September is here!
I may begin celebrating in August, but September 1st marks the true start of the Halloween season. Yes yes yes!
I implore you not to waste it. The next two months will fly by at unbelievable speeds!
In fact, to make sure you don’t waste it, tonight’s survey is more of a challenge:
In the comments, make a list of the fun things you REALLY WANNA DO this Halloween season. Maybe putting it to paper (well, sort of) will help motivate you!
I’ll start!
1) Go on a trashy haunted hayride in Jersey.
These are usually connected to pumpkin patches, but the real action doesn’t start until sunset. As with its tomatoes, Jersey’s hayrides are incomparable. Shop around long enough, and you’ll find the most blessedly bootleg hayride, where you’ll travel down iffy dirt roads surrounded by dangerous people, unafraid of the lurking vampires but nonetheless fearful for your life.
2) Put up at least six more videos between now and the Countdown’s finale.
I know that’s technically a “work” to-do, but running the Countdown is how I celebrate the season. I always mean to do more videos than I end up with, because time flies when you’re trying to put up new content every single weekday. I’d actually like to get more than six in the can, but let’s start there.
3) See at least two horror movies in theaters before Halloween.
This should be easy enough, since I already have my ticket for Blair Witch. Not sure what’ll be #2, though I’ve heard enough about Don’t Breathe to know that I’m interested.
4) Go to one “special” Halloween event.
Not just a pumpkin patch and not just some random store, but an actual EVENT, be it a party at some sketchy bar, or a walkthrough at some temporarily macabre museum… whatever. Just something that must be planned for and booked in advance. I want me and the lady to have something halfway big to look forward to, sure, but I’m also just fishing for an excuse to book at a room at a two star hotel.
Your turn!
What are some of the things that NEED TO HAPPEN for your season-long celebration to be a success? Make some plans — and some vows — in the comments!
Halloween, I love you.
