The Dark and Strange History of Jack O' Lanterns
Every year on Halloween, we decorate the outside of our homes with carved-out pumpkins. Seeing these sinister yet silly faces can make one think of Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas. What most of us don't know is why we have these orange heads. How did such a strange tradition start? The origins of jack o' lanterns are mixed. Celtic legends range from beheadings (yes, you heard me right) to simple superstitions. Let's go back in time!

The Best Solo and Small Halloween Party Ideas for 2021
With Halloween just around the corner, I'm sure we're all coming up with fantastic things to do to celebrate. With many people being fully vaccinated, there's a chance that most people will celebrate in-person. On the other hand, some people aren't fully vaccinated or are unvaccinated and can't celebrate in-person for whatever reason. Or some people are just too anxious and not ready to celebrate in-person just yet. Everyone will be celebrating Halloween differently this year. Some parents are eager to take their children trick-or-treating and some aren't for whatever the case may be.

Top 5 Halloween Movies
Halloween is just around the corner and with it comes more of a desire to be scared. It is often associated with elaborate costumes, drinking alcohol, making bad decisions and haunted houses. All things that Hollywood has certainly capitalized on. Not only is Halloween about being scared, but also about having fun with friends and having a good laugh. Thus, with that all being said, the idea of writing a top five Halloween films spawned and thanks to those over at the Vocal Social Society for really giving me the idea. The films below are measured on their merit in terms of scares as well as their fun factor as most Halloween movies are shared with those we care most about.

A Beautiful Day for a Cruise
Chapter One: WTF? Walter turned his pickup onto Avers avenue, the street he and his wife had bought a house on some 32 years ago. They had settled in Chicago’s Albany Park neighborhood. Sadly, when their eldest son Jack turned nine Isabel decided being a mother was too much of a burden. In reality drinking Pinot Noir in the afternoon was the burden, Isabel drained $7,000 from the family checking account and went west some twenty years ago.

A Halloween Film Evening
A Halloween Film Evening has been proposed by my good friend Les. As usual I am going to stray from the norm. The selected films need to frighten you and maybe disturb you , but do they have to shock you or disgust you , I think not . Hitchcock said “There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.” and sometimes that is the sign of a great film, if it can scare you without resorting to special effects.

Halloween at Lake Lanier
Rumor has it there is a forgotten city at the bottom of that Lake. No one can seem to confirm or deny it, but no one can refute the deaths that keep happening either. Every week a soul is sacrificed -- giving that Lake an invisible supply of insatiable deaths. This year alone, 60 people have died and two more were added five days ago. There are two and a half more months left in this year and plenty more bodies to be added.

The Dead in the Pool
I was housesitting for my boss. She was a best-selling author of horror stories. She wrote of ghosts, primarily, and their phantasmal interactions with the living. I had been looking forward to this housesitting job for weeks, not just for what she said she’d pay me, but I wanted to see inside her house. Her home was built against a hillside in a modern, simple style. It’s mostly concrete and glass, quite plain, really, but it has a large atrium in the middle of it and a swimming pool was installed there.

October has here, which means that the most contentious holiday of the year - Halloween - is quickly coming.

That's correct, we're discussing children.
