Hello,
Welcome to another old Edu-idea of mine!
F.A.Q.:
What are "Undead Daze", and why did I start them on Mental Health Awareness Day?:
These can be the adventures/ journeys taken that can bring us awareness of our own mental health, while we are out and about in costume during the Halloween season. As some create ourselves "from the ground up" several times throughout our lives, this can be a useful tool for self-improvement efforts. When we think in this realm (even when not in costume) throughout the year, we can use this tool at any time.

WHAT
A series of community awareness/ growth opportunities throughout the month.
Runs: Oct.5th - Oct.31st.
OPTIONS:
a) Find out what, where, and when themed fun is happening throughout the month.
b) An "opinion pole": What would you like to see offered within our community?
Write it down, blog it, or submit it someone that can do something with it!
c) A self-study of how we interact when in costume/ behind a mask.
Does it bring up any "cautionary awareness" of our own mental health? We can only improve on any negatives, if we acknowledge, realize, and recognize them. It's good to stretch our minds, and bodies - before they get too stiff. "Interesting Finds (I.F.)" can be everywhere, even in our own "back yard".
Feel free to invite family/ friends, and add extra fun by dressing for the occasion(s)!

'Le Challenge' #2: Halloween Caper
Pick a weekend in October that is before OR after the "usual" times/ weekends of celebrations, and attend an event(s) within our communities while dressed in costume/ for Halloween.
+
'Le Challenge' #3: Be Frank for a day!
October 26th is known as Frankenstein Friday!
Can you walk/ dress to look like Frank? Are you brave enough to go for a stroll, take city transit, or attend an event(s) outside/ around your neighbourhood/ community like this?
~+=
PREPARATION LIST
Hair, skin, scar(s), bolts, coat/ shirt, and pants - shoes optional.
+
BONUS: Kitchener/ Waterloo King St. Krawl (KKK+)
This year (2014), it is on the 2nd last weekend - October 18th.
Usually the last Saturday night before Halloween Day, but depends on Northbound Leather's event. This may be relocated to the weekend prior.
It's a 'Halloween Community Sprawl!' (1008121051PMishC.E.S.)
Attend at least 3 locations along this street that runs through both cities!
The best parts lie in the options you choose:
~ How many locations to attend, and in which order.
~ Amounts of time & money spent in each location.
~ When you are done, and if you want to repeat it next year!
WHY
~ To encourage awareness and participation of community businesses, activities, events, and opportunities.
~ To enable more choice/ "voice" from our community, to those who organize/ run our community activities, events, opportunities, and otherwise.
~ To encourage awareness of our own mental illnesses/ health, and enable improvements within ourselves.
~ To enable expanded thinking about negatives, as possible positives.
~ To enable a positive perspective, of the widely known negative term attached to the letter "K" being used 3 times together.
~ To encourage other examples of Life's negative perspectives, to be changed to positives.
NOTE:
Things that make a positive change/ difference is what the world needs. Whether it's changing perspectives, encouraging the good in others by example/ suggestion, or other means; we all could use more in Life!
