Halloween Special
Tricks and mostly treats
It’s a warm and summery Halloween in Arizona. This morning I woke up, golfed, put Death Becomes Her and The Shining on in the background, and read a bit of my Halloween novel, Horrorstör, a scary story set in an IKEA knockoff. The book is written like an IKEA catalogue. It’s fun and creative and creepy. Ten out of ten, no notes.
While you’re indulging in your scary or not-so-scary Halloween delights this year, take a break to watch or listen to my new episode of Choose the Bear with Allie Colleen, a young country artist working her way through the scene that Wednesday’s guest, Marissa R. Moss, told us all about.
If you’re looking for things to watch tonight and you don’t like the scaries, I recommend Coco to celebrate Dia de los Muertos this weekend (and cry your eyes out), The Nightmare Before Christmas which is both a Christmas and a Halloween movie, or Hocus Pocus, because it’s the best.
If you like being scared, you can go for classics like The Shining and The Exorcist, scare yourself silly with Barbarian or Hereditary, or if you really want to never sleep again, read The Shining, the scariest book ever written and the only thing that has ever truly broken me.
Of course, you can’t go wrong with a Flanaverse marathon, turn on Netflix and watch The Haunting of Hill House or Bly Manor for the classic haunted house feel, or surrender yourself to the jewel toned masterpiece that is The Fall of the House of Usher.
As for me and my house, I’ll be indulging in my annual viewing of An American Werewolf in London and, if Horrorstör scares me too much, ending the night with a few Simpsons Halloween specials.
There truly is something for everyone.
Life is short, have fun and scare yourself!
