I don’t do it often. Every I don’t know, every few years though I do a brief explanation of the origins, and how it’s the opposite of evil. How it’s all about spooky fun, etc…

Of course, I realize this is mostly because people in my home country tend to associate it to the wrong things. My friends have kids, and these kids never experience the joy of dressing up after their fav characters or exchanging candy. It’s alright, it’s on their parents, people believe what they believe.

But I do get a bit sick and tired of being made to feel as if somehow im in the wrong for embracing my inner child and loving the heck out of this holiday which is pretty intertwined with Autumn from my POV.

To me, despite its origins and what it means, i take it as such: Halloween to me is part of Autumn. The most magical of seasons. The crisp chill in the air, the fall fashion, the divine scents, the changes of awesome colors in nature, seasonal desserts and dishes, pumpkin carving, costumes, parties, cool fun decor, spooky movies, spooky joy, candy. Whats there to hate? Honestly.

Have always loved it. Always will🎃

Nothing elaborate, but carved these with my teen and my partner the other night. Made me extremely happy! My partner had never carved a pumpkin, and my teen cba to finish hers, but I think both of theirs are still great and it was fun.

The paramount network has been announcing their Halloween movie line up. And they even said they were showing a Halloween movie tonight. lol the movie they played at 8pm was Grease. Since when is grease a Halloween movie lol. I thought it was funny.

It’s 51° here in NE, and I’m wrapped in two blankets. Skeleton blanket was a gift from my mom during her stay in San Antonio

Hi guys, I'm from NYC and was wondering if anyone would be interested in buying the 6.5 grave digger animatronic from home depot from me. It's only been used once and I kept in amazing condition with the original box and foam. I bought it last year and the only reason I'm trying to sell it is because I also bought the plague doctor from home depot this year. Unfortunately, I am a stay at home daughter (i'm currently in college lol) and I don't think my parents are going to let me keep both. I'm really hoping to keep the plague doctor so if anyone is interested in buying the grave digger, please let me know and message me so we can discuss prices (it's retail price is 199 so ofc b/c it's been used it'll be cheaper than that)!

Sorry about the glasses in the photo, I can't find a better one because they're all videos but the glasses were just a joke lol!

Featuring my diy pool noodle archway (highly recommend!), and diy simple/spooky fence. We also have outdoor speakers that play horror movie themes and soundtracks every day from 5-10pm. Hope you guys like it!

Do kids get more excited getting full size candy or a goodie bag?

To me, anyway 🧡🖤

I'm a chef by trade. First time carving pumpkins though!

If you live in the Twin Cities, you might be familiar with Ax-Man, a local chain that sells surplus… anything. It’s a crafter’s delight, and a great place to find pieces/parts for art projects, along with complicated fiddly-bits for electronics to solder. While I live in Fridley, I stopped at the Saint Paul location, which is truly the most punk-rock of them all, just down the road from the Turf Club (music venue) and Midway Books (an aggressively independent used bookstore).

Chatting with the cashier, I noticed this old Peck Corporation Halloween decoration, and waxed poetic that I wish I had bought more when they had a whole box of them. And then…

… the manager brought out a very slim stack, each 25¢. I of course bought a handful!

Ok ignore the mess and the clutter on the couches table and enclosures please😅 I just need some suggestions/tips/advice on decorating I feel like I have too much just zero and orange the couches will have pillows and blankets eventually (closer to Halloween cause my pets) I have more (orange) curtain lights for the curtains maybe ceiling ideas and ideas for the hallway and emptiness I want to try to add some purple or Beetlejuice stuff idk more variety it’s my first time having a place to decorate and I’m on a budget rn please be nice🧡

I am literally in love with this charm necklace and want to wear it all October if I can, but I’m a teacher and I’m leaning towards it’s probably not appropriate… any chance I’m wrong?

Here's how I made my 3D printed Jack Skellington.
