So, I love Halloween. No, seriously, I freaking LOVE Halloween! It's my favorite holiday. In fact, at one point, I decided I wasn't getting enough of it. I would get to the end of October, and realize that I hadn't watched half the horror movies I'd meant to watch, and I came to the conclusion that, to get what I wanted out of Halloween, I would need more time. So I started watching horror movies in September. Sounds drastic, but it isn't. My birthday is in September, and since what I always wanted was more Halloween stuff, I decided that, for me, the Howling Season would henceforth, now, and forevermore begin September 1 and continue allllllllll the way through to October 31.
It was a fantastic move on my part, if I do say so, myself. By September 1st, I'm usually chomping at the bit (to my wife's great consternation) for Halloween to begin. And this year is no exception. I am super-excited about what - to me - is the (truly) most wonderful time of the year. And for that reason, I will be featuring some new Halloween Treat (or Trick) every week through the end of October. Mostly, this will be some movie that I have watched, or book that I have read that especially got me going. In addition, I will be trying to stay on top of all the great Halloween shenanigans going on in October, like haunted houses, graveyard tours, zombie runs, horror conventions, etc., that will help keep the spirit alive (or undead, or however you want it)! And if any of you have anything us horror-philes need to know about, then please, by all means, chime in, and let us know. After all, we're in this together.
So grab my hand. Hold tight. And repeat after me: "None of this is real. It's all just fun and games."
Isn't it?
