How does that work? I pick winners for my contests via www.random.org. IF the random numbers come up with a lot of international folks, the cut off is five. The rest will be domestic. This is my way of including the international readers in such a large giveaway.

Winners will be posted by 6:30 PM MDT/8:30 PM EST, and if I don’t hear from the winners BY 9 AM MDT on TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30th, I will give the prize to someone else.

I have to admit, I dont really have any plans for halloween.. we live in the middle of the nowhere.. Dont get any trick or treaters out here.. and im sick, so no parties.. Ill prolly sit on the couch, watch tv and eat candy.. lol

Country of origin: US
I don’t know if I’ll be able to do anything this year. I wanted to go around the block with my 11 months…. but then Sandy might come for a visit. My 16 yo is not very bothered by Halloween anymore.So I really don’t know. If the weather is too crappy, we will chillax at home and I’ll make a roastbeef!
And I live in New York, USA!
I don’t have plans for Halloween. Trick or Treat was yesterday in my town and my husband brought my daughter out for that. Right now I’m hoping we’ll have electricity and all that for Halloween since I’m in Massachusetts and there is that big storm heading our way!
USA
For Halloween, I am taking my daughter around trick or treating. We went and got body glitter and fun lip gloss to go with her neat fairy costume. She is going to look amazing 🙂
I am from the U.S.
Indiana, USA
I will spend Halloween with the front lights off so we don’t get trick or treaters 🙂
I’m either taking my children trick or treating or handing out candy. My daughter has told me I’m staying home, but if my husband is working then she either will accept the fact I’m taking her or not go. 😀
I forgot to mention I’m in the states.
My plans for Hallowe’en is what I have been doing for years. Taking my three children out in our neighbourhood. Or are they taking me?? There is nothing better then watching and listening to them running from house to house embracing the holiday the only way a child can, with complete happiness. This year may involve umbrellas but I great time will still be had by all. (Ontario, Canada)
For Halloween my husband and I take our son and friends Trick or Treating! We love Halloween!!

This will be my daughter’s last year trick-or-treating. She wants to go 1 last time, but “just 1 street”. lol After that, we’ll settle in watching A Nightmare Before Christmas, a family favorite, and enjoy some popcorn & apple cider. Not much else planned since it’s a school night.

I am hoping to have Halloween this year, but not sure what damage Sandy is going to bring to my neighborhood. I have 4 kids and they are ready to go! lol If it gets cancelled, I have a stash of candy for them so they will get that sweet tooth fix. 🙂
Hi, I’m from Australia and we don’t really do Halloween over here, however, every so often a child does come to the door and we madly race around trying to find something to give them. Last time it was a pack of biscuits I think lol. The kid did say that was ok as the last house they tried gave them fruit.
Well I live in London and Halloween really isn’t a thing over here but it is half term so I might have a Harry Potter film marathon with my little boy (and lots of chocolate) or I could curl up in bed with one (or more) of my 9 cats and read my new kindle which proudly contains Thea’s 4 novella’s to keep me going until Lord’s Fall’s release!!!
This is will be my first Halloween actually dressing up and doing things. i grew up with an grandma who was an Jeovah witness and never got to do anything or celebrate anything. So this Halloween for the first time (I’m 29 by the way) I am actually going to wear an custom.

I don’t have much in the way of plans for Halloween. I’m going to sit home with my husband and watch It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown along with a few other Halloween specials. Maybe some of the old timey monster movies if they are on. We don’t get any trick-or-treaters, so I don’t have to worry about buying candy.
I’m in the northeaster portion of the US so my plans are to hopefully not be floating away. I foresee a lot of storm clean up in Halloween.

I’m in the US. My Halloween plans are to watch some tv, crochet a little and read a good book!
I’m from the US, and my town already had trick-or-treat, believe it or not! We always have it the Thursday before Halloween so it was really early! I’ll probably take candy to my students, though, and we’ll read about the Day of the Dead in Mexico.
I’m planning on seeing the original Dracula movie at the theater
I am originally from Peru, but I go to school in Savannah, GA.

I think I’ll dress up my dogs (a bee and a skeleton) and parade around the neighborhood, embarrassing both me and the dogs. Then I’ll dose myself with candy and watch crappy TV. Awesome, right?

Unfortunately I’ll be working on Halloween
I’m from the US
USA… and we will be going to a chili cook off at our church and doing a Trunk or treat. Its so fun and much easier when you have little ones.
To be honest, we do nothing on Halloween. We live in a closed lake community & there is a huge party for the kids. Frankly, I’m not a big fan of Halloween.
US – I’m going to sit out at lunch and people watch. I work in San Francisco, so we get a fair number of people dressing up at work whenever Halloween falls on a week day. In the evening, though, I have no plans.
I will be in class. I’m from Trinidad and Tobago.
I am english where it is not a big deal at all. We go crazy over bonfire night on 5th November to celebrate the foiling of the gunpowder plot!
I live however in Northern Ireland where it is not really PC to celebrate bonfire night where large numbers wished they had succeeded! Instead they go mental for halloween.
I will have switched off my lights and pretended I am not in for the few random stragglers who expect you to give them money on Wed night when they ring the door bell
grumble grumble!!!
I am from usa. Az to be exact. I will be at work slaving away not participating in an Halloween fun. 🙁 it makes me sad just thinking about it .

Originally, I had planned to dress up as a flapper and party, but as I’m in WV I will probably be burried under 2 feet of snow and praying all my reading devices hold their charges… ;?
Since my kids are waaay to old to trick or treet now and hubby is afraid so one might fall off our steps or off the porch now, we will probably go out to dinner to avoid the treaters. The first time in 16 years we won’t be home.
I’ll be watching zombie movies and cuddling with my dogs. Good times!

I’m in the US and have no Halloween plans other than to try to get to a store to buy discount candy…for myself! LOL! I never get trick-or-treaters so it’ll be a quiet night at home stuffing my mouth with candy! 😀
I will be working at New York &Co that morning, but hopefully I can meet my friend at the Melting Pot for dinner…in costume of course!

Great Giveaway! I will be over the Pacific Ocean returning to New Zealand on Halloween… I don’t know if Air New Zealand will do anything spooky to cheer us up (12 hour flight SFO to AKL) I am sitting in SF watching the 4th game of the World Series, and cheering on my adopted Giants (Atlanta Braves Fan) as I’ve been here all week having fun in the sun and loving being in a World Series city for the first time ever.
And yes, I live in NZ when I’m not back visiting family!
Born and raised in the USA.

I live in the USA.
Thanks for a chance to win Lord’s Fall.
I’m teaching an advanced English as an Additional Language class for adults. I’ll be trying to explain to people from 7 different countries what the heck Halloween is and why small children will come to their doors and ask for candy…and they have to give them some!
Canada!
Cheers, Julie Rowe
I just moved into a new home so my Halloween will be spent unpacking- hope to get finished before Thanksgiving!

I’m from Canada
I will be getting horror make-up on for work and when work is done getting candy ready to give out to the kids
Depends on Sandy. I was planning to take my dog for a check up to the vet than relaxing for the night. Of course doing this would mean we didn’t get any major damage and have power. Hopefully I have power on Tuesday to see the results…
USA
Hunkering down in Maryland,

I’m going trick-or-treating with my Japanese exchange student, even though I’m 18. She’s never been before, and hey, someone’s gotta show her how to do it! 🙂
Also, I’m from Canada!
I will be eating as much candy as I can. USA.
I live in the US (Minnesota to be exact) and I have to work that night, however where I work is giving out candy. I get to see the little kids in costume and give them candy. I might go dancing with my sister after work.
USA- I will be hosting an open house. We will have Tex-Mex and halloween cookies. The kids will go trick or treating. :0)
Bought my candy so even if the power is out and stores closed, I’ll have some for the kiddies after work.
I will be spreading deslimed pumpkin seeds on cookie sheets,tossed in a little tamari and baked in Portland, Oregon, while sipping some white wine and admiring little terrors at the door.
Here in central Oklahoma, USA, I’m painting my niece’s face in whatever character she finally decides on (she won best costume last year, so I have a lot of pressure to outdo that look). I will also give out candy and, alas, grade essays for my college comp classes to give back Thursday.
Hi !
I’m from Thailand. Surprised?
Eventhough, I’m half way around the world away from US but we will get many Halloween parties here. But this year I got plan to travel aboard on 1st of November then I think I will sit tight at home and pack things out for my trip.
ps. I’m now expecting ‘The lord’s fall’ at our local book store but it would be very fortune if I could get a special copy with signature.
For Halloween my husband and I will be heading to my daughter’s house to had out candy! We don’t have any kids coming around out here in the country.
We live in the USA. 🙂
I’ll be spending Halloween with my kids, but we’re scared all the roads are going to be flooded. Frankenstorm is coming our way! We are in the USA (I just hope we have power so I can check my computer!)
my plans would be to hangout with my friends. Preparing for our annual slumber party. :))
ugh forgot my country. It’s the Philippines :))
My plans for Halloween are to hang out on the computer and hand out candy to the trick or treaters. My neighborhood gets lots of kids – they come by car and get dropped off to trick or treat here, I’m not sure why. So there’s no sense in trying to watch television because I have to keep pausing it every two minutes. 😀 I love seeing the really little kids who are experiencing Halloween for the first time, they’re so cute.
Sorry, forgot to say I’m in the US.
I will be keeping our small herd of dogs calm while my Aunt gives out candy to the kids. Or I will be the one handing out candy while my Dad and Aunt keep the dogs entertained and quiet.
I’m from Malaysia & Halloween is not celebrated here. It’ll just be another day at work then heading off to the gym for my work out after that. But if I win a copy of the book; I’d happily celebrate that!
Since I work 2nd shift, I will be missing out on all the Halloween fun. 🙁
But I’ll still be able to eat the leftover candy the next day (and it’s mostly chocolate so yay!)
I’m in Atlanta, GA! (Go Falcons!! undefeated so far!!!)
I will be doing a whole lotta nothing halloween.
USA
I’ll be here in California, U.S handing out candy to the neighborhood kids while watching scary movies in between doorbell rings 🙂
My dad and I fight over who gets to answer the door to give out the candy. In between trick or treaters we stand at the top of the basement stairs and try to reassure our cat, who is hiding down there, that all the strangers coming around don’t signal the end of the world. 🙂
We’re in Alexandria, VA.
No plans this year have to work is about it. Hope theres something good on TV by the time I get home though!
I forgot my country 🙁
US
Thanks!!
I will be taking the kids to a Fall Festival. Games and popcorn balls, woohoo!
USA
Even though Halloween isn’t really a big thing here in Australia I’m taking my little sister trick or treating. She’s dressing up as a princess and I’m going as a 1920s flapper. Should be fun!!
Australia 🙂
I’m dressing up as a black cat to lead my kindergarten class (a/k/a the groovy gravies) down the halls for the costume parade. Then we’ll have a little party. Weather is supposed to be really miserable – cold, wet and up to 50 mph winds. I’m just glad the kids went to Trunk or Treat last week and will get to have some fun at school. Country: Good ole USA in the supposed swing state of them all: Ohio. Can’t wait till our Halloween (election) is over and we see them take off their masks – not going to be pretty!
We don’t celebrate it here in Western Australia it sounds like fun though, but I will be watching Bloodrayne 1,2 and 3 to be in the spirit.
NJ, USA
My daughter is too old for trick or treating and we don’t get many trick or treaters…suspect that I’ll be recovering from cleaning up after Sandy gets done beating up Jersey & checking out any Halloween movies or specials 🙂
I am from Singapore! Over here we don’t really celebrate Halloween much, we don’t have children walking around for tricks and treat. But I most likely will be going to the Halloween Night at Universal Studio Singapore to get scared by other people. haha.
Wow, lots of people have entered……. I guess that means you must be REALLY popular!
I’m going to send my children out to canvas the neighbor hood with their friends while I hand out candy, and then when they’re in a sugar coma, comb through their bags for any good stuff I might want 😉

In Belgium people don’t go trick or treating because we don’t have that tradition. But we love to make our house homey with lots of pumpkins,halloween candles and figuerines… This year i’m gonna carve a pumpkin for the first time together with my oldest. We also love to bake cookies and cupcakes for this occasion. And of course on TV for me and my husband there are lots of scary movies.
Unfortunately nothing… We don;t celebrate in here 🙁 I’d love to dress up 😀

I’ll be taking my boys trick-or-treating through my mom’s neighborhood, in Louisiana in the USA. It should be easy, since my three year old refuses to take off his Captain America costume. No fights about what to wear that day at least!
My Halloween will be spent with my daughter and nieces trick-or-treating. We have one that is going to be a princess and one that is gonna be pajama girl, those are my niece’s costumes and my daughter is going as a swan princess from the ballet.

We live in Ohio.

Stockholm-Sweden
Swedes are still very confused about this Halloween thing. It was unheard of when I was growing up. It collides with the religious holiday All Saint’s, falling the first weekend in November. People light candle on graves and remember their dead loved ones. So, we tend to get trick-or-treaters BOTH on the 31st of Oct and the closest following Saturday.
I will probably follow my daugher (7) around the neighbourhood and give sweets to the kids coming to our door.
I am driving from MN to TX leaving in about an hour, to visit a friend there. I will be dressed in costume and handing out candy with her. She has 2 little girls. The costume is one I made for my daughter when she was 10 and I am shocked I can fit into any of it. I live in Minnesota, USA.
I’m dressing up and working at my library, weather permitting. 🙂
I have just been out to pick up the pumpkins – I’m doing a howling wolf to commemorate my NaNo plan. My oldest wants to decorate one with pentacles as she’s gone all Wiccan! She’s off out to parties so me and my youngest are watching spooky films (probably Coraline) and eating all the sweets we bought for the trick or treaters!
Country of origin = England
I’ll be going on the traditional Halloween walk. We get together with a group of people and make a trip through the countryside. It’s in the dark, just flashlights and torches. It’s a great way to catch up with everyone in your village.

Country: U.S. (upstate NY)

South Carolina, USA
I’ll enjoy the employee costumes at work (all in good taste, hopefully!), then go to a friend’s house and help ride herd over two children who are ridiculously excited about dressing up and trick-or-treating 😉

We ‘shell out’ from our garage and usually have a HUGE amount of decorations in the front yard. The kids have to come up to the open garage door and walk under our blow up ‘grimm reaper’ LOL We LOVE Halloween. Still debating how much to put out this year given the expected wind velocities. We’re far enough away that we should just be very wet apart from that. Good luck everyone who’s closer!

It will be just me and my youngest daughter trick or treating this year because my 2 oldest girls have decided they are too old and made plans with friends.My first Halloween without all three of my girls,and alot less candy to snatch…lol
Family party with my Child, then Samhain celebration with my Circle.
I’m planning on getting some last minute things together before NaNo starts.
Country is USA.
The UK.
I’ll be watching The Nightmare Before Christmas in bed after working a late, as working in retail I’m more ready for Christmas than Halloween.

NY, USA
I’ll be playing cards with my neighbors while riding out Sandy… hopefully not by flashlight.
I’m starting to get stressed about Sandy – I need some good news!!!
Me and my peanut will be stuck home. Boo 🙁 we are getting slammed by Hurricane Sandy 🙁
I will be locked inside the house writing…and staying out of the storm. Sandy is shaking the foundations of everything. 🙁
Spending it with my 6 month old granddaughter!!
Oh and we are in the USA
For Halloween I’m just gong to hang out at my house watching scary movies and eating chocolate. Luckily I don’t have to share my chocolate goodness with strangers because no one ever comes to my house to trick-or-treat – I don’t live around any little kids.
I live in the US.
On Halloween? Nothing really. The sons already did the trick or treating thing on the 27th. Depending on the muse also I could be writing
Live in the US!
From Arizona U.S.A
For Halloween the family is heading over to a friends house for BBQ and trick-a-treating. There’s more kids in that neighborhood so more fun for my son and the adults gets to relax and have a great time as well 🙂
Nothing much. watching tv or reading a book.
I live in the US
Now that my kids are grown, I have no one to walk around the neighborhood 🙁 My youngest is 17 but when she was younger we would go to my mother’s and walk the neighborhood trick or treating. My brother lived around the corner so we would end the night there and my little one would hand out candy. We always had so much fun. Ah those were the days 🙂
Thank you so much for this giveaway! I am from the U.S.
My plans for Halloween are to sit in my basement and still because I don’t have a front door to hand candy out.

I’m giving out the candy, I no longer go out; I’m 60 years ol and get more pleasure out of seeing the kids than acting like one.

I’m going to attend the annual Halloween block party.
Oops, United States.
I’ll be spending Halloween driving an hour to our sister hospital and sitting in on job interviews all day….it will be terribly boring…then will come home to clean up the tree branches in the yard…a lovely trick or treat gift from Sandy…looking forward to a copy of Lord’s fall would certainly improve the outlook! 🙂

I’m getting dressed in a costume and going to my boyfriend’s hose to hand out candy. 😛

I am in the USA! For Halloween I had originally thought of meeting up with my niece and nephew with my border collies but now that’s been canceled due to Frankenstorm so instead I will do my own version of ‘zombie drive-thru prank’! Lots of laughs and good times 😀
Watching Rocky Horror Picture Show and giving out candy provided Hurricane Sandy doesn’t ruin everything!!! – Gaithersburg, MD USA

I am not sure what I am going to be doing on Halloween. I have a Dr. Appointment. Still recovering from back surgery.
Ohio….U.S.A
I work for a non-profit that supports academic research. The big project I have worked on for the last year has a DRM restriction. I am going to dress as the “management” for the “digital rights” with my son’s cop gear (sunglass, handcuffs, badge etc) and “digital rights” on a brief case. I hope the people I work with “get it”. 🙂
I am hoping to go trick or treating with my dogs and my friends niece and nephew but the weather here is not looking to good for that now. Cant wait to read the book 🙂
oops USA
My plans are work in the morning, but I get to wear my costume!!! Risky ref. the plus side is I get to go home and take my niece trick or treating in her bumble bee costume, I can’t wait!!! I’m in California and the weather is nice enough to get home and enjoy some hot coco after.
Riverside California
I’ll be at work…probably making guests give me candy in order to get inside the community.
I will be going to my Mom’s house to help her make candy apples and hand them out to the trick-or-treaters as she is not able to do this by herself due to health issues. Halloween is her favorite holiday and she is so excited to be part of it for one more year! Kansas, USA
I’m going to take my son trick or treating and walking in the costume parade. I’m in the USA.

USA
Ooohh, I’m planning on a waiting at the doorstep to give out candies to the little kids. Hopefully, Hurricane Sandy won’t leave so much damage the power will still be out on Wednesday.

We live right outside Detroit, Mi USA. For Halloween, my children and I are going to the city’s trunk or treat run by the police department. After we get home, we will pass out candy to any trick or treaters then watch a family movie most likely containing dragons as that is my 5 year olds new love 🙂
I’m from New Jersey, US.
I start off early on Halloween, doing Halloween makeup for my 3 younger siblings and myself; then off to school until 5. Afterwards I’m taking my siblings and baby niece (her first Halloween, just like your Baby Doll) out trick or treating, then a small party afterwards. I cannot wait!
I’m from Denver Colorado but on Halloween I’ll be in Dallas for a work trip. I’m hoping that my house doesn’t get “tricked” in my absence!
Lordy what a great contest! For Halloween I dress up as a witch, put on the scary haunted house CD, and open the front door VERY SLOWLY to the kids on the step outside. My husband made a skeleton we call “Mr Bones” out of wood, and he hangs on the door rattling as I open it. Too much fun!
Austin – TX
Handing out candy to the kiddies and hoping to see my own adult kids on that day. Looking forward to seeing all the different costumes.
Here we go again! I AM FROM THE USA! Lordy what a great contest.

Well, here in the Eastern United States; Maine to be exact, it looks like I’ll be rowing my two boys around house to house and climbing over sandbags just to get them enough candy that they won’t notice when I steal some =:-o
Giving out candy 🙂

I will be working at the Waco-McLennan County Central Library in costume checking out books and giving out candy.

Not sure if my entry will count,
Hi I’m Cinzia from Italy.
I’ll stay at home, I’m pregnant and my doctor put me to rest home… So I think I buy a lot of candies for the children.
Last year they wanted money! No words!
I live in Chicago and will be at the Boyz Town costume parade. Then my roommate and I will watch Hocus Pocus!
This Halloween I will be sitting in a house with no power again, hoping to see some trick or treaters. Freak snow storm last year, hurricane Sandy this year!

I am going treat or treating with my children.
Sue from Minnesota
Those of us in MN, USA will carve a pumpkin and greet the trick or treaters with lots of candy. Will also be worrying about my student at NYU braving a hurricane with no power and no family nearby. Now THAT is scary…
Boo Hoo 🙁 cry, cry I have to work.
I know I missed the cut of time but I thought
I would post anyway. My Husband took me
to Gulf Shores for the weekend and I just now
had a chance to set down at computer and saw this contest. Live in Alabama.
