Yes, that's me. I guess that was about 86' or so, when He-Man ruled my life. That's my Dad, the clown and my sister, the baby. Halloween has always been a huge deal to me. I guess it has something to do with the smell in the air this time of year, and perhaps the thought of ghostly spirits walking around in the night. It still sends chills up my spine a little. I have fond memories of my Mom ordering pizza while we got our costumes on, and my Dad would be cranking M.J's Thriller while adjusting the speed on the strobe light that would be directed at the front of our house. I usually knew what my costume would be around Sept.1st each year. To my recollection, they included, and not in any particular order....
He-Man, A Pirate, Zombie, Ninja, Gorilla, Freddy Krueger and The Terminator. Last year, I dressed up as a Butcher of humans. Yes, I have a strange affliction with this time of year, and I think I always will. We don't have kids yet, but it's stuff like Halloween that pushes me in that direction a little more each year. We already have our pumpkins ready, and I have a dead man sitting in a chair in my garage. Don't worry, I didn't kill him. He's just waiting to be sat on our front porch for Halloween night. I also usually hook up my P.A System in the windows upstairs, cranking scary sound effects so the whole neighbourhood knows how crazy I really am. Don't be scared kids! We have chocolate too!

Me too man, I was batman 4 years in a row. Among others, Darth Vader, Vampire, Chewbacca, my folks dressed me up as a girl once, there's photo evidence but it'll be buried with me.
Aw, I have those same fond memories. I had forgotten that you went as the Terminator once! Awesome.
