Memories shape our lives and we cling to them as a witch clings to her flying broom (or vacuum). Some memories are comforting, others haunting. Do you remember the first time you heard: One-Eyed, One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater? How about Monster Mash? Thriller? Dead Man’s Party…
Sympathy for the Devil, Time Warp, (Don’t Fear) The Reaper, Devil Went Down To Georgia…

For some, Halloween is another kind of Christmas. It’s been 25 years since I stood in line on opening day to see Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas https://yadadarcyyada.com/2013/10/19/the-nightmare-before-christmas/ and sometimes it feels like yesterday.
-
Hocus Pocus came out the same year and it’s cheesiness put a spell on me for all time.

Halloween attacked theaters (1978, 40 years ago and still today) and thanks to lax age rules back then, I probably saw it on the big screen. I heard that music and I was transfixed, they had me. Then the cinematography sucked me into the vortex of Michael Myers; I was right there, running scared with Laurie Strode/Jamie Leigh Curtis (Final Girls rule!). https://yadadarcyyada.com/2014/03/20/25-ways-to-stay-alive-in-a-horror-movie/

Night of the Living Dead was 50 years ago and sadly, the ending stands up the most in these troubled times, proving the point, the more things change the more they stay the same. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2016/10/14/the-glorious-chaos/

The Rocky Horror Picture Show – 43 years and counting of fish nets, great tunes and, er, toast? https://yadadarcyyada.com/2013/10/25/the-rocky-horror-picture-show/
-
Netflix’s vision of The Haunting of Hill House may thrill and chill you. Starring Michiel Huisman of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society -thanks Netflix for keeping the original book titles, for both and possibly for redoing Sabrina, I think I’m missing the teenage witch angst campiness, but adding Michelle Gomez aka Missy from Doctor Who , genius!), Game of Thrones, Orphan Black, Nashville; also, Timothy Hutton; Carla Gugino; Henry Thomas (E.T. Phone Home!)
and more, it’s not too scary, er, depending on your definition of scary. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2014/10/19/religion-politics-and-the-great-pumpkin/

A strange magic thralls us with varying degrees of horror, from Mary Shelley to Stephen King (Castle Rock hooked me – mesmerizing and creepy, but in the best way, but a redo of Pet Sematary – Sometimes dead is better), to Wes Craven, George A. Romero (https://yadadarcyyada.com/2013/08/21/zombies-on-sesame-street/), Amy Holden Jones,
Shirley Jackson, Rob Zombie, Anne Rice, Robert Kirkman, Greg Nicotero, Lisa Tuttle, Eli Roth, Kubrick, 
Jason Blum, Shaun Cassidy (https://yadadarcyyada.com/2013/10/01/american-gothic/), John Carpenter, Charlaine Harris, Terry Pratchett, R. L. Stine, 
Susan Hill, Marti Noxon, Sam Raimi (sure, all the Raimis), Neil Gaiman, Rick Baker, Guillermo Del Toro, Ayn Rand (if you don’t find Objectivism horrifying… https://yadadarcyyada.com/2013/08/29/the-pursuit-of-happiness-cult/), 
Agatha Christie https://yadadarcyyada.com/2016/05/25/crapathy/, Joe Hill, Clive Barker, Hitchcock (I still get a moment of unease when I step in a shower and not just because I know I’m about to murder some songs), Poe, 
Cronenberg, all the Hammer films, Scooby Doo(?) https://yadadarcyyada.com/2013/10/31/the-mysterious-world-of-scooby-doo/ – and more Supernatural https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/10/26/my-big-fat-supernatural-life/ um, joys. Do you have a favourite writer, director, and/or star of horror books, movies and/or TV shows?

Are You In The House Alone reading this or out with strangers or stranger things? People are strange and these days when I try to scream it only comes out as a yawn (thank you, Barenaked Ladies, that sum of all fears it up). https://yadadarcyyada.com/2016/10/28/enter-at-your-own-risk/

No Psycho Killers, please, but practical magic, go for it (https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/10/17/the-curse-of-time/). Any questions? I’ll try to answer, unlike David S. Pumpkins (Tom Hanks, SNL).

Enjoy each day https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/08/22/umbrella/ and each holiday, but don’t jump ahead, stay here, with pumpkins, pumpkin spice, candy and costumes – Halloween…

Then Black Friday and Cyber Monday https://yadadarcyyada.com/2014/12/01/12-hours-of-cybermonday/ (yes, apparently shopping counts as ‘holiday’ now, go figure), then Christmas https://yadadarcyyada.com/2016/12/08/dear-santa-i-can-explain/

Now I’m getting sleepy and hollow (needs more chocolate and eye of newt). This Haunted Halloween Blog Party has no rules, except, like with blogging itself, have a bloody good time! https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/04/21/dancing-in-the-dark/

No mandatory comments, likes, reblogs, shares (although they’re appreciated), no time limits. Do what you wanna do, i.e https://yadadarcyyada.com/2015/10/16/you-cant-handle-the-blogging-truth/

Something wicked this way comes and horror gives us a way to examine the scary, horrifying, most frightening, the darkest parts of our world in a safe space, so you might say we horror fans are the original snowflakes…let’s hope we don’t melt.
You never let us down, Donna. Walks down Memory Lane are walks down a spooky back alley, just in time for Halloween.
Definitely a spooky back alley of memory lane lol 😉
Hope you can drop by later and leave some links. 🙂
Okay, here’s an old “Halloween-related” post: https://wordsfromanneli.com/2016/10/30/who-needs-halloween-horror/
That was truly terrifying and I may have wanted to wait until the morning to read it lol 😉 Thanks for dropping this by, come back again and again (and it doesn’t have to be Halloweenie stuff, but this was cool). 🙂
Scary enough for me, and it was October.
Creep crawlies. 😉
What an amazing montage of sentiments and glimpses! This is a Halloween masterpiece. 🙂
Thank you kindly, Gwen, easy when it’s a subject you love. 😉
Hope this weekend treats you kindly and you can stop back and share some links to posts and/or books, etc. 🙂
’tis a
scream 🙂
Within a dream…hope you can come back and leave a link or two or ten. 😉
An awe-inspiring post! Such a treat five days before trick-or-treating. 🙂
Thank you kindly, hope you can drop by later and leave some links to your posts!!! 🙂
Reblogged this on Smorgasbord Blog Magazine and commented:

All ready and hope you have a lovely time out this evening, dear friend. 🙂
Thanks again for the dreadfully kind words and reblog. xoxoxo
This is terrific! So many great ways to celebrate this month – here is a #31daysofhorror double bill I just shared – “Night Of The Living Dead” and “Black Christmas!” – https://johnrieber.com/2018/10/26/31daysofhalloween-double-bill-night-of-the-living-dead-black-christmas/
These are both awesome although I always forget about “Black Christmas”, which is so wrong. Both are classics.
Did you ever see a movie called, “The Dead Don’t Die”? It’s funny how some movies stick in your head, I think I watched it when I wasn’t supposed to.
Loved this post, thanks for sharing it at my Haunted Halloween Blog Party https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/10/26/haunted-halloween-blog-party/ Please feel free to drop by again and again and leave more dreadfully cool blog links.
Thanks, off to share this post and hope this weekend treats you well, with no zombies or serial killers, at all. 😉
My favorite Halloween movie is Beetlejuice! I guess I like giggles with my frights!
And the cast is amazing! Tim Burton is a master. I agree, Jan, it’s a classic! https://yadadarcyyada.com/2013/10/25/beetlejuice/
Hope you can drop by later and leave some links to your posts! 🙂
Have an awesome weekend! 🙂
Donna, you hallowed gem! You reminded me of every spook-tacular Halloween favorite. I love this post.
I didn’t know they remade Sabrina. I will look for it. I need more silliness in my life.
Oh yes, I was so delighted and excited, I almost forgot your invitation for a link. Here’s a horror story: Now that I made a party bus in stead of a book launch, I seem to have started a trend. Really, imitation is the highest form of flattery, but they could have at least waited a decent mourning period before claiming my idea… Anyhow, everyone is welcome to join my party for “Atonement in Bloom” https://teagansbooks.com/2018/10/20/book-launch-party-bus-atonement-book-fair/
Mega I wish every day could be Halloween hugs!
Now it’s a party!!! 🎃🎃🎃 Thanks for dropping by, dearest Teagan and leaving a link and such an amazing one too!!! Drop by with more, more, more! Promote your posts, books, social media, anything and everything, be a shameless self-promoting bloghussy (like me!). lol 🙂
Of course they’re copying you, you’re the cat’s pajamas, but they could have waited a tad or at least disguised it a little better. You’re an influencer (never sure that’s a good thing if people are just going to steal your ideas).
Yes, just started watching the latest “Sabrina” on Netflix, not as campy as the TV series from way back when but interesting so far. 🙂
Hope you have a wonder-filled weekend, dear friend and drop by again and again!
Mega should I have put out more peeled grapes and spaghetti? hugs xoxoxxoxoxo
An awesome Halloween tribute. Brings to my mind the shadows of Bram Stoker, Bela Lugosi, Chris Lee, Peter Cushing, Vincent Price, Ingrid Pitt, Barbara Steele, Anita Ekberg, Mario Bava, ……
That’s awesome, thanks for letting me know some of your favs and please feel free to drop by and leave links to posts, social media, etc. 🙂
Excellent, Donna.
Thank you, John, I hope you can drop by later and leave some links to your blog posts, books, social media, etc. 🙂
Thank you, Donna.
🙂
Loved it – as always.
Thank you kindly, Mary, please feel free to drop by later and leave some links to blog posts, books, etc. 🙂
A terrific mishmash of Halloween stuff! I did not know that Something Wicked…was also a movie. I loved that book. And now I have time to see the movie before Halloween!
Yes and hope you enjoy it. Drop by later and leave some links to your posts. 🙂
I do like the H.P. Lovecraft “universe”, and the John Carpenter’s film homage “In the Mouth of Madness”. Do you read “Sutter Cane”?
Lovecraft and I have a love/hate thing, I go through times when I love then hate…Same goes for Sutter Cane, makes sense, right? Carpenter is a genius.
You didn’t leave some links to your posts, hope you can pop back and leave some, lots, the more the ‘scarier’!!! 😉
Oh Darling girl, you’ve got me reading this from beneath the bed . With me there there’s no room for monster. I didn’t want to be scared by your reminiscences but you surprised me with it and it’s not even Halloween yet.. I’m holding on to sanity since you mentioned Terry Pratchett and it’s a little better too since you mentioned Neil Gaiman. The Munsters and the Adams Family played it for laughs and I’m OK with that but really whet’s making me hold it all together (apart from you) is the thought of Black Friday and the Christmas presents I can get. I might even give some of them out this year.
Sending Gargantuan Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I didn’t mean to scare you, dear David, well, maybe a little. Boo! 👻
There are so many levels to horror although a lot of them seem to be in the political circus these days – shudder!!!
I’m glad you’re holding it together and glad I could help in any way, dear friend. I’m mostly done my Christmas shopping (don’t throw things at me!), but I will be checking out the deals cause you never know 🛍️🛍️🛍️
Hope life has been treating you well, if not, let me know so I can give it a stern talking to. 😉
Thank you for dropping by, but you didn’t leave any links – links to post (any, even older or other folks’ posts), links to books (I know you have those, they’re wonderful), social media, etc. Come back and share your wonder!!!
Wishing you and yours a Spooktacular Halloween, all the best, every single day 🎃🎃🎃
Massive keep that sanity in a tight grip it’s a precious commodity these days hugs xoxoxoxoxoxo 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
So many great movies, TV shows and songs that lie on the dark side. It’s a scary time of year, made even worse for me because my birthday is on Halloween and it scares me when my age ticks up one more number. Tick tock, I don’t want to hear that clock on Halloween.. But I do want to watch some of those movies or Adams Family reruns! Maybe listen to some Danny Elfman music (Dead Man’s Party or Nightmare Before Christmas, either will do.) More than that, I think I will crash this blog party. I have posted quite a few horror/scary stories on my blog, but I am going to be self-centered and post a link introducing the villain (a spirit/ghost/whatever) from my book, The Halley Branch. I hope you enjoy! https://trentsworldblog.wordpress.com/2018/06/22/benjamin-the-halley-branch/
Cool birthday!!! And amazing link, shared and hope you bring more, more, more! Your book sounds great, hope I get to read it soon. Crash the party over and over, my blogdoor is always open, Trent. 🙂 And Happy Birthday in advance! 🙂
Thanks! I may stop by again. Well, I will to see what links others have left at your place.
Anytime. 🙂
They tell me it is not so but every Halloween the memories come back that my ancestors were part of the Addams Family.
I always thought I was Wednesday Addams, my parents told me no, but I don’t know, we know what we know, right? 😉 Maybe not.
I hope you can pop back later and leave some links to your around the world in an armchair blog posts, those links are cool. 🙂
I was a “Wednesday’s child”… but I’m older than her, so not *her* child… unless the TARDIS was involved. Oh… I’m giving myself a timey-wimey headache. 😉 I’m not full of woe though, after your post.
lol Whether or not this gets timey wimey, I’m glad you’re not full of woe. I always assumed that’s why Charles Addams called her Wednesday, she was full of woe, I’m guessing you’re more like a Friday’s child, dear friend. 😉
https://yamarella.blog/2019/01/31/taking-a-look-at-vermont/
Thank you kindly and I hope this week is treating you well. 🙂
I’m afraid I’d be like Charlie Brown 🎃 and become Zombie food. 💀 😱 I’m too scared of scary things that go bump in the night. So, you want me to share a link, huh? It isn’t scary, but I’m a cowboy kind of girl so here you go… 🤠 https://maryjdresselbooks.com/2017/07/22/amwriting-for-fun-cowboy-heroes/ I bet you aren’t surprised. <3 Thanks for the invitation.
I like to think I’d adapt and survive, but who am I kidding? I also think a lot would depend on the speed of the zombies…and the smell. 😉 🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️
Any link would be wonderful from you, Mary and I’m particularly fond of cowboys myself,🤠 so thank you for rustling up this link for us to mosey on over to (ok, I’ll stop now lol). 🐴 I’m off to share and please feel free to pop back as many times as you like to share as many links as you like, no need for them to be scary, just the more the scarier! 😉
Yeehaa. I’m good at adapting, Donna. Not that I always like it, but when we’re talking about surving zombies, I’m adapting! Glad you are too.
I wonder if the video game generation can translate their skills into real world apocalypse skills? 😉
OMG…LOVEEEEEEE IT. Where to start? At the end, the OBEY was from an old movie that I loved. The dogs and cats living together was so funny…and I remember laughing when I first saw it…still funny. Love Supernatural, the Adams Family and, of course, Peanuts. This was spooktacular and YaY!!!!! Applause and I am definitely going to reblog it. Thank you. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and so glad you enjoyed it, it was fun to create, as I’m sure you can tell. Make sure to drop back and leave some links to posts, no time limit, this party looks like it may be a long, dark party of souls. 😉
Thank you kindly for the spooktacular reblog and the dreadfully kind words. Hope you can pop by and leave some links!!! Wishing you a wonder-filled weekend. 🙂
Woot! It’s party time! Scary Movies? There’s a flick about a slimy orange cesspool that springs to life and feeds on rage but I don’t know that it has a name yet. Here’s a link: https://robertmgoldstein.com/2018/10/11/coming-out-day-at-the-stardust/
That’s too scary!!! 😉
Thanks for dropping a link to your awesome blog, Rob, keep ’em coming, this goes until Halloween and maybe beyond. 😉
Reblogged this on Art by Rob Goldstein and commented:

some nature: https://robertmgoldstein.com/2018/09/10/autumn-chill/
This is stunning and makes me want to throw on a sweater, get some piping hot tea and curl up with a good book and/or movie. Thanks you for the images, dear Rob, shared and loved. xoxoxox
Thanks for dropping by, keep ’em coming, maybe we can overthrow the ugly with beauty. Leave as many links as you’d like, to posts (yours or others), social media, etc. 🙂
Got it. This party is outta bounds! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYq4OZYqF1E
I love the B-52s – my Aunt gave me a promo 45 of ‘Rock Lobster’ just before it came out, I was hooked. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane, now get back here with more links lol 😉
The B-52’s never lost their dweeby coolitude.
They’re still grooving to their own beat…and we love it. 😉
So fabulous! I’ll definitely be joining the monster mash with s bit of horrific fun. 😛
Bring on those posts, fill up these comment boxes with links, links, and more links!!! 😉

Oh awesome, I think I’m also following you on Twitter and I’ll check you out on Facebook. Thanks. 🙂

Great post! I’d forgotten a lot of the movies you mention. I used to love The Great Pumpkin when I was a kid. 🙂
I still watch it every year with my son, yeah, that’s it, I watch The Great Pumpkin for my son lol 😉
Hope you can pop by later and leave some links to your posts. 🙂
Very complete list of scary movies and programs and songs. I would have left some scary links but didn’t see a spot? Happy Halloween!
It’s a blog party, Marilyn, not a linky party, do you just do what you did, but leave a link here in the comment box…leave as many links as you like (my taste buds will thank you, not sure about my waist) – they don’t have to be Halloween-related, can also be to social media, books, etc. Have fun! 😉
https://dearkitty1.wordpress.com/2018/10/27/animals-with-night-vision-video/
I wish I had their night vision because as an insomniac I’m up a lot at night…and look how cute they are. 😉 🦇
https://dearkitty1.wordpress.com/2006/10/17/why-some-people-wrongly-hate-nocturnal-animals/
I love them, especially bats, they’re so cute and they eat bugs so they’re ok in my books. 😉 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

https://dearkitty1.wordpress.com/2015/10/30/animals-orange-and-black-halloween-colours/

I would be too busy running or crying or screaming to look it in the eye lol 🐺
When I was a child, Halloween wasn’t celebrated at all in the UK. I didn’t see anyone trick or treating until I was past 40 years old. As a result, I just don’t get it. But I am in a minority, I know.
Best wishes, Pete. 🙂
I think it’s cool that people like and don’t like different things, but that’s no excuse for not sharing some of your post links, social media links, etc. here, is it? lol Kidding, but please Pete, feel free to drop by and share the #bloglove and ignore the Halloween-ness of it all. 😉
I was just keeping my head down for Halloween. 🙂 But I will link to this one.
A true story, and suitably spooky.
https://beetleypete.wordpress.com/2014/11/01/a-very-personal-ghost-story/
Best wishes, Pete.
Very suitably spooky, thanks for sharing it with us today. 🙂
Happy Halloween and thank you.
The leaves are changing. The ghosts, ghouls, monsters and witches are coming out.
Fear the night, never walk alone.
October nights rebirth the ghost seeking salvation or revenge.
He, who knocked on the house with no lights.
May, rebirth the hungry witch.
Check the candy, check your friends.
Halloween night.
Ever-changing and the night where the dead can dance and sing.
Coyote
That’s awesome, John!!! Thanks for sharing.
Hope you can pop back round and share some links (any posts, yours or others), social media links, books, etc. 🎃👻😱
Thank you for this spooktacular reblog! This is dreadfully cool of you, I really appreciate it. Hope you can pop by and leave some links to your posts or others’ posts, etc. Wishing you a wonder-filled weekend.

Thanks for the invitation. I’m truly ghoulified.
Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,
Voices whisper in the trees, “Tonight is Halloween!”
– Dexter Kozen
Cool and come on back with some links…as many as you like, really. 🙂 👻👻👻
I’m not sure if my posts are worthy of sharing here, but in the spirit of the the occasion I will share one. It’s not Halloween related although it is a flight of fantasy. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
https://pfeifferfilmsandmegmovies.wordpress.com/2018/09/06/a-pictorial-interlude-michelle-joins-meg-pfor-a-pfotographic-pfantasy/
So worthy and this is an awesome post, flights of fantasy, that rules – thanks for sharing it. Keep ’em coming, they don’t have to be Halloween-related. 🙂
Hi Donna, Happy Halloween to you. I hope you have a fun time! I’ve been getting involved with a bunch of ghostly writers who are producing an anthology for Halloween. Find out more about that here… https://mjmallon.com/2018/10/27/ghostly-writes-anthology-2018/
Everyone has been fantastic, thank you so much for dropping by (come back as often as you like with blog posts, book links, social media links, etc. – no need for it to be Halloween-related). 🎃🎃🎃
This post is awesome and I’ve shared it!!!
Hope you have a spooktacular weekend. 👻👻👻
Thank you Donna. Glad you liked my link. No doubt your party is still rocking on! Lol
I’m falling behind, real life calls, but I’ll get there…so far, so ghouled. 😉
Know the feeling only too well. Time is a monster and he is stealing my life! The worst ghoul of all!
One might say it’s ‘The Curse of Time’https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/10/17/the-curse-of-time/ Sounds familiar, like I’ve read that somewhere lol 😉

Awesome! I love your blog–there’s so much to engage in! Here’s a link to my latest, with it’s own Hallowe’en-y theme: https://educationalmentorship.com/2018/10/28/my-week-214-let-your-backbone-slide/
I also wanted to leave a link to my novel, but wasn’t sure that would be OK:-)

Yo! My latest musing: https://robertmgoldstein.com/2018/10/28/sundays-meditation-what-is-the-right-to-vote/
I may be a bit of a nerd, but I love to vote, I feel like I’m not just doing my duty, but it’s a privilege – seriously, we just had a municipal election and only 37% of the people eligible to vote did so. Come on, how can you be part of a society and not care what happens or worse, complain about it and don’t vote? This is a wonderful post, I’ve shared all over the place and thanks for bringing it to my blog party!!! Bring more, bring more!!! 😉 Oh and everyone, get out there and vote – it’s fun!
That’s convenient, I just posted in an depth study on witches here. https://o4fsbryntin.wordpress.com/2018/10/27/study-on-saturday-witches/
Cool post and informative, ‘which’ is why I’m so dreadfully pleased you shared it.
I’ve shared on Twitter and am now following your blog and you, on Twitter, glad you found me in this giant virtual haystack.
Please feel free to drop by and leave more links, to posts, social media, books, etc. 🙂
Hope this week is magical. 🙂 🧙♀️
Thanks D 🙂
I arrived via seeing a tweet from Hugh Roberts, I’ll be back to link up to a few posts later but I have a prior engagement with a wife and daughter and something called ‘take them shopping’ to do for now.
Halloween is indeed living up to scary expectations so far.
Hugh Roberts is a talented blogger and author and a great supporter of other bloggers. 🙂
Enjoy the time with family, not matter what you’re doing, even if it’s something as horrifying as, gasp, shopping. 😉
Thanks for the invite to your Halloween party, Donna.
Here’s a little story I wrote a couple of years ago. Readers may change the way they apply their lipstick after reading but, in any case, Happy Halloween to you all. 🎃
https://hughsviewsandnews.com/2017/09/07/lipstick/
The horror of vanity! Thanks for leaving this dreadfully wonderful link and thanks for giving us the gift of the book this short story crawled out from – here’s my review https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/04/06/the-wonder-of-you/
Leave as many links to posts, books, social media, etc. as you wish, they don’t have to be Halloween-related (spooktacular if they are though).👻👻👻
Happy Halloween and hope this week treats you kindly, thank you for popping by. 🎃🎃🎃
Thank you, and thank you for that wonderful review of Glimpses. It’s a spooktacular review 👻
Very welcome, I should be thanking you, the book was horrifyingly delightful. 😉
These books sound cool (as in hot cool). And thank you kindly for including my blog party and Sally’s upcoming blog party https://smorgasbordinvitation.wordpress.com/2018/10/22/smorgasbord-invites-you-to-a-halloween-fancy-dress-party-on-wednesday-31st-october/ in your delightful post https://mjmallon.com/2018/10/29/guest-author-k-m-mcfarland-ghostly-writes-anthology-2018/

Just found your comment in spam…thanks for the invitaton!
A few spooky pieces of flash for you 🙂 https://scvincent.com/flash-fiction/
I got kicked into spam (thanks WordPress), yes, they do that all the time, I find the weirdest stuff in there, once I found a 3 year old comment (spooky). lol 😉
Spooktacular post Sue, thanks for dropping by, keep ’em coming, we’ve got days to go until Halloween. 🙂
It’s true… some of the oddest stuff ends up there…
Impossible to know why. 😉
But some of the spam is amusing 😉
It sure can be…some is just creepy. 🙂

THIS KIND OF HALLOWEEN—I CAN (SORT OF) HANDLE!
Thank you for the reblog, Jonathan, hope this week is being good to you and you have a fun Halloween – all the best today and every single day. Feel free to drop by and leave some links. 🙂
Hi dear Donna! What a fantastic bash! I love Halloween! Thank you so much for hosting and allowing us to share some of our bits and bites from our blogs! Here’s a link to a post I wrote a couple of years ago. While it isn’t Halloween related, it was scary nonetheless: a bad date many, MANY moons ago called, “Life’s Lessons & Why I Hate Chicken Balls” (Chinese food for those who are wondering!) : https://wp.me/p4doQv-16U Thank you, my dear! Cher xo
This was scary and maybe because it’s all to familiar too many. Great life lessons though and in hindsight, funny. Thank you dear Cher, for the post and being so you. Hope you had a fantastic birthday, cheers, my dear friend, to many more years!!! Hope this week treats (with no tricks) you kindly and Happy Halloween! 🎃🎃🎃
Ah, bless! Thank you, Donna! Yes, it wasn’t my most stellar moment, but I sure did learn a lesson (or two? perhaps three?) 🙂 And thank you so much for the birthday cheers and a very Happy Halloween to you my dear!! Cher xo
I think we learn more from the bad stuff than the good, it’s only natural. And look what he missed out on, you! What a maroon! 😉
It really is, isn’t it, Donna? Bless you my dear! Thank you for your thoughtful and kind words! LOL Well I have to tell you something funny. Years after the chicken ball challenge (*biggest grin I can muster*) I was at a concert. I kid you not as the day is long; I felt as if someone was staring at me. I turned around and sure enough, about 10 rows up there he was! I thought to myself, you have got to be kidding me! Well! Didn’t he wait for me after the concert and hand me his business card! Hahahahaha I was with some friends of mine who asked me who that was. As I headed towards the garbage can to deposit the card, I simply said, “No one we care to know!” 😉 Cher xo
lol That’s cool, Cher and you were wise to move on to better and beyond. 🙂 xoxox Big hugs and no chicken balls 🐔
LOL Indeed and thank you, my dear! Oh yes, that is for sure!! 😉 xoxo
🙂
An amazing Montage of sentiments💕👍👍
Thank you kindly, please feel free to drop back round and leave some links. 🙂
Thanks for your kindness dear Donna🙋🙋🙏💐

If you liked the Halloween soundtrack you’ll be pleased to hear that Carpenter returned to do the music for the latest film.
It was and still is one of the more haunting themes…hope you can pop back and leave some blog posts links, social media links, etc. 🙂 Happy Halloween #TheMoreTheScarier

I love this list and because Halloween for me is all year long, I’ll do my best to catch up on movies and shows on here I haven’t seen yet! I’m currently watching The Haunting of Hill House and it has completely taken over my sleep. Thanks for the recommendations and have a (belated happy Halloween)
Hill House hooked me and I just kept watching every chance I could until suddenly it was over…or was it?!?🏚️😱👻
Thanks for dropping by and best of luck with the house…please feel free to drop back and leave links, Halloween may be over, but for me, it’s a state of mind, my blogdoor is always open. :)🚪
Just finished watching it last night. I’m hoping for a season 2, but it closed up pretty tightly, so i don’t imagine they’ll create a second season… Bummer. For me too!! I love Halloween 😁 any blogathons still open? I’d love to join in. Thank you for all your likes. Much appreciated.
WE can hope.
This is still open, my blog never closes so leave links, to blog posts, to books, to social media, to other people’s posts, whatever you feel like. Go for it!!! 🙂
Ok, will do! Thank you 🍥

Hi there. I know Canadians don’t celebrate Thanksgiving but I wanted to stop in and say how grateful I am to have you in my ‘WordPress’ World. Here is a link to my most recent post: https://robertmgoldstein.com/2018/11/22/i-will-tell-you-these-secrets/
Our Thanksgiving is early in October and not nearly as ‘big’ as America’s celebrations, but I agree, I am also so grateful you’re in my ‘WordPress’ World, dear Rob. Hope you’re having a peaceful and Happy Thanksgiving. All the best today and every single day. Thank you for leaving this link, it’s wonderful.
Hope the weekend treats you kindly. 🙂 Big bloggy hugs xoxoxo
Okay, okay. I’m good and scared and it’s long past Halloween!
lol Halloween is a more of a state of mind. 😉 Boo!
