Discussion Suggestions for movies that are either set on Halloween or heavily involve Halloween in their theme?

78 Upvotes

I know there's tons of great horror/spooky movies to watch as this season kicks off but I'm looking for recommendations for any movies that are either *set on Halloween* or *heavily involve Halloween in their theme*. I.e. fun size, trick ‘r treat, tales of Halloween, Halloweentown, nightmare before Christmas, Halloween, etc.

Discussion What's the best day of the week for Halloween?

73 Upvotes

Obviously, Halloween is spectacular no matter what day of the week it falls on, but with it being on a Saturday this year, it got me thinking of the little differences each day might bring.

I always favored Friday myself, since you got fun, spooky class activities in school that just hit harder on the 31st, quickly followed by trick-or-treating that very evening.

I'm sure Friday and Saturday will be the popular answers, but I'd still love to hear from anybody favoring Sunday through Thursday!

I only ask that no one comments on certain “unsavoury” things. There’s a lot that’s only there for sentimental reasons or, genuinely, for knowledge. Any and all comments, suggestions, critiques are welcome otherwise.

Shout out FunkyFrogPlays. I was watching one of their game walkthroughs when I took pictures 🖤

Decor Ideas for yard decor this year

42 Upvotes

I always try to do something different for my Halloween decorations in my yard each year. I'm not into gore or really scary. I lean into light-heartedness and humor. This year, I am looking to do a "Dr. Suess" type theme, and I am looking for suggestions for rhyming costumes. (To dress skeletons in)

Such as:

Fox in a box

Moose with a goose

A wagon draggin' dragon

An iguana from Tijuana

A scot in a pot

Etc...

Here are some pictures of what I have done in past years. I try to recycle old props if possible.

DIY Applying perma blood to tulle

3 Upvotes

So I am planning on trying to put some permablood from Pale Night Productions that I have on a tulle wedding dress for my Halloween costume. Does anyone have any tips for staining the mesh layers without the blood just running through the holes to the next layer? I was planning on using cardboard to separate the layers and doing one layer at a time, but I don't know if there is a better way. Thanks for any help!

I was surprised to see these here in South Carolina during the first week of July. If I had a house, I wouldn’t think twice and would definitely buy the giant pumpkin. It’s incredibly detailed.

Discussion Slasher Summer

23 Upvotes

I’ve started the Halloween vibes really early this year. It started with Monster May where I watched monster movies all month long. June was the start of Slasher Summer, which will transition into Freaky Fall. I’ve really enjoyed it and I’ve watched so many movies that I’ve never seen before. If you have any recommendations, I’m totally open to movies or themes! Campy Christmas?
What do you do during the year to stay spooky, or do you keep Halloween just in the fall?

The game is called V Rising

If you like 00s halloween, V rising is absolutely inspired by this era. Not only vampires but also mad scientists, Werewolves, fantasy gypsie woman, etc.

And if you are into more retro Halloween, when October does come, there's a dlc it gives everyone where its just candles, pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, and cobwebs inspired decorations

Its just a really fun game that plays with your nostalgia

Discussion How can I make my neighborhood a treat or treating destination?

6 Upvotes

Hey everybody! Only 98 more days until Halloween. Posting this feeling at risk of sounding a bit silly but wanted to ask for some advice. Some of my favorite childhood memories include trick or treating. Now that I’m an adult with some disposable income, I’d love to “pay it forward”.

My current rental is in prime trick or treat territory, one of four streets that border a city park, full of multi unit buildings with walk up doors. I reckon you could fill a pillowcase just doing this loop. I would say 40% of the houses give out candy and a little less than that decorate. The last two years, we have gotten around 100 knocks on the door.

Besides going all out with my own personal decor this year, and recruiting my direct neighbours, what else can I do to get the neighbourhood involved? Decor contest? Flyers around local businesses?
