Valentine’s Day is almost here and there are plenty of songs about love to listen to, but how about those songs you might not have thought of? Our friend Miranda has a fabulous blog Spooky Little Halloween.com where she celebrates Halloween 365 days a year. We did a feature post on her last year Discovering a Unique Halloween Lifestyle Blog that gives you all the fun facts about her work. She likes to “Valloweenify” Valentine’s Day or in other words make it more Halloween for fun. She recently wrote about spooky songs that can be equally romantic as the heart holiday ones. We’re posting her thoughts here. (from Spooky Little Halloween) Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you. At least, that’s what Classic IV likes to tell me. Their song, “Spooky”, is one of my favorite Halloween tunes no matter what time of year I hear…

Lovepop 3D cards are laser cut and intricately made to really make a statement. They are beautiful and it’s simply a joy to receive one in the mail. We’ve been fortunate as an affiliate to receive several of their cards. We’ve kept their Baby Yoda one and given as gifts the cherry blossom and mixed floral bouquet. It’s Halloween season and our favorite time of the year so we thought we’d post about Lovepop’s fall and Halloween collections and show you some of what they offer.

What To Do with Pumpkins After Halloween?

Halloween is over so what do you do with your left over Jack-o-lanterns or pumpkins? Quite a lot of things. You can do what our family did in 2011 and host a pumpkin smash-a-thon. We invited friend over, spread a tarp, and beat the snot out of ours! It was fun, but let me tell you it’s not as easy as you think. I suppose you could rig up a giant slingshot like they did in that “Modern Family” episode. Not sure you could use a school’s football field or where you’d get the huge slingshot – more power to you if you do! [envira-gallery id=’5956′] We found some good post-Halloween ideas in: “10 Ways to Recycle Your Pumpkins After Halloween”. Collect the seeds, put them on a pan, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and bake in the oven. Use them as table decoration for Thanksgiving. I often…

Hocus Pocus Fun Movie Facts

I came late to the party on “Hocus Pocos”. Watched it for the first time in 2019. I don’t always want to jump on the bandwagon for a movie simply because everyone else is. So, I resisted for years and could not understand the fever for the Sanderson Sisters. Once I watched it, I was hooked for life. I think we’ve seen it 3 times and will again before Halloween this year. I ran across this today online and thought it would be fun to post for future trivia nights. I fact checked the above and discovered that Garry Marshall who played the Devil was not one of the film’s directors. The movie came out in July to take advantage of kids being out of school. Everything else checked out. One of our favorite scenes – Amok! https://youtu.be/9qwEipKrV-0 Happy Hauntings and enjoy the spooky season!

If you’re like me, you might enjoy reading spooky stories all year round. If you only like to read them along with horror and supernatural ones during the Halloween season, we’ve found resources for you. Halloween reading is alive and well (yes, we said it). We found a Paste article listing the best 50 horror novels of all time, a fun Halloween book club you can join from a multitude of online places, and an intriguing novel we weren’t familiar with but will be ordering ASAP. If we love nothing at all, we do live for a good fairy tale! Have you lain awake at night wondering what the 50 best horror novels of all time are? No? Well neither have we, however, we were curious since it is October. Paste made a list in 2018 written by Steve Foxe and their staff and it’s pretty comprehensive. Yes, you can…

Cocktails are a major part of any night out or party. Halloween is the perfect time of year to try new ones. I am a vodka girl at heart, but I do love color and style in a good drink. I found 7 Halloween cocktails that are made of ingredients you probably have in your home or they’re easy to pick up whenever you’re out running errands. Most of these are from Delish.com. Parties will be hard to attend this year with the state the world is in, however it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy cocktails with family and friends via a good Zoom session or small-scale event, right? Or simply mix yourself one while you watch your favorite horror film. This post contains affiliate links.
