What are good girl costumes for boys to wear on Halloween?

you could be a tree with lights some how or a pirate yea theres alot of things out there If he has done a lot of torturous things. Give him payback and dress him in a VERY FEMININE costume. My little brother always gets me in trouble and annoys me. This pays back everything. I dressed him like a strawberry girl. He had to wear a bra with toilet paper inside, the corset dress that went 2 inches above his knees, green and white striped stockings that went right up to the silk panties I put on him, and some black high heels that were not open toed. I even put makeup, pink lipstick, and a blonde wig that went below his shoulders on him. Finally to finish off the makeover, I put on the bonnet that came with the outfit. He looked adorable. Then I took pictures of him and sent them to a lot of people. He was embarrassed. And cute. I made him wear the outfit all day. My parents even saw him. She decided to dress him up in other feminine costumes and took more pictures and sent them to more people. It was more than enough payback.

What is the correct spelling or Halloween?

You pronounce it like "Hollow-een." So the "a" is actually pronounced as an "o." :) Have a Happy Halloween!

UPDATE: The above is incorrect. The origin of "Halloween" is "All Hallows' Eve," not "All Hollows' Eve," so the correct pronunciation is "HAL-oween" (Hallow-een), not "HALL-oween" (Hollow-een).

Dress up as a Black Cat for Halloween?

Should you let your son dress as a girl for Halloween again?

Answer

This is only my opinion, but I'd suggest one of his favorite characters (for instance: Spiderman) and if he doesn't like that idea, get him to go as "Cat Woman" (you could fool around with that one so there really is no gender) Two years in a row is too much and it could lead him into some bad habits.

Answer

Halloween is a safe time to experiment. Allow him to dress as he pleases, and help all you can in a supportive way. Be glad that he can tell you what he wants, and not keeping secrets. If you aren't supportive, you could create a whole dangerous world of secrets, fear and shame. Help him explore his curiousity in a safe and supportive way. Maybe it's just fun, and even if its not, its not a big deal really, as long as its not sexual or offensive to a girl in any way.

Describe a haunted house?

A cool shudder trickles down your spine. Glancing around nervously, you see somber portraits staring at you from behind layers of dust, seemingly penetrating your very being. Cold, hesitant light streams in through a cracked window, casting eerie shadows on the walls. As you walk forward, you can't help but feel that someone is following you. Whirling around, you see nothing but the empty hallway and the faces in the portraits staring at you. 'Turn back' they seem to say, but you swallow a nervous whimper and continue into the dark bowels of the house...

*******

You enter a dark room in the center of the house. Shadows seem to swirl around your feet, sucking you in. In a burst of panic, you fumble for a light switch. You flip it up and down frantically, but the room remains immersed in darkness. Fear settles in and deep down you know you're not alone in the dark. Something brushes your back. You turn, but there is nothing. Nothing you can see, that is. Outside you can hear the autumn wind howling, and it almost sounds like laughter to your panicked mind. A low chuckle breaks your thought process, directly in front of you. You scream, but hear nothing in the overwhelming blackness. You're being drawn in, drowned in slumbering evil, there is no escape...
