America’s Scariest Halloween Attractions!

Uh oh! We’ve entered what I call the “Halloween lull,” which is a thing that happens every early October. I’ll explain!

These days, the majority of Halloween enthusiasts start celebrating in early September, if not late August. Over the last few years, that’s become the norm.

Everyone’s super happy when October 1st hits, but after that, it’s “Halloween lull” time. For the next week or two, many people will seem comparatively mellow on the season, at least in part because they’ve already been celebrating it in a big way for a month already.

As someone who has dedicated himself to putting out Halloween content nonstop even during that lull, I’ve learned not to take it personally. Like I said, this happens every year. By the middle of the month, everyone rebounds, and the season wraps up with as much excitement as it started with.

My point? Don’t worry if you’re feeling a little fatigued. It’s perfectly natural. Just use this time to do some of the subtler spooky things that will seem too mundane when you’re in Halloween crazy mode. Draw some pictures! Read some books! Marathon a movie series!

On the other hand, if you want something that’ll throw you back in the mood in a hurry…

Tonight’s pick is another from vhslvy, who really killed it this season with her great suggestions. It’s America’s Scariest Halloween Attractions, a Travel Channel documentary/infomercial from 2006.

Who cares if some of the info is obsolete? It’s still fun to watch, and this is exactly the type of Halloween programming that will make you feel the season.
