I’ll go first. I love watching Over The Garden Wall every October, either on Halloween or a bit earlier. What about you?
My roommate is obsessed with Halloween and does one of those little model villages every year with tiny spooky buildings that light up and stuff. I sometimes sculpt or 3D print parts and props for it. It’s fun to see how much joy he gets out of it, and how it grows a little each year.
i make it a point to do both halloween & dia de los muertos just to extend the halloween spirit a little bit longer and give me a 4 day weekend. lol
Cabin in the Woods.
I try to find a person who doesn’t know about it an force them into watching it to watch their reactions. Almost as entertaining as the movie, and the move is great.
Add Tucker and Dale vs Evil to that category.
I’ve been rewatching at least one of Michael Flanagan’s horror series every year. Haunting of Hill House is my fave, but there’s also Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, Midnight Club, and Fall of the House of Usher. And a movie or two of his.
I try to make my own version of some popular fall food or drink. Like pumpkin spice whatever, apple cider doughnuts, sweet potato pie.
I don’t get trick or treaters, so I like mooching off friends. If someone has a super low key “party” where I can throw some candy at kids with fun costumes that come to their door, I’m there.
Hill house was BRUTAL. Definitely the scariest among his stuff, though i havent watched house usher yet.
I would also recommend Doctor Sleep if you haven’t seen it. It’s a wonderful sequel/tribute to the Shining and so, so dark.
I definitely read the book, which was an ok spooky adventure novel more than the moody horror of the shining.
I eat a shit ton of candy.
I gotta say: I love this. It’s super late, but I’ll come back with a story or two. 🕸️🐈⬛🦇🖤💀🌚🎃👻
The movie Trick 'r Treat, scaring the neighborhood kids, and blowing out all the jack o lanterns at 12:01.
And leave out a bowl of milk and a tray of candies for the demons/fairies overnight.
