I'm gonna say a umpa-lumpa from Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.What do you think? And anyone else you would like to take a guess on based on their online personality.

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but I'm a homebody for Halloween tonight. Here's why...
I think I lost my interest in Halloween when I was about 4 and my mom dreamed up this costume for me to be a 'dead head on a table.' Let me explain. She constructed a plank of thin plywood, cut a hole in the middle to put my head through, put a tin platter around my neck, silverware in the appropriate places on the table and a table cloth on the whole thing. Well, as you can imagine, it was very hard to get in and out of doorways and generally was a very difficult "costume" to get though the night of candy hunting. Now that I'm 34, I don't eat candy and I couldn't give two shakes about Halloween...and I'm sitting here thinking, hmmm, there really must be a connection...what do you think?!?

Wait until you have kids. They love it and the excitement wears off onto the parents. I took my kids trick or treating and attended a halloween party all between 6-9pm. Then the kids are on a sugar high and getting tired. So they act real...weird.
Entertaining in a weird way.

Greg, my Halloween story also involves a head. We set up a table in the courtyard of my sister's house minus the middle leaf (nice slot for my head). My makeup included a fright wig, bug eyes and an application of rubber cement that allowed me to distort my face any number of grotesque ways. Over the table went a table cloth with a hole for my head and on top of that went a metal cake cover that completely covered my head.
My sister stood at the door and invited the little buggers to lift the lid and help themselves to all the candy they wanted. Well, the trick was on them when thay lifted the lid. I only got smacked by a frightened child once or twice. We had a ball!
