Witches Brew on a Broomstick
"Hubble, bubble, a dead man’s stubble, … A poisoned well became my task, A fog crowned night in stealth I crept And in the vacant mouth I poured A leprous flask of blasted sin." ...Decorations at a Moment’s Notice (or D.A.M.N.)
Some people in this world can make a gorgeous Halloween decoration for any occasion out of a bowl of grits and twist tie. Well, ok, not grits, but you get the point. Me? Nope, I’m not one of them.

There was always a particular order to Halloween activities in my family. The whole family went to Stonybrook pumpkin patch to pick pumpkins. When we were little, my Mom dressed my sister and me in “quaint” calico bonnets to block out the sun. Mind you, it was something like 1985, not 1885. However, we looked pretty cute sitting on the hay bales in the wagon riding out to the pumpkin fields. ...One-of-a-Kind Halloween Pumpkins - Exciting Themes to Carve Your Pumpkin
You’ve picked the biggest, roundest, most orange pumpkin in the patch. The table is covered with protective newspaper. Armed with an array of cutting implements, you stand over your victim, prepared to create . . .yet another snaggletoothed face. Isn’t there another way? Traditionally decorated pumpkins - usually consisting of two round or triangular eyes, a nose and a mouth with just a few teeth - are a fun and familiar pick. But there’s more than one ...Graveyard Surprise Cake

My first Halloween with my new husband was actually right before we got married, so technically he was not my husband. To the people of Keene Valley, New York, we were apparently homeless. That would be an impressive feat to pull off in Keene Valley—surviving as a homeless person. You see, Keene Valley is a tiny mountain town in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. It is about 80 miles ...Butterfly Man
Outside the Manitoba morning sky was an acrylic palette of blended hues; reds, oranges, yellows; all highlighted by golden light. The morning sun lit a world filled with buds and shoots hungering for the caress of the fiery orb rising higher. Steven sipped his coffee, his kitchen forgotten as he stared out of the picture window. It was best to start long days early, but to forget to stop and see the world was a sin ...How to Host a Spooktacular Halloween Movie-Themed Party

One of my favorite family Halloween traditions is eating spaghetti in a pumpkin on Halloween night. Every year, without fail, my dad would hollow out a pumpkin while my mom cooked the spaghetti, and we would feast at the table. It is a bit messy and time consuming if you are not having a party. However, if you are having a party, or having the neighbors and their kids over for dinner ...Halloween Costume Classics: Wizards Throughout the Ages
