I was trying desperately to get HJ’s newest endeavor, the Haunt Jaunts Halloween Emporium, up and running well before October. Sadly, like so many of my big ideas, it didn’t quite happen the way I’d envisioned. However, better late than never right? I’m pleased to announce that for all intentsContinue Reading

I don’t know about you, but come August I’m ready to start my Halloween shopping. Two of my favorite Halloween shopping spots, SpiritHalloween.com and Halloween Express, are running deals in August. (This is also as good a place as any to make a DISCLAIMER: I participate in affiliate marketing programsContinue Reading

I’m not creative enough to come up with my own original costumes, but I do appreciate the creativity of those who can. I also appreciate the creativity of those who design original costumes. Each year the costumes keep getting better and better. This year, in my opinion, was one ofContinue Reading

I rounded up my picks for the 31 funniest Halloween costumes this year, one for each day of this spooktacular month. Some made my funny Halloween costumes lists (Top 5 and 15 More Hilarious Costumes) from last year, but many more are new. Warning: some of these are not forContinue Reading

One thing I said I would do as part of the HJ Spooktacular Halloween Blog Party was a costume contest. One of my blogging pals and a V.I.P. Guest, Chris the Frog Queen from Frog on the Pumpkin, wrote how she was curious to see how I was going toContinue Reading

I never should’ve written a “Top 5 Hilarious Halloween Costumes for 2010” post so early in the season. While the ones I initially picked as Top 5 were funny, I’ve been looking at a lot of costumes ever since. I’ve now found 15 even more hilarious Halloween costumes. Like the initialContinue Reading

As I’ve alluded to before, most recently in my post about the best haunted house attractions, masks freak me out. I think this quote from the Baroness de Pontalba, a character in the book New Orleans Legacy by Alexandra Ripley, comes closest to explaining it: Something happens to people when they’reContinue Reading

  If you want to (and you know some of you out there will), it’s more possible now than ever before for you and your pet –heck, your whole family–  to wear matching or coordinating costumes for Halloween. I realized this after I saw this Cat in the Hat Pet Halloween costume forContinue Reading
