Top 10 Best Things about Halloween

Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday.  You might have already figured that out due to my incessant Halloween blogs, and I am certainly not finished with that quite yet.  This is Halloween week, the best week of the year! Here are my top ten favorite things about Halloween.

1.       Adorable toddler trick-or-treaters.  My favorite ones I’ve seen are dinosaurs, ladybugs, and farm animals. 

2.       Disney movies such as Halloweentown and Hocus Pocus.  What is Halloween without them, really?

3.       Sugar skulls (and Day of the Dead in general).

4.       “Thriller” and “Monster Mash” are classics. Also check out “Shankill Butchers” by Sarah Jarosz.  It’s the perfect creepy song to play for parties or just for yourself if you’re also a Halloween addict like me.

5.       Ghosts and séances seem so much more realistic around Halloween, and although I’m too afraid of opening up portals for demons, I still would love to try it out.

6.       Décor such as black lace (see my Halloween/Fall DIY for an awesome mason jar), jack-o-lanterns, black cats, etc.

7.       When a Stranger Calls (2006) and Panic Room are my favorite scary movies for Halloween along with pretty much any haunting or demonic possession movies.

8.       I love the chilly weather that adds spookiness to the holiday.  Think about it, Halloween wouldn’t be as scary in spring…

9.       Haunted Houses.  Buffalo has some awesome attractions such as Frightworld and Haunted Catacombs.  Also the real haunted houses that every city and town has.  I suggest if you can find one nearby without the risk of being arrested for trespassing, go visit one.

10.   Finally, everyone’s favorite thing about Halloween is the candy.  When I was a kid I would take pillowcases instead of those fake pumpkins and collect so much I’d be set until after Thanksgiving.

That’s all, I hope you enjoyed. If you would like, you can subscribe via email at the bottom of the page to get updates whenever I post (about twice a week).  Thanks for reading!
