My So-Called Life Halloween
“When I was little I, like, worshiped Halloween. And truthfully, part of me still does. ‘Cause it’s your one chance all year to be someone else.” ~ Angela Chase
As a 90s teen, I lived for My So-Called Life. I taped the episodes on VHS so I could re-watch them obsessively. Oh, the days before binging on streaming sites. The Halloween episode was an ethereal ghost story about teenage souls meeting across time. Cheesy, but just enough. My favorite part of the episode was Angela’s sister Danielle dressed up as Angela.
Classic!

Horror Cinema Trivia: Halloween (1978)
The original script for 1978’s Halloween was titled “The Babysitter Murders.” In it, the events took place over several days. The script was changed to have everything happen on the same day as a budgetary decision. It reduced the number of costume changes and locations required. It was decided that Halloween, the scariest night of the year, was the perfect night for this to happen.
Of the female leads (who were all supposed to be in high school), only Jamie Lee Curtis was actually a teenager at the time of shooting.

DIY: Creepy Halloween Decorations
I particularly love this Halloween décor craft because it is so simple to get the supplies: figurines from the dollar store or thrift store, black spray paint and red acrylic paint. The effect is great! See the step-by-step instructions at Sadie Seasongoods: Halloween Figurines for Scary Halloween Decorations.

McDonald’s Halloween Buckets
As a kid, I always loved the look of the Halloween trick-or-treat buckets you could get at McDonald’s, but I was disappointed in their small size. It was probably less than a quarter of what I could get into an empty pillow case. What was the point? lol
