In honor of Tim Burton's new 'Wednesday Addams' series on Netflix.

Halloween is finally upon us , and you know what that means! It's time to speak to the manager about why it's on a Monday this year. Sure, having Halloween on a Monday, in some ways, makes the weekend longer, but you still have to go to work, don't you? A Thursday, I could accept. But a Monday? It's a disgrace. With the Halloweekend now gone, it's time to accept that the day itself will not be as iconic as what transpired this weekend. When you're a kid, Halloween is all leading up to this nigh…

Halloween is almost upon us, and as a thirty-something with low energy, I'm not as excited as I used to be. In the days of yore, I would get together with friends and start planning our costumes months in advance, down to our footwear. Whether or not we ended up looking good was another story, but my god - we were enthusiastic, and we were prepared. These days I'm left trying to find a two-hour window to fetch some facial hair from Spirit Halloween , and struggling to do so. It's a rough life.…

Not to brag, but I was the MVP of Halloween when I was a kid. My grandma, my mom, and I concocted costumes that could not be more legendary. Here's a master list of the costumes I did so that you will believe me: I was Arthur from the hit PBS series, The Monopoly Man, The Mona Lisa, Ursula The Sea Witch, Garfield The Cat, and a Cavewoman all in a row. Those were the costumes I wore from Kindergarten through 5th grade, and I had all hits and no misses. Even when I was a teenager, my Halloweens w…

Feeling fab-boo-lous

If we wanna get nostalgic about McDonald's we can just remember all their past mascots...

You never know what's in there

It is officially October, which means celebrating the Halloween season is now completely socially acceptable. During the first few weeks of Spooktober, before Halloween events really start revving up, I like to take time to consume some good old fashioned Universal Monster Movies. I'm talking The Mummy, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, and how could you forget the ever so furry Wolf Man. I'm of the opinion that the old monster movies are the most superior horror movies. Sure, t…

I have been obsessed with horror movies since I was a kid. I saw a screening of Evil Dead where they squirt blood at the audience when I was 12, and from then on, I was hooked. What I love most about horror movies is seeing things far grosser and scarier than you regularly encounter. Of course, I don't morally agree with the creation of a Human Centipede, but I will definitely watch it and its sequels no matter how objectively bad they are. Why? Because I want to see a Human Centipede. Call me…

How are people NOT afraid of the dark? You don't know what's lurking in there...

If you don't wanna have a scary movie marathon with me this week, then we can't be friends.

OMG Ashleigh, let's get a Starbs

Anyone who doesn't think that Halloween is the best holiday is clearly lying to themselves. Halloween has something for every age: kids get to Trick or Treat, teens go to haunted houses & watch scary movies, and adults get to party the night away. The consistency across all ages during Halloween is that you get to transform into something else through the power of costuming. What could be more novel than that? Christmas is fun…for the kids. I'd say about 75% of the things I hear about Christmas…
