Spooky Movie List #1

So I thought I'd let you in on which spooky movies I watched this past weekend.

  • The Lost Boys - not really spooky, but it's vampires and I love the movie
  • Spellbinder - Kelly Preston as a witch
  • Book of Blood - Clive Barker's story turned into a movie (medium gore factor here)


Unfortunately this is all I got around to watching this weekend.  However, I will be trying to watch at least one spooky/scary/Halloween movie every night throughout the month of October.  I think I'll do a weekly list of what we've watched.

In the meantime I have a question/challenge for you my pretties...list your favorite Halloween movies.  Not just scary, but movies that actually have something to do with Halloween.  This is not as easy as it sounds considering the sheer quantity of scary movies out there.  Here's my list...

  • Halloween I and II (original of course)
  • Trick 'r Treat
  • Nightmare Before Christmas
  • The Crow (first one only, anyone who lives near Detroit knows about Devil's Night)
  • Scream (in the first one it is Halloween season)
  • Hocus Pocus
  • Halloween Town (any in this Disney series)

I know I'm forgetting some, but that's why I asked for your lists! ;-)

Can you tell that I am a big kid at heart and not a big fan of the gore?! I'll take a story about Witches any day! I would put Practical Magic on that list too, but it's not really Halloween themed! :o)

You are a big kid at heart! :-) Those are all good Halloween movies. I can't believe you listed Mad Monster Party! I've met very few people who have seen that one. I love Rankin and Bass movies. Too bad no one else left a list, I always like new ideas!

Ostara vs. Easter

Which do I celebrate?  I saw this type of question a lot around the Holidays last year.  Yule or Christmas, then of course there's the current holiday Ostara or Easter, and let's not leave out Samhain or Halloween.  You get the idea. My question is, why choose?  Very few of us grew up celebrating Yule, Ostara, Samhain or had any idea about the wheel of the year.  When we were kids Spring meant Easter eggs, chocolate bunnies, and lots of candy; Fall brought costumes, going out at night, and more candy; Winter was all about Christmas, Santa Claus, presents, and of course...candy.  There were family traditions that were followed year after year, passed down through the generations and some new ones thrown in occasionally.  These are the things that stuck with us as we became adults and started our own families.  So why should we turn our backs on all those good memories and traditions just because we've chosen a different path for ourselves? I sa...

New Year's Eve Tradition

I'm not one for setting resolutions.  I have nothing against them mind you, but if I really want to do something I do it no matter what time of year it is.  Also, I think by making this list of new resolutions and "wiping the slate clean", we're missing out on something.  You don't really want to erase every aspect of this year, so instead I offer you a new way to look at the New Year.  Some of you may already do this. Every New Year's Eve I burn candles with intent.  My bayberry candle gets burned on Christmas Eve as it's tradition in my family.  Instead, I burn a white 7-day candle to clear out any negativity (white for purity) and I get a few small tapers representing the things I'd like to invite into my home this year.  Usually it's blue for health, orange (or yellow) for happiness, and green for abundance.  Health, wealth, and happiness...a time honored toast for the New Year.  But use whatever you want or need.  You know the d...
