October 1= time for Halloween

Every year I have to hold myself back for the Halloween stuff. I didn't truly make it this year, I like to wait until at least Oct 1 before I drag it all out, this year we have already been munching on candy corn and pumpkins for about a week and a half, I already have some little ghosties strung up across a bookshelf and I have bat mobile hanging up that I made by lantern light during the outage, also there is an amigurumi owl on the mantle that I just finished making.

And last night Ev and I sat down for our first screening of Hocus Pocus, I was surprised that she liked it, I thought it would maybe be too "freaky out" but she got into it. Ev was telling Les some about it today though and called Billy Butcherson a vampire but, umm, he's a zombie. We have some sorting out of the undead to do I see, she is my daughter after all and we just don't confuse our zombies with our vampires around here, that's a major no no.

In the spirit of the holiday to come here is a list of some of my favorite Halloween movies and tv. These are in no particular order.

Poltergeist
Hocus Pocus
The Lost Boys
Silver Bullet
Any Halloween episode Of Buffy
The "Hush" episode of Buffy

The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Corpse Bride
Bram Stoker's Dracula
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken
Monster House
Monster Squad
The Goonies

Something Wicked This Way Comes

Yeah, those should get me started.
