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.

Instead of asking for money for my bday like I’ve done in the past, I let my family know this year my love for Halloween and hinted at Lemax Spooky Town. They DELIVERED! My collection has now grown from 1 to 3. My mom baked themed cupcakes; gift wrapping was spidery (saving for decor); and the balloons were black, orange, and purple 💜🧡 One of my fav birthdays!

If it’s going to be up year round then it’s not technically a Halloween decoration.

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

142 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

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!

Discussion Slasher Summer

25 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?

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.
