Here's a Halloween story.

In one of the road bands (touring cover band) I was in years ago we were in a little town called Wainwright, in Alberta. Wainwright is also a military base town. After finishing up our last set on a Saturday night that happened to be Halloween night that year so we were invited to a local  party. We were in our costumes as was everybody else at the party. Our drummer at the time was as most people say, a hothead! Dude got mad very easily.   He   Ken   was dressed as the A&W Rootbear (The mascot) He paid over 300 for the real costume so it actually looked like the Rootbear was at the party.

Ken the rootbear was playing pool in the main party room where the home bar was and something must have went wrong as suddenly a bunch of military guys started getting really, really tense and it looked like their necks were getting larger like the hulk! We were shoved against walls and basically told we had no more than 20 seconds to get ourselves and "that fucking bear guy" out of there with our lives.

We - of course - albeit somewhat passively obliged..   A guy pointed as if to direct me to head around the corner to where I saw the A&W Rootbear in a full-on brawl with a military jarhead dressed as the devil from the movie, Legend. And he the devil guy pulled it off too because he had the same build as the devil character.   Two really well done costumes.   Funniest thing I ever saw.   ken would have died as the Rootbear


Sorry it's not scary

I recommend the Netflix show Marianne. I'm pretty desensitized to horror but this one got me in parts. I binged it over 2 days.  It's French but has English dub or subtitles whichever you prefer.  I highly recommend it.  I'll list my obscure and independent horror film recommendations later!

A&W Bear vs Darkness, that had to be a sight. I think Darkness was played by Tim Curry. Just looked him up after aeeing him in Clue.

I will definitely look for it. Subtitled. I'm a snob. Looking forward to your other recommendations

Sounds scary enough to me. A bear and a devil walk out of a bar ...

I downloaded the radiocast - is that a word? - specifically for Halloween. But I have already listened to it so many times I have it memorized. A perfect Haloween treat. The backstory is not to be missed. The countrywide panic was the greatest Halloween trick
 
Orson Welles was genius. And the perfect voice for radio. He was 25 when he made War of the Worlds. And a Libra

First 3 of my non mainstream movie recommendations.

Hellhouse LLC (available on Amazon prime)
Lake Mungo (also on prime,  documentary style and very creepy) 
Trick or Treat. A fun anthology movie that captures the spirit and atmosphere of the holiday so well

I was 11 and 13 when I saw these movies in theaters for the first time. Scared the living bejesus out of me!

The scariest thing I saw on Halloween was one year in Atlanta, a guy about 6-6 showed up wearing a gorilla suit. Instead of a bag for candy, he held out a liquor bottle with a funnel in the top. Luckily, I had some rotgut bourbon to pour into his bottle.

I may have told this story before.

In 1995 I was doing some work in the early days of the internet and got hooked up with a woman from Alabama that was some type of media and show producer. And by hooked up, I mean professionally. I had no interest in this person. She got me tickets for the Talladega NASCAR race in July because she knew the mayor. Front row on the straightaway just passed the finish line.  She invited me up to a fashion show in Dallas because she wanted me to be a male model - well really more of a male escort for the female models in a fashion show that was touring nationally to raise money for AIDS research. Moulin Rouge was the corporate sponsor and all of the world’s most famous designers had designed red dresses.  After the nationwide tour these dresses were going to be auctioned off and the money used for charity.

The Dallas show was the first show on the tour and it was held in an area called Deep Ellum.  I did not realize at the time I agreed to go that the show was on Halloween. Well an AIDS benefit fashion show on Halloween basically gave free license to every non-straight person to attend and dress to the nines in every costume imaginable. I was dressed in a basic stylish tux and I was way underdressed.

Hanging out with the models while they were being made up was a little kinky and it actually made me uncomfortable but my sponsor must of thought I was really interested in seeing mostly naked women getting makeup and hairdos. When I didn’t show a lot of interest in that she probably just figured I was gay.

I don’t drink alcohol but the alcohol was sure flowing that night. Mostly champagne. Everyone was getting pretty loose.

That evening I was sexually harassed, had my genitals groped and my ass pinched several times. I left when the person that was dressed as Barney in drag pinched my ass for the second time.

I went back to our hotel suite.  She had promised me a room. I found out when I got there that we were sharing a room. Since she was the producer she had to stay until the end of the show. I climbed into bed fully clothed and went to sleep. I am sure that she just assumed I really was gay because she left me alone and was rather chilly the next day while I waited for my cab to the airport.

So that was probably my scariest Halloween.

She asked me to work the show as an escort when they came to Houston but by then it was hunting season so I passed.

That is hilarious! At least you got away with....ahem....everything intact. Talk about real trick or treat! 😁
