halloween

Get into the Halloween spirit; all about trick or treating, spooky costumes, Halloween decorations and haunted houses for October 31st and all year round.

Here wolfie, wolfie, wolfie!
Yesterday, my wife and I were sitting in front of the television, having dinner. A news bulletin came on about how shops here in Ireland are gearing up for Halloween. I made a casual remark to my wife along the lines of "phew, thank God we don't have to worry about all that nonsense anymore". In fact, I think I went on to say something like "let's turn out the lights, lock the door and pretend we're not home", thus negating the need for us to have treats for all of the brats who would dare to disturb my evening.

Quarantined Halloween 2020
I'm a huge Halloween lover. Since I became a teacher, I always dressed up for my students for Halloween. I went to university dressed in Halloween attire and it really had nothing to do with the cliché 'death and gore' of it all. It was because it gave me a reason to dress up and where wigs, to make people laugh at my funny costumes and actually have a reason to do so. I mean once, I think I went to university dressed as Lestat from "Interview with the Vampire" and the very next year I went as Kiriyama from "Battle Royale" so you can tell how informed I am about the season.

The Halloween Costume I Remember When I Was A kid.
I had very fond memories of Halloween when I was a kid. In some ways when I think back to those days they're fond memories because I remember the good times I had with my late mom. She was the one that used to come out with me and my brother to go trick or treating. I always remember how fun I used to have when I was a kid back then.

Revisiting John Carpenter's 'Halloween'. Top Story - October 2020.
There was an uncanny spectral element to the film. The vintage aesthetic, the way the camera maneuvered throughout its entire duration. Its minimal use of spectacle and special effects. Its impeccable flow; transitioning from scene to scene without losing a grasp of my attention.

Home Alone
When I was 17 years old, my parents decided to go on a vacation for their 20th anniversary. They tended to travel a lot for work, so being left at home with my big brothers wasn’t anything new. We had moved to a new neighborhood a few months before, so besides the scenery, not too much had really changed.

Fears, Chills and Shivers
Gather children as I spin a tale or two of a house I once knew. It was not very big or either small and not that different from many others in the neighborhood. It was said that an elderly couple once occupied the home. The wife and husband were nice to all that knew them. They were happy as can be, until one day the little old man became sick and past away. With her husband no longer alive the wife did not wish to stay.

Why We Need Halloween This Year
Honestly, how did we make it this far? This year has been nothing short of a tumultuous roller coaster made of rotting wood with no seatbelt. We approached 2020 with such high aspirations: Valentines: Friday, Cinco de Mayo was on Taco Tuesday, 4th of July: Saturday, Halloween: Saturday, Christmas: Friday.

Spooky Season
While I find it so important to focus on the current events in terms of our government at the moment, I also believe it is important to talk about those things that we are looking forward to. I am a huge Halloween fan, growing up I learned that I loved to scare people and to be scared. This was mostly in part to the fact that my Dad's birthday fell on Halloween, so while many people went out trick-or-treating, as I did, I also had something else to look forward to, our annual Halloween party.
