I think the "Whee! Strange clothing!" aspect is the best part. Like one thing I learned early was that you always wanted to be in clothes you felt comfortable in. You can't be yourself if you're fighting with a costume.
I kind of miss it (well, not the marketing so much). :D
Heh. Yeah, Halloween starts in August practically now (and Xmas starts right after Halloween). I'm amazed looking at some of the costumes for kids I see in stores here--they're much more elaborate and cool than anything I remember when I was a kid. (Like they used to sell those costumes that were like pajamas with the picture of the character on them--how is that a costume?) Last year my favorite one was this guy walking with what I think was his daughter but I couldn't tell because she was a toothbrush. I mean a serious toothbrush. I don't know how she saw through the bristles, but she looked great.
