as I was dressed as Eddie Brock (Venom)
@@jaggerra7 100% agree with you! I still can't believe states that have an age restriction on trick-or-treating. I rather have people of all ages dressing up and going out trick-or-treating and having fun.
I used to get fliers from the neighborhood letting us know how many kids were diabetic and how many had food allergies. We would have one special bucket of sugar free candy and small toys with coloring books and a small pckt of crayons. I liked that. I loved being able to include all the kids.
Last year was our first halloween in our first home... i sat outside on my driveway with my bowl of candy for 2 hours... not a single trick or treater i was DEVASTATED. To make it worse my family kept telling me how they ran out of candy and had to get more. I sobbed and i am not ashamed of it. Lol. Its my favorite holiday and handing out candy and seeing all the littkes in their costumes is the best part!
When my fiance and I moved into our new house we were SO excited for Halloween. We decked out the whole inside and outside of our house with tons of decorations and when the day of Halloween rolled around we were ready! We had only lived in the house like a month at this point so we didn't know any neighbors yet. So we were on our porch in full costume waiting for the trick-or-treaters and no one was coming. When we spotted a neighbor we asked where everyone was and his response was "That's the devil's holiday. We don't celebrate that in this city." So Cinderella and Prince Charming went tearing through the yard pulling all the decorations down in horror. Apparently our town was quite religious and we weren't aware. Our neighbors were not impressed with their new asshole neighbors. 🙄
Sounds like an unfortunate mismatch for you guys, and worse since it sounds like you had awesome and still family friendly costumes =/ Curious - did the neighbors do anything for Christmas?
Ohhh, I'm so Sorry that they made you feel so out of place as it is not really that big of a deal.. Do they ban Dancing there too as you might have to cut Footloose then
@@Sunari Of course! That's the Lord's day! Easter and Christmas were their favorite! They had a full blown Manger scene in their yard! We didn't have anything scary or offensive. It was like the word "Boo," and pumpkins and some witch's feet sticking out of the ground and ghosts hanging in the trees and some pink, silver and orange glitter skeleton heads in the bushes and some bats hanging and straw bales and some "Happy Halloween" signs and big fake pieces of glitter candy. There wasn't anything gorey or gross or scary. All very G rated and cutesy. Nothing to get upset over. They were just nuts. At Easter they would haul out just their giant Jesus from their Manger scene and park it in their front yard with a hand painted poster that read "He has risen!" I'm sure my pastel glitter eggs and bunnies weren't their favorite!😜
@@stephaniejohnson3327 There's a part of me that wishes the "He has risen" was painted in a dripping blood red paint type fashion even though I know it wasn't XD Not sure why pastel glitter eggs and bunnies would be bad they sound fantastic (unless they were also farmers)
For anyone who freaks out that the makeup isn’t coming off… BABY OIL Oil based make up needs an oil based remover. Simply douse your face with baby oil and rub until the makeup dissolves and starts coming off, then wipe it away with a rag or a paper towel or something like that and it will come right off
it's probably oil based, so using water won't get it off, you gotta use like a makeup cleansing balm or oil lol although some face paints do stain the skin even after removal so patch test is the way to go anyways
The toothbrush thing explained: My mom would hand out tooth brushes for Halloween to just see the pikachu faces of the trick or treaters. After a laugh she'd of course give them candy. For her it was trick and treat, but the toothbrush was a reminder that all that Halloween candy would give them cavities if they didn't brush. It was a fun practical joke, that ultimately had a decent message. Plus the kids still got their candy
My experience with offices and Halloween is it really varies. Working at an arts council though, Halloween is THE event of the year, honestly bigger than Christmas. Costume contests, pumpkin carving contest, storage/meeting room turned into a haunted house, Halloween fair in the lunch room. Even during the pandemic and with everyone working from home they still organized Halloween virtual activities. Christmas is dress up and a party, but Halloween the artistic creativity comes out.
I worked in video game development and yeah oddly enough Halloween was like Christmas and all your birthdays combined and some amazing costumes and make-up
I was so upset one year I was the only one who dressed up at my job when in other years we had better participation. I felt like I wasted my costume on them lol.
I love that SO many ppl don't test for allergies in their make up before they put it on their face and then are surprised when it doesn't come off like just do a swatch test weeks before Halloween to see how long it takes to get off ...
Even though I think you are right about thinking that it is a great idea to do a test patch with their make-up to rule put allergies, that is not the issue happening in this video. People have either used crappy quality make-up that stains, used other products instead of make-up that you are not supposed to use on your skin or they used decent or ok products but used them wrong. I think sometimes your are supposed to use like a primer for the skin to prevent a shield between your skin and the heavy coloured make-up product, to make sure the make-up doesn't stain your skin. Personally, I would only use make-up that doesn't need a barrier and that is made well. When the colour is bound to the other ingredients in the formula, it will not bind to your skin in the way that it will stain your skin. And I would patch test if I don't forget.
@@Freya778 That's my point though if they had done a swatch on their arm before covering their body/face with it then they would have known it would stain or just be painted on their skin but, they didn't do that and that's why this happened.
Here's another story... junior high school was grades 7 - 9. In 7th grade, I was SO EXCITED to dress up as a bunny for Halloween. I wore a bright blue leotard with matching tights. I used one of my roller skate pom poms as a fluffy (and jingley - it had bells) tail. I made a set of bunny ears out of a coat hanger and tin foil. I show up to school and start walking around, slowly realizing that NOBODY dressed for Halloween. I took off the ears, but had to wear the rest of it all that long, crunchy day. 😂
This just highlights the importance of reading labels and rubbing alcohol. LPT: If you're gonna dress up, be sure to know how to take off the costume and makeup! Edit: Also! The "No trick or treaters" thing reminds me of this awesome prank a bunch of college kids pulled! They dressed up as old grannies, and knocked on people's doors. But when they opened, there was... another door in front of them. Knocking on it caused the "grandmas" to appear, compliment your costume, and hand YOU candy, before they'd pick up their door and leave for the next house. I'm not sure how well that'd work, but hey, it might?
That is such an AWESOME costume idea that I wish we celebrated Halloween that agressively here (I'm in India) just so I could do this with a bunch of friends!
I hear you on all the waste. My kids always had homemade costumes. They could be anything they wanted as long as the base of the costume was wearable clothes like sweats and thermal long johns or old clothes from the rag box. Each kid was given $5 for accessories; I supplied the glitter, makeup, hair spray, and paint. It was so much fun watching them plan and work on their costumes. Kids can be so creative and several of their costumes won first place in contests. Great family memories.
@@averybarrera Here are my three favorite costumes: Unicorn: White long johns with matching top, white stocking cap, white horn made from white scrapes and stitched onto cap, white tennies, white yarn to braid for mane and tale, and a rainbow of glitter. Lots of glitter. Smurf: White long johns, blue shirt, white stocking cap, white tennies, and blue body paint. TNT: Green sweat shirt and pants and brown paper bag cut in large oval for the shell. [Shell design drawn on bag and four cuts to create the dome effect.] Purchased TNT accessories.
2:03 Man, I am so happy that my workplace loves Halloween. My (pre-pandemic) in-person interview was at their office the last Friday before Halloween, and so many people were dressed up! Really helped me feel less nervous and excited about the job when my interviewers were all in fun costumes. One guy was a banana, it was great.
So cute, the lil one that still needs to learn about not entering homes! Too cute! 😍 And the sweet almost-ready-to-be-daddy hot guy!! 🔥🔥🔥 Had to look at him again! 😍
You have no idea how much I needed the pick-me-up today. I just had an episode of depression and, although I bounce back really well from them, I needed the extra cheer. This video was a God-send. Thank you Charlotte. You're like the cool, older sister I'll never have, and wish I ACTUALLY had. I'm guessing we'd have fun pranking the neighbors, causing chaos, and leaving a trail of destruction in our wake.
I’m bipolar and have huge depressive episodes. The holidays are usually the worst time for me. I don’t have family to be with during the holidays. It’s very depressing. But, I hope you’re doing better!
We just moved to a small town in mid October for my husband’s job and in our new small town they close one of the streets on Halloween night exclusively for trick-or-treating, so nobody trick or treats the other parts of town unless they’re going to somebody’s house that they know. Thankfully we had friends tell us this in advance before I bought a bunch of candy.
Aww, I feel the pain of the ones with no trick-or-treaters. Halloween is my absolute favorite and I couldn't wait until I had my own house to decorate over the top and give out great treats! Then we bought our house and there are no kids but our own close enough to trick-or-treat. We've been here 15 years and it still bums me out. 🎃😭
I live in a small low-income neighborhood and used to go all-out decorating my house and yard. But the new trend is for our neighborhood kids to Trick or Treat at nearby wealthy neighborhoods hoping for " better" candy. So, feeling sad I stopped trying to attract kids ( I love seeing their costumes ) but got stuck with tons of good candy and no one ever showed up. Besides, at 65, I don't feel safe opening my door to strangers anymore. 😞😞😞
I feel for the people who discovered their makeup was longer lasting than expected. I was in a play and dyed my hair black, because a wig was apparently too much to expect. The girl who did it assured me it would come out in a few washes. Three weeks later it was still there, but in patches. With my natural color of dirty blonde it looked like a bad calico job.
I went blue once for my first hair dye ever and yeah it came out more teal and just bad. we tried again just to use up the other container of the blue as I decided to cut my hair the same day leaving one left to use. It worked better the 2nd time for sure
the painted truck reminded me of a friend's car he painted. He put what looked to be a blood smear across his hood and fender where there was a big dent from a previous minor accident. He had been stopped at least 10 times in 3 days when they gave him an order to repaint it so it doesn't cause alarm like it has been. I guess people were calling 911 on him
My husband decided our first Halloween here we were going to be the awesome house that gives full sized bars. We purchased like 2 boxes a month starting in July. We gave each kid 3 bars each and we still had so much left over. He invited the guys over for drinks and they barely made a dent in the candy mountain we created. Halloween on a military base is so sad.
I went trick or treating in my friends neighborhood a few years ago with my son and one of the houses gave out little bottles of liquor and beer to the parents. And full size candy bars. Best Halloween ever. 🎃
When the story about the little tirl with diabetes came up I thought about how my fathers boss won't let his kids keep all the halloween candy - instead they pay the kids some money and he brings the candy in to work for his workers. Kids still get something out of it, but arent going to go into a sugar coma. I always thought that was a nice way to handle it.
@@Jinaria101 I strongly doubt that there is an actual correlation between the two, unless you have some sort of allergy to something in the skittles themselves.
Old School, for removing the dye, find a smoker and steal the cigarette ash. Make the area damp and apply the ash, rub in a circular motion to remove the dye. Works on getting rid of hair dye as well. If you don't have a friend that smokes .burn paper into ash and use that. ❇
Last Halloween that I worked an office job, I dressed up as a witch. I didn’t do a Wicked Witch of the West look, more a ‘I’ve got a witches hat that I bought just because and witch boots so I’m gonna get a floaty black dress and wear it with them’ Everyone (which was only about 5 people because it was October 2020) thought I looked really cool. If I hadn’t booked Halloween off this year to do a Hammer Horrors Dracula marathon then I’d 100% be dressing up for this office job I’m working now!
To charlotte: the nail is misspelled 😅 it says BICTH. She now has to either repaint and fix it or offer a discount or something. Halloween is my favorite holiday 😍 I would say it's no more wasteful than Christmas. I am usually the weirdo dressed up qhen no one else is haha 😂
So I still don’t get it. Why did she put that on the nails? was it supposed to say bitch? I’ve been searching the comments desperately for an answer to this but haven’t found it yet lol
I love your shark costume...so cute! ❤ Edit: The toothbrush pumpkin was probably to remind kids to brush their teeth because of all the candy 😄 (To get rid of mice you can poison rice...very dark costume) The nail was spelled wrong...it's b*tch 😄😄
Hey Charlotte! I look forward to seeing you every day. Thank you so much for the joy you bring! It may sound sad but I consider you one of my friends. Much love ❤
Last Halloween, it was a toss up between trick or treating with my son (first time) or staying home to hand out lollies/candy. My compromise was to take the lollies with me and hand them out while we were walking and it turned out to be a fantastic idea. We gave out sweets to adults, kids on the street and there were even kids that weren't allowed to go out and they were stoked to have the treats come to their strict homes.
My sons keep all their old costumes in a chest. Then throughout the year, they'll piece things together to play outside, like to play swordfight, play soldier, fireman, cops, etc... It's our treasure chest of imagination. 💞
Wow! I was missing my Potato Queen. Better late than never. I did not want to have to wait till tomorrow to get my day started with a good laugh. Thank you Charlotte, you always brighten my day. Your AWESOME!
It's hard being passionate about Halloween when you're an adult with not many friends, (aka no one to party with - though I've never been much of a partier) having no kids and living in an apartment while working from home (no trick or treaters and no office party). It's literally the only holiday I care about and I can't really do much to celebrate.
I felt the "3 trick or treaters"... I decked out my entire house one year, the first time ever. I bought so many varieties of candy, so excited to host halloween. I got ZERO trick or treaters. Everyone went to different neighborhoods...no one came to my house...not one. I stood outside looking for kids....no one came by. I was taking candy with me every day to work and handing it out smiling through the pain 🥲
I remember at a state agency where one of the male managers dressed up as the nurse from One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest. Then somebody hid his regular clothes and he had to go to a high level meeting at the Nurse's union. He was not happy.,
Toothbrush= Halloween is obviously known for all that sugary goodness everybody eats so they might be a dentist, hence the toothbrush for all them cavities. There ya go Char. 😀
... I give Ghost Tours in a tourist destination. Halloween is one of our busiest times. Often, it is an entire week of costuming for me. I have more costume options in my closet than "nice clothes". Most of the men I know here have better makeup kits than the "girliest" women I know in other cities. So, if you haven't guessed my feelings about Halloween by this point, let me clarify: I LOVE IT!!! 👻🖤😈💀👽👹🥳🍫
I can explain the toothbrush, I think. I believe it’s a reference to the running joke from Jenna Marbles, she once complained about women’s Halloween costumes always being sexy versions of things…the sexy nurse, the sexy witch, etc..and she said “What if I just want to be a toothbrush?” And then, later, she made herself a toothbrush costume.
All of the missing trick or treaters are in our neighborhood. We had approximately 900 last year, and I love it. I just sit on the porch as there is no point sitting inside because as soon as we shut the door, someone else shows up. My favorite costume last year was a 2 year old dressed up like ZZ Top. We had an awesome conversation about LaGrange.
Just fyi I was in my way home from a biopsy feeling pretty nervous and crappy and I put on one of your videos to listen to and you made me laugh despite it all so thank you very much for all you do!!! 💛🙏
If you don't want the red makeup to be on your face for weeks, you have to get red makeup that isn't vegan, with other colours it is probably the same thing but I found it especially with synthetic red colours ( I have a lot of vegan makeup and whenever I wear any red I know I will have to put concealer on my eyelids for a few days because it will stain some ). If you can't find a colour you want for a liquid makeup for halloween, buy some foundation, and find a cheap eyeshadow and make sure to go over the ingredients if you are allergic or whatever you might not want in there because once you found the eyeshadow with the colour you want you have to crush some up and mix in to the foundation until you have the colour you want/need and you are good.
We bought some awesome candy for the trick or treaters last year. We didn't get anyone even older kids show up at our front door. I ended up donating the candy to the homeless down off of I-5. They loved it!
Also, it’s amazing how many kids where I live (rural town in the Midwest) tell me they don’t “celebrate Halloween” But they have candypalooza at church or downtown community treat night? It’s a very church promoted hate on how evil Halloween is. I, the town witch, gives zero f’s but also gives comic books and full size candy bars. After the first year the kids learned and now we literally Halloween prep for the hundreds beginning in august. They get driven here just to come to our house and it’s usually only maybe 3-5 houses that will offer candy within 4 blocks of us. Crazy! I grew up with super religious parents who never allowed me to trick or treat so I take Halloween very seriously.
THANK YOU for talking about the waste that comes from Halloween!! Our witchy ancestors would be so sad to see what we've done to their extremely spiritual day.
I remember when I got my first house after years of apartment renting. I was really looking forward to Halloween that year, so I went all out with decorations, and great, full-sized candy bars. I was in the living room, waiting for all of the kids to come in their costumes. To my disappointment, not one person showed up. Everyone was going around to businesses on Main Street, who were giving away candy and prizes. I don't do Halloween anymore.
When we moved into our house our neighborhood was very young and full of kids. The kids are grown now and we don't get many trick or treaters anymore. One of my favorite (non) holidays too!
A bit of duct tape and a small bit of fishing line would have solved the eyeballs not staying in the bush. Just get some fishing line, place maybe 4 or 5 strings grouped together for strength, then duct tape them to the inside of the bowls. Then just tie the fishing line around the bushes stem / trunk / root / thing that looked like a trunk but since it isn't a tree it's not called a trunk, and your problem is solved. Oh and since you used duct tape, after halloween you can just remove the tape and wash the bowl so you can use it as a popcorn bowl or some crap.
Michigander here, the biggest Halloween fail are sometimes the best successes. One year it was cold, like really cold. It was a mix of freezing rain and snow plus some nice wind chill. Nothing could stop me and my siblings from getting free candy, so we dressed up as whatever we could stick over our snowsuits. So, when we got to the houses, they all looked at us tiny children and were like "yah know what I think you are the only people we will get tonight, here have the whole bowl because I don't want leftovers". Still look back and see it as the best year ever.
The part with the "serious" meeting spoke to me. At my last job, I went to work proudly wearing my 50's style poodle skirt and ponytail (think Grease) only to find....NO ONE else had dressed up.
For the makeup fails, it looks like they used lipstick or grease paint? Just use an oil-based makeup remover (cleansing oil, cold cream) or just plain oil straight on the stain, then wash normally. Water isn't going to get grease off. But that red might still leave a stain, in which case you can try alcohol or a mild nail polish remover (just not near eyes), but it will dry out the skin. There are tons of sites that have instructions on how to remove grease paint.
Something along the lines of makeup that can't be removed. It is a known fact that children will somehow find a way to ruin picture day. Many times this involves siblings cutting each others' hair. My daughter decided to color herself with black sharpies so she would look like her friend. Yeah, those pictures were pretty messed up, as children aren't the best at uniform color application. It took a good month for the color to wear off. Good times!!!! (She overapplied her mother's lipstick once as well. We had a pink ring around the bathtub for days.)
For the "Rice is Strange" costume, it's basically a mistranslation from the Chinese factory. The Chinese characters for "Rice Strange" and "Mickey" are nearly identical, so whoever did the packaging flubbed the translation and no one corrected them before it shipped.
Thank you came to the comments to see if anyone could explain this one
Swear I needed an explanation cause I was like hHoOoWw ?!
I figured it was because mouse poop looks like black rice. 🤷🏼♀️
Oh, I thought it was a typo and was “the MICE is strange” 🤷♀️ (cuz mice normally don’t wear clothes?!? IDK 😅)
thank you so much for explaining this was bothering me so much
To everyone not getting their make up off: if water doesn't work, try oil or fat! (Oily skin cream, butter, any oils) also works with permanent markers
Olive oil, baby oil, or cold cream works best. Let's not use butter... lol you'll get so many pimples.
Yes, we use baby oil.
Witch hazel and rose water for sensitive skin!!
@@katiesalvadore7306 witchhazle can actually dry skin out, so what you can use instead is rice water or oatmilk with a touch of Johnson and Johnson to prevent skin from breaking out.
Yes, oil helps! The panic in their faces tho 🤣🤣🤣
When we moved into our house, we did a whole sleeping beauty theme, I dressed as Maleficent and my niece dressed as Aurora. We had green light, fog machine, glow sticks in the grass and bushes to look like ferries, a spinning wheel, music, the whole shabang. We had 3 trick-or-treaters all night. No one wanted to walk up the hilly street to get to us. We were so disappointed.
my whole neighborhood is on a pretty steep hill and the popular neighborhood was next door, so every year until my late 20s i would make that trek to hit as many houses as i could. since everyone was happy to see anyone come by (often i was the only visitor), id get handfuls of candy at most houses. id made off like a bandit for the cost of a hike. worth it!
Those wide-thighed pants are accurate to stars wars and even in the military. They are based on a style called jodhpurs, and are from equestrian and cavalry traditions in which the thigh needs extra space for saddle maneuvering, but the calves and area from the knee down requires a tighter fit so that it can be tucked into riding boots. After the need for horses was no longer a need in the military, it became stylized and eventually phased out, although you’ll see people who ride and work with horses still wear them today (though the invention of stretchy fabrics makes the style not necessary).
I'm quite surprised he didn't figure that out.🤷🏽♀️
Thank you! I came to the comments to say this! I was filled with so much rage as both a history buff and a Star Wars fan 😩
Those jodhpurs were EXCESSIVE though!
Equestrian jodhpurs don't actually have that extra fabric anymore, they just kept the name. They are instead more like tights made out of thicker material.
@@Shado_wolf Yes, they were still not quite correct because they’re cheaply made, plus he doesn’t have the thighs for it.
@@JadeMau and, I mean, how much was the costume 😅 you definitely do get what you pay for!
I have had one of those boardroom experiences... Because my train was delayed. I got at the office late on Halloween and went strait to a meeting that the whole upper management team was attending. The day before, coworkers had told me that employees could dress up, which I thought meant most people would. Upon entering the boardroom, i quickly realized that I was the only one dressed up (very elaborate gothic masquerade costume will a mask covering the upper half of my face). Keep in mind that I had been working at the company for only two weeks and most people had not met me yet (large multinational corporation). I took a seat as discreetly as possible and pretended that everything was normal. At some point, the discussion was about my field of expertise, so I took the floor and started providing information. After about 3 minutes, the president (who had actually met me but obviously hadn't recognized me) said: "And WHO the hell are you?!?!?!?"
please i need to know what happened after lmfao
The no trick or treaters one reminded me of my neighbors. Their Halloween decorations were really good!! One time they made their entire yard into a graveyard, hang a swing in their tree, seated an Annabelle doll on it, and made her look at the people that came close to their house. The entire family also loved dressing up as monsters and killer clowns, it just was a really cool experience in general. Unfortunately, their house is really hard to see if you don't enter into the curve that conforms the house layout in our street, not to mention that there's barely any people with Halloween spirit in it, which makes most trick or treaters turn away from us. Because of this, only a few children that already knew what they do (plus my siblings) go and enjoy their decorations. About 4 years ago they stopped doing it, I guess that it was because of the low audience. Still remember their incredible work

@@nicolemontcadadupont935 so is half the shit you do on Christmas. your point?
That’s such a bummer. There’s no trick or treaters at our place either. Though we are on a private road, so I guess it makes sense. But it does take the fun out of the holiday 😭
As a diabetic, the teacher fail was super funny. Thank you for constantly making us laugh.
I am a diabetic also true im not overloading on sugar and other stuff but i do moderate my chocolate intake. Still have to take pills and a shot for the rest of my life and other health risks super fun
@@wulf76.... You totaly missed the point there. No one finds it funny that anyone is ill but that was not what the "joke" was about.
The teachers fail was funny and people with diabetes where not the butt of the joke, so what is the problem?
@@SingingSealRiana I get the joke I was just stating what I go through
I'm diabetic too and I thought it was hilarious. Plus, Halloween sized candy is the perfect size for a sugar crash. Bonus!
@@wulf76 ive been diabetic for 30 years, i take 6 injections a day, i have neuropathy and gone blind on 1 eye so im very aware of how unfunny diabetes is !!!! However, im laughing at an honest mistake, with the best intentions a teacher made because of a childs speach impairment. So clearly i was not laughing at the diabetes but at the situation!!! i try to find funny where i can because life is hard enough as it is! As a fellow diabetic we should be on the same team, instead you pass judgment on me for having a laugh!
I worked at a small electronics factory that took Halloween pretty seriously. This one woman always bicycled to work, several miles. She was very tall and very thin. She came as a frog in green leotard and tights with neon green paper spots all over, swim goggles and swim flippers - while riding her bike. It was a little scary watching her ride (I biked too) since her control wasn't great with the extra equipment.
I thought u were going to say she dressed as Margaret half in Witch mode & half in Mrs. Gulch mode from The Wizard Of Oz! Tall, half green, riding a bike, with basket, carrying a broom, maybe a little Toto in her basket?
@@marshawargo7238 oh my, you made me laugh. She would have had to do an awful lot of makeup or buy a mask for that. As it was she stole the dot stickers from work and everything else was something she already had.
@@marshawargo7238 That’s where my mind went then a second later it was to Kermit riding his bike.
For anyone contemplating full-face makeup for Halloween: Get some Albolene cream (it's a cold cream). Apply a generous amount to your face and wait about 10 minutes. Then wipe off the excess but leave a thin coat on your face. Apply your face make up. When you're ready to remove the make up, apply a generous amount of the Albolene, wait a bit and then wipe it off with a soft cloth. Repeat as needed, and then wash with soap. I was a clown way back in the day, and the darker colors (red, black) can stain your skin. The Albolene cream before and after helps a ton!
Also, if you need to apply multiple colors, put on the lightest color (for a clown it's the white) over your whole face. Use a cotton swab to remove the white where you want to put other colors. That way you don't dilute the darker colors with the lighter base and it leaves a cleaner line where they meet.
The star wars costume is supposed to be jodhpurs (riding pants) so they have the bulge at the side. Look at uniforms the big-wigs wore in Germany during WWII. Same sort of look. That costume could be salvaged by sewing the seam closer to the body.
The defeat of the folks who were excited for trick or treaters and didn't get any is a defeat I have felt many times. Thankfully I now live in a neighborhood that has tons of them!
Me this year
YES! It’s so sad, cause they’re so excited! It reminds me of one year on Halloween, I was trick or treating, and my friends dared me to go to one house that no kids were going to. My folks said it was cool, so it wasn’t like… you know, a bad person house at least. I went up, knocked, and this super old lady in a wheelchair was at the door. She was so excited to see me! She gave me a hug, let me and my parents inside, asking how a lass named Sherry was, gave me a literal bowlful of candy (she had multiple bowls set up). Honestly, my parents and I just thought she was being really nice… until a younger lass came from upstairs, and asked about us. The old lady said “It’s Michael and Sadie, and Lucy Goose! You don’t think I’d forget my own kids and grandkids, would you?” Turns out the lady had dementia, and it freaked a lot of kids out, so no one went there. The lady loved Halloween, and was always really sad when no one came by. The younger lass was her caretaker, also very nice. I tried to tell everyone that the lady was nice, and she was chill, and no one believed me, or just didn’t change their mind about her. It was a year before I moved away, so I never saw her again. I hope she’s doing ok. It’s been years now, and I still remember it vividly. She was so sweet, and had a big house with only one other person in it, and… it made my heart ache.
@Monroe Robbins Oh my goodness! That absolutely breaks my heart. I'm so glad she had at least one good trick or treat that Halloween, I'm sure she and her caretaker were really touched.
I literally almost cried for both of them 😭🤣🤣🤣 I get that especially with all that candy.
Actually, those melted candles look kind of awesome 😂
I thought the same! The twisted orange ones would work really well!!
She could have used it as part of a Maleficent headpiece by painting it black.
I thought so too! Very spooktacular 😃
Agree
I thought they were really *thicc* Harry Potter wands. 😂
I can relate so much to these poor guys who waited to give out candies and were disappointed. My first Halloween after I moved out of my parents, I had gone all out. Full costume, super large candy bowl and too many carved pumpkins. Literally no one came trick or treating in our street. I only gave out candy to my landlord’s children. I was so disappointed. Halloween is my favourite holiday.
I can feel the disappointment man. I know I would be so sad as well.
Here is the recommended clip that say it:

I concur. I waited on the porch all night and even my dog was in costume.😞
Where I use to live, we got alot of kids on halloween. Where I live now, we hardly get any, so disapointing. As i loved to dress up and then hand candy out.
We live too far out for trick or treating to reach our house, I had bought enough candy to fill a full stand up vacuum box.
The way those cats hauled tail is wild.
Also, HOAs are the Grinches of Halloween.
I would never move into an HOA that put any bans or limits on holidays, especially Halloween. I decorate my yard and give out full size candy bars. To be fair the Grinch didn't hate Christmas, he hated people... which is fair.
While I HATE my HOA and am actively looking to buy another house, ours at least has costume parties, and parades, decorating contests, trunk or treating etc…
What's HOA? For us that are non Americans. Thanks
@@amatije a horrible group of Karen’s. It’s a home owners association for a neighborhood. They make rules and collect dues and some are bigger pain in the butts than necessary some are cruel. If for some reason you can’t make your payment to them they can put a lien on your house and sell it.
@@melissacoviello2886 thanks. I wouldn't want to live in such neighborhood.
I absolutely LOVE that teacher at 8:24!!! The world needs more empathetic and awesome teachers like these!!!
I'm part of a professional belly dance cosplay troupe. We LOVE Halloween, and no costuming ever gets thrown away by us, because we can use it to create other costume pieces. We shop people's second hand costume sales all the time. This weekend we'll be fairies at the Renaissance Faire, and next weekend we'll dress up (and dance) for a pirate themed murder mystery.
The snow white dress actually looks pretty good on him. I wouldn't call that a fail at all
He's totally rocking it.
The fail there is definitely the other dads not having a princess dress!
He should have called the other dads his seven dorks
He's adorable
I was thinking he's cute!
I can relate to the people disappointed to not have trick-or-treaters. Every year I would make fun bags of candy but the local kids must've aged out and lately no one comes around. Now, I just make sure we have candy, just in case. On the plus side, it's fun to see that some kids and adults still have fun with Halloween!!! (I love that Charlotte Dobre still enjoys Halloween!!!)
Here is the recommended clip that say it:

I wish adult trick or treating would become a norm because that would be awesome. Everyone who wants to dress up and show off can have so much fun, and we can enjoy their display and effort. Everyone loves candy, and for those who can not have sugar you can offer alternatives like beef or chickens sticks or veggie sticks.
We had moved to a new state, Halloween came around and zero trick-or-treaters. Found out that all the kids go to the next town over. We buy a house half way across the state, move in to found out again, no trick-or-treaters here. They go to a different town to trick-or-treat. I swear I'm about to do a reverse trick-or-treat. I'm going to dress up, take a bowl of candy with me and go door to door and hand it out. Go to the stores in town and hand out candy to the employees. If they won't come to me, I'll go to them! lol
Last year for me sucked as my mom lives in a semi old people area of the neighborhood and we only got a few people. My brother and I just decided to go around a bit after our sad attempt of handing out candy as I was dressed as Eddie Brock (Venom)
@@jaggerra7 100% agree with you! I still can't believe states that have an age restriction on trick-or-treating. I rather have people of all ages dressing up and going out trick-or-treating and having fun.
I used to get fliers from the neighborhood letting us know how many kids were diabetic and how many had food allergies. We would have one special bucket of sugar free candy and small toys with coloring books and a small pckt of crayons. I liked that. I loved being able to include all the kids.
I always have a wide variety. Fruity candy, chocolate, pretzels, fruit snacks that are gluten free, and non food items.
That’s an awesome idea! We always have comic books and toddler safe options for anyone not wanting candy.

Thanks for sharing, these are good ideas!
Last year was our first halloween in our first home... i sat outside on my driveway with my bowl of candy for 2 hours... not a single trick or treater i was DEVASTATED. To make it worse my family kept telling me how they ran out of candy and had to get more.
I sobbed and i am not ashamed of it. Lol. Its my favorite holiday and handing out candy and seeing all the littkes in their costumes is the best part!
I'm sorry you experienced that 😔
When my fiance and I moved into our new house we were SO excited for Halloween. We decked out the whole inside and outside of our house with tons of decorations and when the day of Halloween rolled around we were ready! We had only lived in the house like a month at this point so we didn't know any neighbors yet. So we were on our porch in full costume waiting for the trick-or-treaters and no one was coming. When we spotted a neighbor we asked where everyone was and his response was "That's the devil's holiday. We don't celebrate that in this city." So Cinderella and Prince Charming went tearing through the yard pulling all the decorations down in horror. Apparently our town was quite religious and we weren't aware. Our neighbors were not impressed with their new asshole neighbors. 🙄
Sounds like an unfortunate mismatch for you guys, and worse since it sounds like you had awesome and still family friendly costumes =/ Curious - did the neighbors do anything for Christmas?
That paints such a cluey picture
Ohhh, I'm so Sorry that they made you feel so out of place as it is not really that big of a deal.. Do they ban Dancing there too as you might have to cut Footloose then
@@Sunari Of course! That's the Lord's day! Easter and Christmas were their favorite! They had a full blown Manger scene in their yard! We didn't have anything scary or offensive. It was like the word "Boo," and pumpkins and some witch's feet sticking out of the ground and ghosts hanging in the trees and some pink, silver and orange glitter skeleton heads in the bushes and some bats hanging and straw bales and some "Happy Halloween" signs and big fake pieces of glitter candy. There wasn't anything gorey or gross or scary. All very G rated and cutesy. Nothing to get upset over. They were just nuts. At Easter they would haul out just their giant Jesus from their Manger scene and park it in their front yard with a hand painted poster that read "He has risen!" I'm sure my pastel glitter eggs and bunnies weren't their favorite!😜
@@stephaniejohnson3327 There's a part of me that wishes the "He has risen" was painted in a dripping blood red paint type fashion even though I know it wasn't XD Not sure why pastel glitter eggs and bunnies would be bad they sound fantastic (unless they were also farmers)
For anyone who freaks out that the makeup isn’t coming off…
BABY OIL
Oil based make up needs an oil based remover. Simply douse your face with baby oil and rub until the makeup dissolves and starts coming off, then wipe it away with a rag or a paper towel or something like that and it will come right off
😂😂😂the big lesson I’m seeing here is always patch test the makeup/paint before going full out 😂😂😂
it's probably oil based, so using water won't get it off, you gotta use like a makeup cleansing balm or oil lol although some face paints do stain the skin even after removal so patch test is the way to go anyways
I have a feeling these are just oil based paints hence why running them under water does nothing... did no one even try using makeup wipes ?
Here is the recommended clip that say it:

The toothbrush thing explained: My mom would hand out tooth brushes for Halloween to just see the pikachu faces of the trick or treaters. After a laugh she'd of course give them candy. For her it was trick and treat, but the toothbrush was a reminder that all that Halloween candy would give them cavities if they didn't brush. It was a fun practical joke, that ultimately had a decent message. Plus the kids still got their candy
The guy that was sad nobody came...that's why you only buy candy that YOU like. Win-win.
Cat's flying, laughing so hard I am crying. That was awesome!
My experience with offices and Halloween is it really varies. Working at an arts council though, Halloween is THE event of the year, honestly bigger than Christmas. Costume contests, pumpkin carving contest, storage/meeting room turned into a haunted house, Halloween fair in the lunch room. Even during the pandemic and with everyone working from home they still organized Halloween virtual activities. Christmas is dress up and a party, but Halloween the artistic creativity comes out.
Seems like a great place to work 🎃
I worked in video game development and yeah oddly enough Halloween was like Christmas and all your birthdays combined and some amazing costumes and make-up
I was so upset one year I was the only one who dressed up at my job when in other years we had better participation. I felt like I wasted my costume on them lol.
Charlotte makes everyone's day better! Thanks for making us laugh. Hope the filming is going great!
I love that SO many ppl don't test for allergies in their make up before they put it on their face and then are surprised when it doesn't come off like just do a swatch test weeks before Halloween to see how long it takes to get off ...
Here is the recommended clip that say it:
ua-cam.com/video/QbHAaWyFCz4/v-deo.html.
Even though I think you are right about thinking that it is a great idea to do a test patch with their make-up to rule put allergies, that is not the issue happening in this video. People have either used crappy quality make-up that stains, used other products instead of make-up that you are not supposed to use on your skin or they used decent or ok products but used them wrong. I think sometimes your are supposed to use like a primer for the skin to prevent a shield between your skin and the heavy coloured make-up product, to make sure the make-up doesn't stain your skin. Personally, I would only use make-up that doesn't need a barrier and that is made well. When the colour is bound to the other ingredients in the formula, it will not bind to your skin in the way that it will stain your skin. And I would patch test if I don't forget.
@@Freya778 That's my point though if they had done a swatch on their arm before covering their body/face with it then they would have known it would stain or just be painted on their skin but, they didn't do that and that's why this happened.
No one goes door to door anymore and it’s just sad!! I am 64 and the fun we had on Halloween!!! The best
Here's another story... junior high school was grades 7 - 9. In 7th grade, I was SO EXCITED to dress up as a bunny for Halloween. I wore a bright blue leotard with matching tights. I used one of my roller skate pom poms as a fluffy (and jingley - it had bells) tail. I made a set of bunny ears out of a coat hanger and tin foil. I show up to school and start walking around, slowly realizing that NOBODY dressed for Halloween. I took off the ears, but had to wear the rest of it all that long, crunchy day. 😂
This just highlights the importance of reading labels and rubbing alcohol.
LPT: If you're gonna dress up, be sure to know how to take off the costume and makeup!
Edit: Also! The "No trick or treaters" thing reminds me of this awesome prank a bunch of college kids pulled!
They dressed up as old grannies, and knocked on people's doors. But when they opened, there was... another door in front of them. Knocking on it caused the "grandmas" to appear, compliment your costume, and hand YOU candy, before they'd pick up their door and leave for the next house.
I'm not sure how well that'd work, but hey, it might?
Baby oil, olive oil, and cold cream usually work best.
Found what I want to do for halloween this year
@@mollyoconnor9365 Keep us posted on how that goes-- it would be so cool if we started a new tradition that way, those college guys would be so proud
That is such an AWESOME costume idea that I wish we celebrated Halloween that agressively here (I'm in India) just so I could do this with a bunch of friends!
I love this
I hear you on all the waste. My kids always had homemade costumes. They could be anything they wanted as long as the base of the costume was wearable clothes like sweats and thermal long johns or old clothes from the rag box. Each kid was given $5 for accessories; I supplied the glitter, makeup, hair spray, and paint. It was so much fun watching them plan and work on their costumes. Kids can be so creative and several of their costumes won first place in contests. Great family memories.
What were some of their best costumes??
@@averybarrera Here are my three favorite costumes:
Unicorn: White long johns with matching top, white stocking cap, white horn made from white scrapes and stitched onto cap, white tennies, white yarn to braid for mane and tale, and a rainbow of glitter. Lots of glitter.
Smurf: White long johns, blue shirt, white stocking cap, white tennies, and blue body paint.
TNT: Green sweat shirt and pants and brown paper bag cut in large oval for the shell. [Shell design drawn on bag and four cuts to create the dome effect.] Purchased TNT accessories.

2:03 Man, I am so happy that my workplace loves Halloween. My (pre-pandemic) in-person interview was at their office the last Friday before Halloween, and so many people were dressed up! Really helped me feel less nervous and excited about the job when my interviewers were all in fun costumes. One guy was a banana, it was great.
So cute, the lil one that still needs to learn about not entering homes! Too cute! 😍 And the sweet almost-ready-to-be-daddy hot guy!! 🔥🔥🔥 Had to look at him again! 😍
Charlotte, the "teefies" teacher story was so sweet and adorable. Yes, I bought a goofy lion mane for my silly Simba.
You have no idea how much I needed the pick-me-up today. I just had an episode of depression and, although I bounce back really well from them, I needed the extra cheer. This video was a God-send. Thank you Charlotte. You're like the cool, older sister I'll never have, and wish I ACTUALLY had. I'm guessing we'd have fun pranking the neighbors, causing chaos, and leaving a trail of destruction in our wake.
I’m bipolar and have huge depressive episodes. The holidays are usually the worst time for me. I don’t have family to be with during the holidays. It’s very depressing.
But, I hope you’re doing better!
We just moved to a small town in mid October for my husband’s job and in our new small town they close one of the streets on Halloween night exclusively for trick-or-treating, so nobody trick or treats the other parts of town unless they’re going to somebody’s house that they know. Thankfully we had friends tell us this in advance before I bought a bunch of candy.
Aww, I feel the pain of the ones with no trick-or-treaters. Halloween is my absolute favorite and I couldn't wait until I had my own house to decorate over the top and give out great treats! Then we bought our house and there are no kids but our own close enough to trick-or-treat. We've been here 15 years and it still bums me out. 🎃😭
Aw, same! Finally bought our own home a few years ago and had candy and pumpkins out, no one came. Downside to living on a quiet street.
7:15 i found the answer on the reddit.. it says "Mickey translates to "mi qi" in Chinese, which means rice strange"
I live in a small low-income neighborhood and used to go all-out decorating my house and yard. But the new trend is for our neighborhood kids to Trick or Treat at nearby wealthy neighborhoods hoping for " better" candy. So, feeling sad I stopped trying to attract kids ( I love seeing their costumes ) but got stuck with tons of good candy and no one ever showed up. Besides, at 65, I don't feel safe opening my door to strangers anymore. 😞😞😞
I feel for the people who discovered their makeup was longer lasting than expected.
I was in a play and dyed my hair black, because a wig was apparently too much to expect. The girl who did it assured me it would come out in a few washes. Three weeks later it was still there, but in patches. With my natural color of dirty blonde it looked like a bad calico job.
I went black ONCE!! Learned that lesson!!
I went blue once for my first hair dye ever and yeah it came out more teal and just bad. we tried again just to use up the other container of the blue as I decided to cut my hair the same day leaving one left to use. It worked better the 2nd time for sure
I am so sorry the hair fail incident happened to you, but calling it a calico coloring made me laugh out loud 🤣
Add ears and own it?
Charlotte: Is it supposed to say boo?
My entire soul leaving my body: 💀
I love Halloween. It's one of my favorite holidays.
the painted truck reminded me of a friend's car he painted. He put what looked to be a blood smear across his hood and fender where there was a big dent from a previous minor accident. He had been stopped at least 10 times in 3 days when they gave him an order to repaint it so it doesn't cause alarm like it has been. I guess people were calling 911 on him
To be fair that is extremely irresponsible. He kinda deserved it.
"the rice is strange" is going to keep me up nights. I need to know how they got there
To get rid of mice, you feed them poisoned rice,? (Read that on a comment above!)
Omg same... I just can't think of anything. Maybe rice=mice? But I don't really know man
Someone else says mouse poo looks like rice?
So apparently Mickey translates to "mi qi" in Chinese, which means rice strange. There you have it. Save your sleep for another mystery lol

11:31 is a travesty. No one trick or treats at the full size house! : O
My husband decided our first Halloween here we were going to be the awesome house that gives full sized bars. We purchased like 2 boxes a month starting in July. We gave each kid 3 bars each and we still had so much left over. He invited the guys over for drinks and they barely made a dent in the candy mountain we created. Halloween on a military base is so sad.
I went trick or treating in my friends neighborhood a few years ago with my son and one of the houses gave out little bottles of liquor and beer to the parents. And full size candy bars. Best Halloween ever. 🎃

When the story about the little tirl with diabetes came up I thought about how my fathers boss won't let his kids keep all the halloween candy - instead they pay the kids some money and he brings the candy in to work for his workers. Kids still get something out of it, but arent going to go into a sugar coma. I always thought that was a nice way to handle it.
Then you had kids like me who would eat only a piece a day and have candy until almost Valentines day. haha

@@Jinaria101 The expiration date on candy isn't THAT tight. Though I have never once heard of candy giving headaches.
@@robertgronewold3326 I had some old skittles I finally decided to eat some and I got a headache for about 2 days
@@Jinaria101 I strongly doubt that there is an actual correlation between the two, unless you have some sort of allergy to something in the skittles themselves.
Old School, for removing the dye, find a smoker and steal the cigarette ash. Make the area damp and apply the ash, rub in a circular motion to remove the dye. Works on getting rid of hair dye as well. If you don't have a friend that smokes .burn paper into ash and use that. ❇
Last Halloween that I worked an office job, I dressed up as a witch. I didn’t do a Wicked Witch of the West look, more a ‘I’ve got a witches hat that I bought just because and witch boots so I’m gonna get a floaty black dress and wear it with them’
Everyone (which was only about 5 people because it was October 2020) thought I looked really cool.
If I hadn’t booked Halloween off this year to do a Hammer Horrors Dracula marathon then I’d 100% be dressing up for this office job I’m working now!
This is why I've started making my own costumes. I just make it out of stuff I know I can use elsewhere, like an umbrella or a nice dress.

To charlotte: the nail is misspelled 😅 it says BICTH. She now has to either repaint and fix it or offer a discount or something.
Halloween is my favorite holiday 😍 I would say it's no more wasteful than Christmas. I am usually the weirdo dressed up qhen no one else is haha 😂
Omg I could NOT figure that out. Geez
thank you. I was struggling 🤣

THANK YOU! I’d have never seen it. 🤦🏻♀️
I think she meant to write “witch!” But messed up twice! 😅
I laughed so hard at the cats 4:10 .🤣@ the Halloween teacher fail. Fun video Charlotte, thanks!
I saw so much potential in the decorations that were stored in the attic. I'd have LOVED to have them!
Lmao loving that Charlotte didn't understand the nail video... 🤣
When Charlotte says "It's fine maybe she won't notice", while failing to notice 🤣🤣
So I still don’t get it. Why did she put that on the nails? was it supposed to say bitch?
I’ve been searching the comments desperately for an answer to this but haven’t found it yet lol
@@somethingels3 Just a sneaky spelling error
I love your shark costume...so cute! ❤
Edit: The toothbrush pumpkin was probably to remind kids to brush their teeth because of all the candy 😄 (To get rid of mice you can poison rice...very dark costume) The nail was spelled wrong...it's b*tch 😄😄
Thank you for explaining that lmao
Omg 😂😂😂 I didn't even know that about rice
@@erikarussell1142 You're very welcome...I wanted everyone to laugh as hard as I was 😄😉
Yes, I read this comment and giggled saying omg that's dark..
Or she’s a dentist!
The reaction of the cats at 4:03, was so unexpectedly funny I spit out my food and couldn't stop laughing afterward! 🤣🤣🤣
I laughed at that, as well. I've never seen cats move so fast!! It was also funny to see a "cat gentleman" instead of a "cat lady". So funny!!
I spit out water. On my keyboard. Such fun.
OMG!!!! The sneeze at the end was absolutely adorable!!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
I love all the dads who showed up in costume. They understood the assignment❤
Hey Charlotte! I look forward to seeing you every day. Thank you so much for the joy you bring! It may sound sad but I consider you one of my friends. Much love ❤

Last Halloween, it was a toss up between trick or treating with my son (first time) or staying home to hand out lollies/candy.
My compromise was to take the lollies with me and hand them out while we were walking and it turned out to be a fantastic idea.
We gave out sweets to adults, kids on the street and there were even kids that weren't allowed to go out and they were stoked to have the treats come to their strict homes.
I'm now intrigued with the strange rice mystery....
My sons keep all their old costumes in a chest. Then throughout the year, they'll piece things together to play outside, like to play swordfight, play soldier, fireman, cops, etc... It's our treasure chest of imagination. 💞
3:09 Pumpkins won't go to waste. The deer LOVE them!!
Charlotte’s shark outfit broke the cuteness scale 😂🥰🤗🥔
Wow! I was missing my Potato Queen. Better late than never. I did not want to have to wait till tomorrow to get my day started with a good laugh.
Thank you Charlotte, you always brighten my day. Your AWESOME!
Well spotted….I thought so too.
It's hard being passionate about Halloween when you're an adult with not many friends, (aka no one to party with - though I've never been much of a partier) having no kids and living in an apartment while working from home (no trick or treaters and no office party). It's literally the only holiday I care about and I can't really do much to celebrate.
Charlotte, i love you shark costume, it's very flattering on you and it made me smile to see it again ❤️
I felt the "3 trick or treaters"...
I decked out my entire house one year, the first time ever. I bought so many varieties of candy, so excited to host halloween. I got ZERO trick or treaters. Everyone went to different neighborhoods...no one came to my house...not one. I stood outside looking for kids....no one came by. I was taking candy with me every day to work and handing it out smiling through the pain 🥲
I remember at a state agency where one of the male managers dressed up as the nurse from One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest. Then somebody hid his regular clothes and he had to go to a high level meeting at the Nurse's union. He was not happy.,
Toothbrush= Halloween is obviously known for all that sugary goodness everybody eats so they might be a dentist, hence the toothbrush for all them cavities. There ya go Char. 😀
I posted that too...UB Smart 2
... I give Ghost Tours in a tourist destination.
Halloween is one of our busiest times.
Often, it is an entire week of costuming for me.
I have more costume options in my closet than "nice clothes".
Most of the men I know here have better makeup kits than the "girliest" women I know in other cities.
So, if you haven't guessed my feelings about Halloween by this point, let me clarify:
I LOVE IT!!!
👻🖤😈💀👽👹🥳🍫
Cool! My friend is a ghost tour guide for a infamous hotel.
St Augustine?
I'm in New Orleans.
😁
Once, when I was a kid trick-or-treating, I was given Brussel sprouts instead of candy by a grumpy old man.
I love handing out candy to the little kids and seeing their costumes and smiles is just the best
i don't care what time your videos hit, you made my bad day so so much better. you are my dose of daily sunshine.
It’s been 10 hours since the video dropped… has Charlotte figured out the spelling error on the nails yet? 😂 thank you for making me laugh 😂❤
I can explain the toothbrush, I think. I believe it’s a reference to the running joke from Jenna Marbles, she once complained about women’s Halloween costumes always being sexy versions of things…the sexy nurse, the sexy witch, etc..and she said “What if I just want to be a toothbrush?” And then, later, she made herself a toothbrush costume.
I miss her.
Oh my god if a kid came in for a hug I would die though that’s precious as heck
All of the missing trick or treaters are in our neighborhood. We had approximately 900 last year, and I love it. I just sit on the porch as there is no point sitting inside because as soon as we shut the door, someone else shows up. My favorite costume last year was a 2 year old dressed up like ZZ Top. We had an awesome conversation about LaGrange.
Just fyi I was in my way home from a biopsy feeling pretty nervous and crappy and I put on one of your videos to listen to and you made me laugh despite it all so thank you very much for all you do!!! 💛🙏
Hope you have good results
Have none of the people washing off makeup heard of soap? Plain cold water won't do anything!
If you don't want the red makeup to be on your face for weeks, you have to get red makeup that isn't vegan, with other colours it is probably the same thing but I found it especially with synthetic red colours ( I have a lot of vegan makeup and whenever I wear any red I know I will have to put concealer on my eyelids for a few days because it will stain some ). If you can't find a colour you want for a liquid makeup for halloween, buy some foundation, and find a cheap eyeshadow and make sure to go over the ingredients if you are allergic or whatever you might not want in there because once you found the eyeshadow with the colour you want you have to crush some up and mix in to the foundation until you have the colour you want/need and you are good.
We bought some awesome candy for the trick or treaters last year. We didn't get anyone even older kids show up at our front door. I ended up donating the candy to the homeless down off of I-5. They loved it!
Also, it’s amazing how many kids where I live (rural town in the Midwest) tell me they don’t “celebrate Halloween”
But they have candypalooza at church or downtown community treat night? It’s a very church promoted hate on how evil Halloween is.
I, the town witch, gives zero f’s but also gives comic books and full size candy bars.
After the first year the kids learned and now we literally Halloween prep for the hundreds beginning in august.
They get driven here just to come to our house and it’s usually only maybe 3-5 houses that will offer candy within 4 blocks of us.
Crazy!
I grew up with super religious parents who never allowed me to trick or treat so I take Halloween very seriously.
It's sad how scared religions are of anything different
Most mainstream protestants are okay with halloween, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, etc.
THANK YOU for talking about the waste that comes from Halloween!! Our witchy ancestors would be so sad to see what we've done to their extremely spiritual day.
I remember when I got my first house after years of apartment renting. I was really looking forward to Halloween that year, so I went all out with decorations, and great, full-sized candy bars. I was in the living room, waiting for all of the kids to come in their costumes. To my disappointment, not one person showed up. Everyone was going around to businesses on Main Street, who were giving away candy and prizes. I don't do Halloween anymore.
Depressing isn't it?. Here they go to the malls
For the decorations; you have to wrap candles in aluminum foil before you store them away. This keeps them from melting... usually. 😊😊
When we moved into our house our neighborhood was very young and full of kids. The kids are grown now and we don't get many trick or treaters anymore. One of my favorite (non) holidays too!
Ahahahha 😂 always makes me laugh! Thanks Charlotte for lighting up my days ❤
A bit of duct tape and a small bit of fishing line would have solved the eyeballs not staying in the bush. Just get some fishing line, place maybe 4 or 5 strings grouped together for strength, then duct tape them to the inside of the bowls. Then just tie the fishing line around the bushes stem / trunk / root / thing that looked like a trunk but since it isn't a tree it's not called a trunk, and your problem is solved.
Oh and since you used duct tape, after halloween you can just remove the tape and wash the bowl so you can use it as a popcorn bowl or some crap.
I missed whether they were glass bowls or acrylic/plastic. Drill holes and use zip ties.
@ 0:24 Winona Ryder's worried about her costume
Michigander here, the biggest Halloween fail are sometimes the best successes. One year it was cold, like really cold. It was a mix of freezing rain and snow plus some nice wind chill. Nothing could stop me and my siblings from getting free candy, so we dressed up as whatever we could stick over our snowsuits. So, when we got to the houses, they all looked at us tiny children and were like "yah know what I think you are the only people we will get tonight, here have the whole bowl because I don't want leftovers". Still look back and see it as the best year ever.
The part with the "serious" meeting spoke to me. At my last job, I went to work proudly wearing my 50's style poodle skirt and ponytail (think Grease) only to find....NO ONE else had dressed up.
For the makeup fails, it looks like they used lipstick or grease paint? Just use an oil-based makeup remover (cleansing oil, cold cream) or just plain oil straight on the stain, then wash normally. Water isn't going to get grease off. But that red might still leave a stain, in which case you can try alcohol or a mild nail polish remover (just not near eyes), but it will dry out the skin. There are tons of sites that have instructions on how to remove grease paint.
Something along the lines of makeup that can't be removed. It is a known fact that children will somehow find a way to ruin picture day. Many times this involves siblings cutting each others' hair. My daughter decided to color herself with black sharpies so she would look like her friend. Yeah, those pictures were pretty messed up, as children aren't the best at uniform color application. It took a good month for the color to wear off. Good times!!!! (She overapplied her mother's lipstick once as well. We had a pink ring around the bathtub for days.)
