A Bohemian Haunt

  It's coming... Q&A Trick or Treat or Scary Movies     How is this one even a question? There is no choice. Both. Both is good. Honestly, both is true. Being the Halloween house in my teeny town, I always do the handing out of candy for Trick or Treaters. Every year the number of kids goes up as word gets around. Except for last year. Last year it snowed and things got delayed and it still ended up cold and rainy for Trick or Treat night. This year though, things could go either way. I haven't really seen any word come down about Trick or Treat yet so I'm still planning things as if they will be going forward. But, once Trick or Treat ends, it's upstairs for me for scary movies all night long. Movie Night Title Evil Dead 2     We're keeping the Evil Dead train rolling through. I guess because I still feel a little guilty that things didn't go as planned for the haunt. But there's always next season. Since it will be even bigger and of course, better.  ...

  Only a few more days Q&A Go to bed Early or Stay up Late     I used to be able to stay up late all the time. I was the picture image of a night owl, with midnight being my earliest bedtime. It seemed to work best as a writer, since my best inspiration and work came between midnight and three am. I am pretty sure I can thank NaNoWriMo for that schedule. It seems that now I have lost my ability to stay up late. I have to keep to a medication routine since I have a pet on insulin. I also am an early riser so sleep and coffee are my friends. Movie Night Title Evil Dead     This begins my traditional marathoning of everything Evil Dead. Starting with the movies and bingeing the tv show. There is never a year that I will miss this opportunity. Especially this year since my Evil Dead section of the haunt did not fully come to fruition. However, things worked out amazing as is and now I know what I want to do and buy/build for next year. Gotta start somewhere righ...

  The end is nigh Q&A Favorite Costume as a Kid     I had two favorite costumes as a kid and I usually rotated them. I was Wonder Woman for a few years straight. This one has never changed, I was Wonder Woman again a couple years ago. My other pick was She-Ra. This was one of my all time favorites. Those two were in constant rotation as a kid. Now, as an adult, I try to rotate costumes each year being something new. I was Connor from Assassins Creed one year. Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, about three years ago. Yea... I'm sure you can see a theme emerging here.  Movie Night Title Shaun of the Dead      I adore British movies and you can not go wrong with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost working together. So of course this is going to end up on my list of favorites as well as a Halloween tradition. Zombie flicks are very hit or miss with me. There's only so many ways that you can play on the dead rising. Plus, I'm one of the weird ones who always wants to s...

  It's within reach! Q&A Favorite Halloween Candy     I am all for candy and have a huge sweet tooth. I'm always worried every year when I buy candy for the kids, that it won't make it to Halloween. So candy is usually a last minute purchase. Either that or I end up with a ton of bags because I know I'm going to eat it. There's only one rule in my house about candy. Touch my Reese's Cups and we will have problems. I buy bags of them for myself to try and deter myself from eating the kids candy.  Movie Night Title Rocky Horror Picture Show     This is a tradition in my house. It's one that I watch every year. I absolutely love it. One year I will eventually bake lip shaped cookies for the event.     I actually have not baked this year, or in fact last year either. With my health being in the crapper last year, I wasn't up to it. This year, I was hoping to get to bake something but time has not been my friend. And now, with all the heavy wo...

  We are under a week Almost there Q&A Carve Pumpkins or Make Pumpkin Pie     This is actually an easy question for me. I am not a big fan of pumpkin flavor so when I bake, it's usually cookies and cupcakes. However, I love carving pumpkins every year. The number that I will carve will depend on how I feel that particular year and how much other things I have to do. I try to carve as close to Halloween as I can, just to preserve the freshness of the pumpkins. I don't want them to wilt too much before the big night. This year I am carving two pumpkins. Mainly because I have been doing so much other work and building props. I have also not even begun to look for ideas as to what I will carving.  Movie Night Title Dreamcatcher      This pick is pretty much for the fact that I love Stephen King. I had started reading the book but got distracted with life and work. When I heard they were optioning the novel for the big screen, I had to finish it. So I b...

  Omg check it out One week left!!! Q&A Picking Apples or Hay Ride     When it comes to fall activities, some things are easier to do depending on where you live. I've always preferred hay rides to apple picking. Mostly because apple picking always seemed like a chore. Haunted hay rides were the best. It was the element of not being able to stop and focus on something long enough to determine what or how something was. They were a deciding factor in what I wanted to do when I grew up. Movie Night Title Pan's Labyrinth     Yet again, we have a new one. I have actually never seen this. But I have been told (numerous times) that I absolutely need to see it. So I guess this one was picked for me.
