October Kickoff!!

 31 Days of Halloween begins!

    Welcome my lovelies to the kickoff of the 31 Days of Halloween event. Every day will host a slew of new stuff. Questions, would you rather, movie, photos will all be playing in. Play along each day and share you answer to the days interests! Let's jump in, shall we?

Q&A

Favorite thing about Fall

    You can't beat the color of the leaves. Here in the mountains, it is such a spectacular sight. Looking down across a valley and seeing the palette or colors makes a good day of work for the photographer of me. But even at that, falling leaves make beautiful subjects too. Especially when you add water to the mix.


 Movie Night Title

Amityville Horror


    In prime fashion of kicking things off running, we will start with Amityville Horror. There's really no bad choice between the original 1979 version. Hey, I was one year old, so this shit is in my blood. It takes a lot to creep me out, but psychological tricks will do it more often than not. I want that edge of your seat, genuine scare. Unfortunately, the only things that provide that are Japanese horror movies. And that is why you won't see those on my list. But I might be bribed into putting something together for next years 31 Days of Halloween event. 

    But at any rate, it's not hard to see that it has played into my own decorating skills. This is a photo that I found (looking for something else, of course) from 2017s Amityville window.



     That was a decent year. Still a little messy but, you know, murder scenes always are.

    Don't forget to come back tomorrow for more. Also swing by Insta and see what I'm cooking up over there. I'm going to be stocking up on farmers market fall finds all this month, so you never know what I might bring home. Like, literally, it can be anything. Last time, it was a giant metal chick from Tractor Supply. But that is another story for another day. See, now you're hooked and need to know about the giant metal chick.

  It's coming, it's coming!!! Q&A Nightmare Before Christmas or Hocus Pocus     While I do enjoy Hocus Pocus, I will usually choose Nightmare Before Christmas just because it doesn't really age. I can enjoy it just as much now as I did when it first came out. Nightmare Before Christmas is always on my Halloween night tradition list to watch. It's a great introduction into the remaining holidays of the year. Movie Night Title Army of Darkness     One more final viewing before the big day. So much to do, so little time to do it. The day is arriving soon and I can't wait to show off how everything turned out. If you've been stalking my Insta then you have an idea of what's to come.

Day 25

  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...

  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...
