Party Planning and Menu While patiently waiting for Halloween, sometimes we’re gifted with an excuse to start early by celebrating a comparable…let’s call it “holiday.” That’s right, friends. This Friday is Friday the 13th, and for the Halloween and horror obsessed, the day is one marked by movie marathons, parties, and themed foods. What follows …
We’re well into the last week of the year, and I for one couldn’t be happier. Sure, we can get into the whole one-year-older frame of mind, but what good will it do? Instead, I like to embrace this holiday home stretch. I bask in the warmth of vacation days, swim in the pool of …
It’s over. Halloween has passed us by, and October has given way to the chill of November, but we have some unfinished business, you and I. There’s still that last week of marathon movies to list for you, and a recap of the holiday. If you’d like to go back and peruse my other marathon …

Week three! Woo! We are currently a mere four days away from Halloween, and I’ve just realized, I like the lead up to Halloween more than the night itself. Okay, no, that’s not entirely true.

Happy October! Oh yes. After nearly two months of anticipation, the big month has finally arrived. We’ve celebrated every celebrate-able moment of the season: the harvest moon, the autumnal equinox, the first day we spotted a leaf changing color, the first day we spotted Halloween items in a store… Of course we have to celebrate …
Creepy Freebies and October 1st Halloween Movie Marathon Madness Read More »
This is not the first time I’ve written about my horror movie marathon exploits. Nearly every year, around this time, I end up listing what I think are key movies to watch during October. This year, however, I’m approaching it in a slightly different way. You see, I recently joined a Facebook group called Halloween Horror …
As October approaches every year, I begin to stack DVDs add movies to my Netflix Queue, and fill in days on the calendar to be sure I get to watch every horror movie possible. It’s a yearly tradition, and even though I realize it makes me possibly even weirder than previously imagined, I do it anyway. What follows is …
What distinguishes my normal movie viewing habits from my October viewing habits? I actually put *forethought* into what I want to watch. Creepy, right? I used to simply grab three or four movies to watch on Halloween (or the night before, depending on my plans), but as the years have progressed, there are simply too …
