There are two kinds of scary Halloween costumes: the “I’m dressed as a serial killer or a monster, and you must be afraid of me” kind, and the “Oh god, why is that baby mask looking into my soul? I will never sleep again” kind. I have always found that costumes not intended to scare me are much creepier than those that are obviously trying to frighten me. It seems that in the past, ALL costumes fell into the first category. I personally remember how in the '80s, every kid's mask during Hallowee…

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of Halloween season ! The moment October hits, I’m already dreaming up costume ideas, rifling through fabric scraps, and imagining what I could create this year. For me, Halloween is more than just a day—it’s a month-long celebration filled with creativity, excitement, and the joy of becoming someone (or something) else for a night. The best part? Getting to see everyone else’s costumes! There’s this incredible energy when you’re out, surrounded by other co…

Halloween might just top the charts as my all-time favorite holiday. Sure, I'm all about the festive cheer of Christmas, and Thanksgiving feasts hold a special place in my heart, but there's an undeniable allure to Halloween. That classic blend of orange and black? Total game-changer! Honestly, I'm tempted to drench my home in those shades all year long. The real charm of Halloween, though, lies in its celebration of the eerie and mysterious . In today's world, everything's become a tad too san…

I took my kids for their first-ever pumpkin carving this week, and it went about as well as you'd expect. My youngest was so excited that we handed him a knife that he practically committed pumpkin homicide, gleefully hacking away with pure enthusiasm. Meanwhile, my eldest got way too ambitious and tried to recreate an elaborate "Among Us" pumpkin he saw on YouTube. Unfortunately, the end result didn't quite match his expectations, so he ended up snapping a picture of my pumpkin and sending it…

I don't know how you can even compare Halloween to any other holiday. No other date on the calendar can even come close to October 31st. What does Christmas have? Holiday cheer and a tree? Give me a break! I would take pumpkin spice anything over eggnog any day. And what about Thanksgiving? Sure, it has tons of amazing food, and you get to save one turkey out of 46 million, but do you get to dress up as your favorite horror movie character and scare the daylights out of random kids? No! And you…

I took my kids for their first ever pumpkin carving this week and it went as well as you'd think - My youngest was so thrilled we gave him a knife he basically committed homicide on the poor pumpkin While the elder got way too ambitious and tried to recreate an “among us” Pumpkin he saw on some YouTube video. The end result wasn't exactly what he expected so he just took a picture of my pumpkin and sent it to all of his friends. They were not impressed. Hey, I never claimed to know how to carve…

There’s something truly masterful about The Shining. Is it the scariest horror film ever made? Perhaps not. Are there bloodier, more shocking movies ? Absolutely. But few, if any, can match Stanley Kubrick’s ability to create a haunting, oppressive atmosphere that sticks with you long after the credits roll. The Shining isn’t just about jump scares or graphic scenes; it’s about suspense, tension, and a slow-burn terror that makes you feel trapped in the maze of the Overlook Hotel alongside Jack…

I was never a good pumpkin carver. I can do the most basic Jack-o'-Lantern, but that's about it. Every year, I tell myself I'm going to make something special—an extra creepy, ultra-creative pumpkin design. But by the time I'm done hollowing out the first pumpkin, I'm already tired and end up settling for a very basic smiling face and calling it a day. The people in this listicle, however, take pumpkin carving to a whole new level. Their creations are nothing short of extraordinary, blending ar…

A Nightmare on Elm Street is the perfect horror movie. I don’t care how many of you try to tell me it’s The Shining , Halloween , or maybe The Texas Chainsaw Massacre —‘ Nightmare ’ will always be at the top of my personal list. What Wes Craven was able to do in that movie, which no other horror film could do back then (or since), is make the horror inevitable. Let me explain. Are you afraid Jason Voorhees will come after you? Just don’t go to Camp Crystal Lake. Worried about a Xenomorph ? Just…
