Halloween
Halloween is an annual holiday, falling on October 31. It has often had significance for Chris. He may not have a high opinion of it as bad stuff tends to happen to him around this time, as documented below.
Historic Halloweens
1998 or 1999
Barb makes Chris's Ash Ketchum costume.[1]
2007
Halloween 2007 coincided with the emergence of Chris-chan on the Internet: he appeared in a SomethingAwful thread on 26 October, got an Encyclopedia Dramatica page on 3 November (not Halloween itself, as Chris has claimed) and 4chan fanart existed the next day.
2008
Chris had hoped to go with Blanca to a "local Halloween party",[2] but unfortunately she stole his medallions and outed herself as a troll before he could. He said that he had no plans for Halloween[3], and so a crack squadron of trolls infiltrated the grounds of 14 Branchland Court that Halloween night, leaving a sign reading "ENCYCLOPEDIA DRAMATICA ♥ JIMMY HILL" on the front lawn. Chris went apeshit, and a year later tore up the sign on YouTube while making death threats against Vivian Gee, Clyde Cash and their families.
Chris later claimed that Mimms and Megan were the ones who left the sign. This is unconfirmed and unlikely, especially as Megan has never shown any sign of engaging with trolls.[4]
2009
Chris planned on going to a party at a counseling center, most likely at Rocky's suggestion. A loyal Nintendo fanboy, Chris was going to dress up as beloved corporate shill Captain N, but was too lazy to get a decent costume and instead planned on wearing his ancient Ash getup.[5] He never mentioned it again, so it's not known if he actually went or not, but as he uploaded three videos that day (Getting Foam Ed for Clyde Cash, and My Half of A Whole New World for Kacey and Greetings to Kaceys Folks) he probably stayed at home.
2010
Jackie asked Chris to join "Jacklyn's Naughty No Trick, All Treat, 31 Days of Halloween Contest" — he had to upload a video for YouTube every day in October, mentioning a secret in each that he'd never told anybody, and, in return, Jackie would fuck him on 1 November. However, Chris failed to keep to schedule, provoking Jackie's ire and removing any chance of china Chris had.
2011
Chris spent Halloween in jail after his 28 October attack on The GAMe PLACe. Barb appeared in court on Halloween to be formally charged with failing to stop after an accident, and with felony assault on a jerkop.
2012
Chris did nothing for Halloween this year; however, ten days prior he wrote: "I, Christian Weston Chandler, am guilty of a lot of things that have been mistakenly uploaded and leaked online; I have for a long time been stricken and made beyond crestfallen by the repercussions of my actions and words. And great mockery and egging has befallen me for years now, and it seriously needs to stop now. There are no "laughs" longer to be made at my expense, and the running gag is at the end of its tracks. It is better to Forgive and Forget, as told by Jesus, our lord, and is the way of our almighty God. So to everybody who has felt wronged with stuff I have done in the past, I am really, sincerely sorry. All I ask is for everybody's forgiveness and for everybody to forget my mistakes, errors, everything. Please, just forget about me in total; please, disband all online groups and individual hatreds against me; please, remove everything about me off of the Internet, your minds, and your hearts."
2013
Halloween 2013 was a true dark night of the soul for Christian. On the 30th, he received traumatic news that his Manchester High School gal-pals were neither true nor honest: "I am shocked to hear that everyone was my friend, because they felt sorry for me." This realization (only 13 years too late) that his friends were playing Pity the Autistic and didn't really like him had the opportunity to crush Chris's one really happy memory. He posted to Molly Quarles, asking if she too was merely being nice, and called on his old MHS to visit his house in person to apologize (for what, is unclear).In keeping with the holiday spirit, he said he felt like "an emotional zombie."[6]
2014
A week before Halloween 2014, Chris asked of his Facebook friends, "Can anyone recommend any legitimate and good Halloween Parties in Charlottesville, VA, please?" He eventually made the very atypical decision to spend the holiday patronizing the Impulse Gay Social Club dressed as a "Groovy 70's Lesbian Chic." Chris had originally hoped that if his girlfriend Catherine was in town, they could wear costumes with a "Lesbians Through Time" theme, with her as "the Past Lesbian" and himself as the aforementioned hippie. Unfortunately, she couldn't come, so Chris had to go alone.
The extent of his participation was not immediately known, as he only posted a bathroom selfie on Facebook. Knowing Chris, he probably just played with his Nintendo DS the whole time. The fact that Chris even entered a gay bar was somewhat mind boggling at the time, given his ongoing homophobia and his prior insistence that he would never enter such an establishment. It was unknown whether Chris had truly shed his homophobic tendencies or whether he was just harassing lesbians at a gay bar.
2015
Chris unveiled Halloween costumes for the Sonichu family, who appeared as Equestria Girls characters. He instructed his Facebook followers, "Stay Safe while Trick-or-Treating, escorting the children on the outing, or while partying."
