My most memorable Halloween was when I was eight or nine or so, and I was out trick or treating. I was not feeling so well and had a stomach ache and I tried to barf, but instead, I shit my pants. I don't even remember what the costume was, but I had to steal somebody's bike so I could go home and change my underwear so I could go back out and continue trick or treating.

My most memorable Halloween I would have to say is about 2-3 years ago, I was on a boat, we were doing a show. It was just crazy. I don't know if you ever seen that Sex Pistols show when they went off on the boat around the corner... But let's just say, I think the captain had a few too many and he steered us into a rock and put a big hole in the ship. We didn't even know what had happened; we obviously felt it hit, but the boat was slowly sinking. They announced that we had to head back because of this. We didn't have to jump ship or anything, but it was kind of crazy. Then, later on that same night, I got hit in the face with one of those yellow "slippery than wet" signs that they put out when the floors are wet. Someone picked one up and whacked me across the face with it and busted my face open. Yeah... that was a memorable night...

TIM - My Scary story is my younger brother has what they call night terrors. It's kinda like sleepwalking but you are sleepwalking in your nightmare and he would have conversations with us. He would come into my mom's bedroom and tell her stories of how he was going crazy and these people were after him. He would tell her that 'they have to take me mom, but I would not let them take you." My mom would pretend that she would take him to the hospital, and would get him in the car and drive around to calm him down, so the night terror would end; and he never would remember the next day. This one time, I decided to go check on him, and I opened the door to his room. He sat up straight in his bed and looked at me and told me that I could not come in. I was like "It's just me. I just wanted to see if you were sleeping." And he said, "Not you! The guy behind you!' He was actually having a night terror, but for that spilt second, I though someone was behind me, about to put an axe through my shoulder.

MPJ - How old were you when this happened?

TIM - I was about 18.

One Halloween Night, a couple of friends and I were walking down a neighborhood street, getting into some mischief. And we see this big flag pole, like a 16feet flag pole with a giant American flag on it. So, we take it down and get the flag down. We decided to run around with the flag, like a cape, because we were idiots. One of our neighbors saw us do this and he gets into his car and comes after us. So, every time we would see a car, we would hall ass back into the bushes. But he was too fast for us though, and he saw us. So, we take off running. Four guys get out of the car and start chasing us. Me, like a dumb-ass was wearing a white shirt that night. This big dude was hauling ass after me, on my tail, he jumps on me and tackles me into the grass. He pulled my arms behind my back, like in a wrestling hold, and drags me back to the car where it was this guy, his dad and these other two guys; I was the only one, out of the three of us, that got caught by the way; where these guys took me home to my mommy and told her what I did and I got grounded. And that was Halloween night.

My most memorable Halloween: When I was little, I remember that I had a typical go-to-Wal-Mart blow-up monster outfit that kind of fit over your head. You painted your face black, to blacken your face out and there was this blow up thing that fit on the top of your head. Half way through trick-or-treating, the top deflated and I had this thing flopping on my head. But I kept trick-or-treating, and it probably looked better that way. I also live near Santa Cruz, CA now, and in Santa Cruz, they block off the streets on Halloween where everyone comes out and do this big "Marti- Gras" kind of thing. They have these bumper stickers that say 'Santa Cruz weird?" There are plenty of weird people in Santa Cruz. The Costumes were fun. Not really that ordinary but really tongue n cheek type. Halloween has a lot of good memories. I was the kid who traded my candy in for fruit, well at least the candy that I didn't like.
