					<description><![CDATA[<p>"Blog post idea: how the eff do you prepare for trick-or-treaters?" I HAD to laugh when I got that text message from Chrystina a few years ago. She is the yin to my yang - her brain thinks in 100% analytical terms while I'm a bit more of the creative brain in our friendship.</p>

<p><em><small>This post was originally published in October 2016 and last updated in October 2021. All October posts are part of the <a href="http://countdowntohalloween.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Countdown to Halloween</a>!</small></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> She is the yin to my yang &#8211; her brain thinks in 100% analytical terms while I&#8217;m a bit more of the creative brain in our friendship. It seemed like such an obvious and easy thing to me that I had never considered writing about it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">But Chrystina loaded me up with questions, and I thought, &#8220;S<em>he&#8217;s absolutely right &#8211; this would be a great blog post!</em>&#8221; Then I started writing, and well&#8230;1,500+ words later I was done. Apparently, I have a LOT to share on trick-or-treating.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">That&#8217;s the beauty of blogging: the posts that seem to be the most obvious to you end up being the most important ones for your readers &#8211; and friends!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So if you&#8217;ve been wondering the same thing&#8230;today&#8217;s post is for you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>How to Get Ready for Trick-or-Treaters</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-33755" src="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters1.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="467" srcset="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters1.jpg 700w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters1-140x93.jpg 140w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<h5 style="text-align: left;">Question 1: Do I need to wear a costume?</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;"><b>I vote yes, but it&#8217;s 100% up to you.</b> I think wearing a costume helps <em>you</em> make it feel like more of an event rather than a chore. As a kiddo who LOVED trick-or-treating, I always enjoyed adults who answered the door in costume because it made the night feel a little more magical.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">By the way, <b>your costume doesn&#8217;t have to be anything fancy</b>. Grab a witch hat or cat ear headbands to wear, or do some simple make-up with black eyeliner to make yourself look like a cat. You could even just wear a Halloween-y T-shirt. You don&#8217;t have to go crazy &#8211; <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/spkyhalloween/costume-ideas/">get last-minute costume ideas right here</a>.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h5 style="text-align: left;">Question 2: Do I need to decorate my house?</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">If you haven&#8217;t already decorated the exterior of your house or your yard for Halloween, don&#8217;t stress on this one. Yes, decorated houses are AWESOME, but it also takes a lot of effort. I&#8217;ve been watching <a href="http://www.instagram.com/spookylittlehalloween">Instagram</a> friends working on their yards since mid-August. Not even kidding.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><b>However, a Halloween wreath or door hanging and maybe a jack-o-lantern would be easy and perfect to give your front porch a spooky vibe for one evening! </b>(If you need pumpkin carving tips, <a href="http://spookylittlehalloween.com/2016/10/25/pumpkin-carving-tips/">I&#8217;ve got you covered</a>.)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I also recommend turning on a porch light and/or lights inside your door so your house looks inviting and parents know it&#8217;s safe for kids to trick-or-treat there. If you have a screen or storm door, open your inner door so trick-or-treaters know someone is home. You could also sit outside your front door in a chair or on stairs to simplify things.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Dark doors/houses are a universal sign not to stop.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-33756" src="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters2.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="1050" srcset="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters2.jpg 700w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters2-200x300.jpg 200w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters2-400x600.jpg 400w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters2-140x210.jpg 140w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters2-300x450.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<h5 style="text-align: left;">Question 3: How much candy do I need?</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">This is probably the toughest question asked because every single neighborhood will be different. <b>If you aren&#8217;t sure and have a friendly neighbor who has been around a few years, ask them for an estimate.</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">My best guess would be to start with two large bags, assuming you&#8217;re giving kids 1-2 pieces of candy each. But I know candy is expensive (it&#8217;s my second largest expense for my Halloween party after alcohol!) &#8211; buy what you can afford. Don&#8217;t forget to check local store ads or store apps for coupons and sales this week!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><b>Keep kids of all ages in mind!</b> Kids in the 3-4 age range probably can&#8217;t have small, hard candies, but a simple Hershey bar would be perfect for them. Buying a variety of candy is perfect for covering this.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><b>Food allergies are something to consider as well.</b> You may grab some small non-candy goodies for kiddos with allergies &#8211; <a href="https://www.foodallergy.org/teal-pumpkin-project#.WBFqONUrLIU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">check out the Teal Pumpkin Project</a> for item suggestions. You can also place a teal pumpkin outside your door or <a href="http://www.foodallergy.org/teal-pumpkin-project/download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">print out this sign</a> and put it in your window or on your door so kids with these allergies know you have trick-or-treat goodies for them too.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="text-align: left;">Question 4: What happens if I run out of candy?</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;"><b>If you run out, you run out!</b> Several stores, like Target, have had cute signs that say &#8220;trick-or-treat&#8221; on one side and &#8220;out of candy&#8221; on the other, which are a great (and cute!) way to let trick-or-treaters know you&#8217;re out. (I think those are going to become a BIG thing next year.)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The years I handed out candy at my parent&#8217;s house we never ran out, but we definitely have a cut-off time. By 8:30 p.m. most kiddos have come through so we&#8217;d lock the storm door, close the front door and turn off the front lights. Once you&#8217;re out (or just done for the night), you should turn off porch lights so you&#8217;re a dark door.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-33757" src="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters3.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="467" srcset="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters3.jpg 700w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters3-300x200.jpg 300w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters3-400x267.jpg 400w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trick-or-treaters3-140x93.jpg 140w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<h5 style="text-align: left;">Question 5: What are some key phrases I can say to these children who show up at my door?</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">I like to encourage kids to say &#8220;trick-or-treat&#8221;, but keep in mind some kids are differently-abled and it might not be in their comfort zone to talk to strangers or say the phrase&#8230;and that&#8217;s okay.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If the kids are in the 8-13 range, you might joke with them. When they say trick-or-treat, ask them what trick they&#8217;re going to do for their treat or joke that you&#8217;ll trade them one of your treats for one of theirs. Just be silly and have fun!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">After that, I try to tell every kiddo what I like about their costume &#8211; esp. the ones who didn&#8217;t just buy theirs at a store. I still remember adults complimenting my costumes over the years and how awesome that made me feel. Make some kid&#8217;s night!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">On that note, if they&#8217;re dressed as a villain&#8230;I 100% support reacting with fear. If Darth Vadar shows up at the door, you bet I&#8217;m going to tell him I don&#8217;t know where the Rebel scum is and here, please have some candy. Have fun with the costumes and engage with the kids like they&#8217;re actually the character they&#8217;re dressed up as for the night.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="text-align: left;">Question 6: Do I sort the candy and give away what I don&#8217;t like first?</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">My vote used to be yes, absolutely. I like buying variety packs and usually end up with one that includes Milky Way bars&#8230;but they aren&#8217;t my favorite, so I give those away first.</p>
<p>That said, don&#8217;t be the house with the crappy candy. No one likes that house. Buy stuff you like to hand out.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="text-align: left;">Question 7: How do I make this as stress-free as possible?</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">Just enjoy it! Trick-or-treating is fun for kids. It should be fun for you too. Even if all you do is hand out candy, you are going to make some kiddos night because the kind you&#8217;re giving out is their favorite.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Other tips to consider:</h3>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Put your candy in a bowl.</b> It doesn&#8217;t have to be anything fancy, but dumping it all into a single container with easy access will keep things running smoothly &#8211; esp. when you get large groups at your door.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>It&#8217;s going to go WAY faster than you think.</b> Where I grew up, kids were always rushing from one house to the next &#8211; it was trick-or-treat, grab the candy, and then they&#8217;d be gone. Go with the flow!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>If you live in an urban area, check with local neighborhood groups to see if there&#8217;s an official candy map.</b> I live in the city, and I learned my area does this to help keep kids safe &#8211; if you want trick-or-treaters, you have to get on the map!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Don&#8217;t let the kids pick their own candy.</b> They will be there all night deciding or will take five pieces when you only meant for them to have two. It&#8217;s easier just to pick a random item and toss it in their bag or bucket.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Don&#8217;t just leave a bowl of candy outside the door and call it a night.</b> That&#8217;s so lame, and if that&#8217;s your plan&#8230;just don&#8217;t bother. No to Halloween Grinches!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Have some Halloween fun yourself! </b>Sneak a piece of candy now and again, put on a Halloween classic like &#8220;Hocus Pocus&#8221;, or flip on a cable channel airing Halloween movies. Sip a pumpkin beer. Enjoy your evening!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Trick-or-treating is nothing like the movies.</b> Unless you&#8217;re at a truck-or-treat event, I&#8217;m betting your neighborhood isn&#8217;t crawling with children. You&#8217;re going to have some lulls in the evening, which makes the movies in the above tip a great solution!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">If you have a way to set it up, <b>play a bit of haunted house music or a spooky playlist</b> near your front door for some extra ambiance. <a href="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/category/playlists/">Get ideas from my playlists</a>! (But beware &#8211; not all my song picks are kid-friendly.)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Have an open flame in your jack-o-lantern?</b> Make sure it&#8217;s a safe distance from the walkway. The last thing you need is some kiddo&#8217;s superhero cape going up in flames at your house.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Keep your own safety in mind.</b> It&#8217;s a sad reality of our world, but you never know who might knock on your door on Halloween night. Don&#8217;t leave your door unlocked and unattended at any time. If you have to step away, lock the door! If you live alone, consider inviting a friend or two over to help you hand out candy. Safety in numbers, my spooky friends!</li>
</ul>

<h5>How did you come up with the concept?</h5>
<p>We were inspired by the concept because of the Twisted Chapel on-site at Lizzy Gator. Many of the public comments have been either from a point of Tim Burton or Dr. Suess. so we ran first with the easiest theme to pull off in a short amount of time: Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice”.</p>
<p>The couple we picked to be a part of this was already involved in the theme since Scott is a meteorologist, he had part of the costume, and he had dressed up in the past on his show as the character. Trisha and Scott were just barely newlyweds (one month in!) when they signed up for this concept. Once we had the fitting for the red dress for Trisha, it was the perfect styled elopement coming to life.</p>

<h5>What was the most challenging part of putting together this wedding idea?</h5>
<p>The most challenging part we found on this particular shoot was really the mid-summer heat. In order to prepare for Halloween season photographically, we couldn’t wait until October, we had to move pretty quickly based on everyone’s schedules and availability. The heat was the most challenging thing of our entire day.</p>

<h5>What are you most proud of when you look at the photos and how this concept came together?</h5>
<p>I am most proud of how all the styling and details came together. Lizzy has a knack for grabbing items from all around their property and making a perfect setting for a ceremony and a reception for this particular elopement/small wedding. All of the volunteer wedding party were also styling themselves and doing their makeup to fit into this Burton-Meets-Goth-Meets-Beetlejuice day.</p>

<h5>What was your favorite part of the concept/shoot?</h5>
<p>As far as styling your party or wedding, bringing in the fun details of “Beetlejuice” was TRULY the most fun part. As I thought about how I wanted to showcase the food and desserts, I enlisted my amazingly creative friends locally to bring their skills to the theme. We had a beautiful green gooey cake with eyeballs that I finished off with black and white large marshmallows inspired by the sandworm.</p>
<p>Additionally, my friend Janna let us borrow many of her “Beetlejuice” toys so we could incorporate them into the photos. I also grabbed snack cakes, like Swiss Rolls, and when I cut them into pieces it had the swirl inside much like many of Burton’s aesthetics. We had beautifully done macaroons that tasted amazing, and I also cut up strawberry swirly cakes to mimic the shapes and feel of the theme.</p>
<p>To add to the black and white-styled theme I also added chocolate-covered Oreo’s both in milk chocolate and white chocolate with a small and large version stacked.</p>

<h5>Any tips or tricks for how someone could bring this concept to life for their own wedding?</h5>
<p>For drinks, while it doesn’t sound appealing, I used a green apple Gatorade to give us that very intense color for the styling of the event tables. Lizzy added her skull decanter, and it was the perfect fit for the overall feel going into the Halloween season.</p>
<p>For the reception table styling, we went with an intimate outdoor setting with a striped umbrella. The plates have black and white details including skulls and crossbones mixed with black and white laces as the coverings. We finished it off with metal cross-hatch chairs and the skeleton dogs guarding the right and left. The silverware was re-used from our Alice in Wonderland setup where I had melted and twisted them to give a funky look. I tied them all together with a bright green ribbon. The silver “gator” printed chargers were matched with glass plates and half-cut paper plates to add just a touch of dimension and fun.</p>

<p>She and her husband are NYC transplants originally from Melbourne, Australia. Nyssa and I became Internet friends more than a decade ago thanks to loving a band, and for as long as I can remember she&#8217;s celebrated Halloween.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For you U.S. friends who might not be aware&#8230;Halloween isn&#8217;t quite a THING in the rest of the world like it is here. So the fact that Nyssa celebrates is super fun to me.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The year she asked me this question was her first Halloween season in the U.S., and she and her husband wanted to do it up right! So she asked the expert (her words &#8211; I&#8217;m flattered!) for pumpkin carving advice.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Since we are in prime pumpkin carving season and as your resident pumpkin guts lover, I thought I&#8217;d share a few of my tips with you.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-33746" src="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/pumpkin-carving-tips15.png" alt="" width="700" height="933" srcset="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/pumpkin-carving-tips15.png 700w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/pumpkin-carving-tips15-225x300.png 225w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/pumpkin-carving-tips15-400x533.png 400w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/pumpkin-carving-tips15-140x187.png 140w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/pumpkin-carving-tips15-300x400.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="text-align: left;">Tip #1: Look for a good stem</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">If it&#8217;s extra-long or curvy, you get bonus points. Not only does this add character to your jack, but it also makes it a heck of a lot easier to open the lid.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="text-align: left;">Tip #2: Pick one that sits steadily</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">When you think you&#8217;ve found the perfect pumpkin, take it to a flat spot and make sure it sits steady. Nothing is worse than getting your precious pumpkin home only to discover it&#8217;ll roll away as soon as you light it up for the evening.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="text-align: left;">Tip #3: Don&#8217;t pick a perfect pumpkin</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">Halloween is a holiday for misfits and weirdos. Don&#8217;t let your pumpkin be the exception! It might sound silly and a little Linus in&#8221;It&#8217;s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown&#8221;, but I look for a pumpkin that &#8220;speaks&#8221; to me rather than hunting down one that is perfectly round. Look for a jack with a little character!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="text-align: left;">Tip #4: Never ever buy those pumpkin carving kits</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">They are crap and will break. You don&#8217;t need any special tools for pumpkin carving — you have everything you need in your kitchen! I use sharp knives right out of my drawer and metal spoons for cleaning out the pulp.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Of course, if you&#8217;re carving with kiddos please use tools appropriate for their abilities or carve for them. Not trying to send anyone to the hospital here!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-33748" src="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/pumpkin-carving-tips8.png" alt="" width="700" height="933" srcset="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/pumpkin-carving-tips8.png 700w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/pumpkin-carving-tips8-225x300.png 225w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/pumpkin-carving-tips8-400x533.png 400w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/pumpkin-carving-tips8-140x187.png 140w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/pumpkin-carving-tips8-300x400.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="text-align: left;">Tip #5: Practice your face or design on paper</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">I can still remember my mom and dad drawing practice faces on the newspaper we laid down for pumpkin carving when I was a kid. It&#8217;s something I still do to this day &#8211; it helps me perfect my design before I put in on the pumpkin.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When I am ready to draw it on the pumpkin, I use a pencil. It doesn&#8217;t leave behind lines like a permanent marker will, and it helps to make a slight indention to get your carving started.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="text-align: left;">Tip #6: Cut your lid at an angle</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">When you&#8217;re ready to open up your jack, insert the knife at an angle rather than straight up and down. This way, your lid won&#8217;t fall into the pumpkin!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="text-align: left;">Tip #7: Use a real candle</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">Look, I get the safety concerns around an open flame, and I&#8217;m certainly not suggesting you put your home or well-being at risk. But if you are monitoring your jack, use a real candle. It&#8217;s just so much more fun when that face is flickering at you from a real flame. <b>#halloweenpurist</b></p>

<p><em><small>This post was originally published in March 2018 and last updated in October 2021. All October posts are part of the <a href="http://countdowntohalloween.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Countdown to Halloween</a>!</small></em></p>
<p>Perhaps I&#8217;m biased now that I have an adorable niece and nephew to help dress up for Halloween, but this was a question Sheila from <a href="http://redshoesredwine.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Red Shoes. Red Wine.</a> and I pondered a while back at a blog conference. Neither of us has kiddos, but we both LOVE costumes &#8211; esp. cute kid costumes.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So, naturally, we decided to <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/RedShoesRedWine/costumes-for-kids/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">start our own Pinterest board</a> for kid costumes and invited our friend Cheyenne from <a href="http://www.senseandserendipityblog.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sense and Serendipity</a>, who <em>does</em> have adorable kiddos, to join too. We&#8217;ve been pinning up a storm.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><b>I&#8217;m working hard to find <em>clever</em> costume ideas for kids</b> &#8211; not just the run-of-the-mill costumes you can pick up at any box store come October 1. Sure, they take a bit more work and time to make, rather than buy&#8230;but they have SUCH a big payoff. And I think dressing your kid in clever Halloween costumes from the start is the easiest way to instill the love of October 31st in them.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><b>I mean, just look at my first costume:</b></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-13350" src="http://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/carebear.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="495" srcset="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/carebear.jpg 1472w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/carebear-600x424.jpg 600w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/carebear-300x212.jpg 300w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/carebear-768x543.jpg 768w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/carebear-1024x723.jpg 1024w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/carebear-150x106.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Y&#8217;all, my mom MADE that Care Bear costume for me when I was just two years old. I&#8217;m convinced it is, subconsciously, one of the reasons I love Halloween so much.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So with that in mind, today I&#8217;m sharing some of my favorite clever Halloween costumes for kids I&#8217;ve found so far.</p>

<div id="attachment_13335" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-13335" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-13335" src="http://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-cotton-candy.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="1049" srcset="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-cotton-candy.jpg 683w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-cotton-candy-600x900.jpg 600w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-cotton-candy-200x300.jpg 200w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-cotton-candy-150x225.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><p id="caption-attachment-13335" class="wp-caption-text"><a href="https://www.popsugar.com/moms/photo-gallery/38580399/image/38580401/Cotton-Candy">Source</a></p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">Just a bit of soft cotton with color-coordinated clothing turns your baby into an adorable fluff of cotton candy. (The only kind worth trying, in my opinion!)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_13336" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-13336" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-13336" src="http://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-baby-harry-potter.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="979" srcset="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-baby-harry-potter.jpg 536w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-baby-harry-potter-214x300.jpg 214w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-baby-harry-potter-150x210.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><p id="caption-attachment-13336" class="wp-caption-text"><a href="https://livelikeyouarerich.com/19-darling-homemade-babytoddler-halloween-costumes/#yhS2Fi5mrQDHKFOz.32">Source</a></p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Boy Who Lived is always an excellent Halloween costume choice, whether you&#8217;re not even one-year-old&#8230;or 100 years old.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_13337" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-13337" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-13337" src="http://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-curious-george.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="950" srcset="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-curious-george.jpg 684w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-curious-george-600x814.jpg 600w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-curious-george-221x300.jpg 221w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-curious-george-150x204.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><p id="caption-attachment-13337" class="wp-caption-text"><a href="http://emilymccall.com/2014/10/30/the-man-in-the-yellow-hat/">Source</a></p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">My favorite costumes are always those you make on your own. Sure, you probably won&#8217;t find Curious George&#8217;s Man in the Yellow Hat on the shelves of your local costume shop, but this would be ridiculously easy to put together!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_13339" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-13339" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-13339" src="http://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-rainbow.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="1051" srcset="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-rainbow.jpg 682w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-rainbow-600x901.jpg 600w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-rainbow-200x300.jpg 200w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-rainbow-150x225.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><p id="caption-attachment-13339" class="wp-caption-text"><a href="https://www.popsugar.com/moms/photo-gallery/38580399/image/38580417/Rainbow">Source</a></p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">Want to brighten up your Halloween? Why not go as a rainbow? I love the sunshine headband as an extra touch. Add a pair of solid-colored leggings and shoes, and you&#8217;re all set!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_13340" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-13340" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-13340" src="http://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-willie-nelson.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="1025" srcset="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-willie-nelson.jpg 700w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-willie-nelson-600x879.jpg 600w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-willie-nelson-205x300.jpg 205w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-willie-nelson-699x1024.jpg 699w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-willie-nelson-150x220.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><p id="caption-attachment-13340" class="wp-caption-text"><a href="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c3/2d/53/c32d537c3a5949735e798fef94735d54.png">Source</a></p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">We can argue later about whether music icons, such as Willie Nelson, are appropriate for kiddos&#8217; costumes. I live in Texas, Willie is a musical icon, and this costume is too stinkin&#8217; cute. End of story.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_13341" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-13341" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-13341" src="http://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-toddler-gnome.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="1050" srcset="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-toddler-gnome.jpg 750w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-toddler-gnome-600x900.jpg 600w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-toddler-gnome-200x300.jpg 200w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-toddler-gnome-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-toddler-gnome-150x225.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><p id="caption-attachment-13341" class="wp-caption-text"><a href="http://livefreecreative.co/2015/11/diy-garden-gnome-costume/#_a5y_p=4580313">Source</a></p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">I find toddler gnome costumes inexplicably adorable. I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s the little hat atop their heads or their huge, cheesy grins&#8230;but they make me go &#8220;Awww!&#8221; every time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_13342" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-13342" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-13342" src="http://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-bubble-bath.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="1049" srcset="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-bubble-bath.jpg 683w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-bubble-bath-600x900.jpg 600w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-bubble-bath-200x300.jpg 200w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/halloween-costumes-kids-bubble-bath-150x225.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><p id="caption-attachment-13342" class="wp-caption-text"><a href="https://www.popsugar.com/moms/photo-gallery/38580399/image/38580426/Bubble-Bath-Two">Source</a></p></div>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Margaritas: they aren't just for summer anymore! As a Texan, I am treated to my pick of these tart and tasty cocktails year-round, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

The two years I've served margaritas as my big batch cocktail - like my Beetlejuice Margarita - we've gone through them within the first two hours of the party!</p>

<h5 style="text-align: left;">Black Magic Margarita</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">Nothing is spookier than a jet-black cocktail, and I&#8217;m betting your Halloween party guests have never seen a black margarita. <a href="http://kroger.inspiredgathering.com/recipes/black-magic-margaritas" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GET THE RECIPE</strong></a></p>

<h5 style="text-align: left;">Smoky Harvest Apple Cider Margarita</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">Spice up your margarita and make it fall-friendly by using mezcal instead of tequila (more of a smoky flavor) and using cider instead of lime juice! <a href="https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/smoky-harvest-apple-cider-margaritas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GET THE RECIPE</strong></a></p>

<h5 style="text-align: left;">Monster Mash Margarita</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">I might love these margaritas more for how they&#8217;re styled than anything else, but a recipe with blood orange is always a good one in my book! <a href="https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/smoky-harvest-apple-cider-margaritas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GET THE RECIPE</strong></a></p>

<h5 style="text-align: left;">Pumpkin Spice Margarita</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">Yes, fall&#8217;s favorite flavor has even found its way into margarita recipes. <a href="http://spookylittlehalloween.com/2016/08/24/worst-halloween-fan-ever/">I&#8217;m not a big pumpkin spice fan</a>, but I might actually be brave enough to try this recipe. <a href="http://realhousemoms.com/pumpkin-spice-margarita/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GET THE RECIPE</strong></a></p>

<h5 style="text-align: left;">Hallow-rita</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">What Halloween-lovin&#8217; adult doesn&#8217;t wish they could go back to the days of trick-or-treating? This Hallow-rita might be the next best thing. <a href="http://www.mamalovesfood.com/2016/10/i-scream-halloween-ice-cream-floats.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GET THE RECIPE</strong></a></p>

<h5 style="text-align: left;">Morgue-a-rita</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">Want to know a secret? Sometimes presentation is the way to make a cocktail spooky, like serving these morgue-a-ritas on a silver tray with coroner&#8217;s tools! <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/design/make-and-celebrate/entertaining/halloween-morgue-a-rita-cocktail" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GET THE RECIPE</strong></a></p>

<h5 style="text-align: left;">Candy Corn Apple Pucker Margarita</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">This margarita recipe is about as unconventional as they come. It doesn&#8217;t have a single ingredient found in a classic margarita (gin, pinot grigio), so I don&#8217;t even know you can call it a margarita&#8230;but it might be fun to try! <a href="http://totallythebomb.com/apple-pucker-margarita-candy-corn-worms" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GET THE RECIPE</strong></a></p>

<h5 style="text-align: left;">Spiced Cider Margarita</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here&#8217;s another recipe using tequila&#8217;s smoky cousin, mezcal, for a gorgeous fall-inspired margarita.

<h5 style="text-align: left;">Kiwano (Toxic Sludge) Margarita</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">This one may not have a spooky name, but it&#8217;s made using a spooky-looking fruit! Definitely a drink for the adventurous margarita drinker. <a href="http://familyspice.com/halloween-cocktails-kiwano-margarita/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GET THE RECIPE</strong></a></p>

<h5 style="text-align: left;">Zomborita</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">This margarita recipe combines the flavors of apple and lemon with elderflower liqueur. Drink too many, and you just might turn into its namesake. <a href="http://ahealthylifeforme.com/zomborita-cocktail/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GET THE RECIPE</strong></a></p>

<h5 style="text-align: left;">Practical Magic Midnight Margarita</h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">And finally, no Halloween margarita list would be complete without this nod to the classic witch film, &#8220;Practical Magic&#8221;! Perfect for drinking at midnight&#8230;or on a beach somewhere.

<h5>Women&#8217;s Costume Pick: Flapper</h5>
<p>You cannot go wrong at any point in our current decade with a costume that calls back to the 1920s. If I had been able to host a party last year, it absolutely would have been a haunted Roaring 20s theme. <a href="https://shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantid=38286&amp;userid=1445883&amp;productid=1213247586&amp;afftrack="><strong>GET IT HERE</strong></a></p>

<h5>Plus Size Women&#8217;s Costume Pick: A League of Their Own</h5>
<p>Every time I pop onto HalloweenCostumes.com, this one catches my eye. I LOVED this movie as a kid and love the skirt on this uniform. Plus the only thing you need to add, as pictured here, are the shoes and bat! Everything else comes with the costume. <a href="https://shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantid=38286&amp;userid=1445883&amp;productid=1213250775&amp;afftrack=" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GET IT HERE</strong></a></p>

<h5>Men&#8217;s Costume Pick: Ghostbusters</h5>
<p>I think at SOME point, we&#8217;ve all dreamed of dressing up as one of the guys from &#8220;Ghostbusters&#8221;. I love that this version includes the jumpsuit, proton pack, and all four name badges so you pick which character you want to be every time you wear it. <a href="https://shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantid=38286&amp;userid=1445883&amp;productid=1213242949&amp;afftrack=" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GET IT HERE</strong></a></p>

<h5>Plus Size Men&#8217;s Costume Pick: Plague Doctor</h5>
<p>Another one that is oh-so-appropriate for the current times, esp. with a built-in mask. Plus, it&#8217;s creepy as hell! <a href="https://shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantid=38286&amp;userid=1445883&amp;productid=1213247191&amp;afftrack=" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GET IT HERE</strong></a></p>

<h5>Baby Costume Pick: Candy Corn</h5>
<p>I may not eat it, but I would enjoy the heck out of dressing a kiddo up as candy corn. And I think this is a great alternative to the classic pumpkin so many babies get dressed as at Halloween. <a href="https://shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantid=38286&amp;userid=1445883&amp;productid=1213247535&amp;afftrack=" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GET IT HERE</strong></a></p>

<h5>Toddler Costume Pick: Beetlejuice</h5>
<p>Perhaps this is why I don&#8217;t have kids: because I would 100% dress them up as a character that isn&#8217;t kid-friendly at all. But&#8230;how cute is a tiny Beetlejuice wandering the streets on Halloween night? I would absolutely summon this bio-exorcist! <a href="https://shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantid=38286&amp;userid=1445883&amp;productid=1213242257&amp;afftrack=" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GET IT HERE</strong></a></p>

<h5>Girl&#8217;s Costume Pick: Coraline</h5>
<p>Need to run away to your Other Mother this Halloween? Just add jeans, and you&#8217;ve got the perfect Coraline costume for a kiddo. This look comes with the jacket, boot covers, AND blue wig! <a href="https://shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantid=38286&amp;userid=1445883&amp;productid=1213242443&amp;afftrack=" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GET IT HERE</strong></a></p>

<h5>Group Costume Pick: DC Girls</h5>
<p>Okay, I&#8217;ll admit&#8230;I&#8217;m more of a Marvel girl myself after binging them all earlier this year, but there is something powerful about a team of female comic book heroes!

<p>It has been a hot item this year! And just in case you don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m talking about, let me share: 2021 makes the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Monster Cereals, Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry. Over the years, two more cereals entered and exited the lineup too: Yummy Mummy and Frute Brute.</p>
<p>This year to celebrate the milestone anniversary, General Mills put all five cereals together in one box and dubbed it the <a href="https://monstermashcereal.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Monster Mash</a>. I&#8217;ve been trying to find it in stores since late July, and — despite living in one of the largest cities in the country — have failed.</p>
<p>Luckily my friend <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thathalloweenbro/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James</a> saved the day by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CUFyb17FhQ4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mailing me a box</a>.</p>
<p>While I didn&#8217;t grow up eating the Monster Cereals, I love how excited the Halloween community gets when this favorite returns year after year, and I&#8217;m enjoying making them a part of my Halloween season now.</p>
<p>If you guys love the Monster Cereals too, I&#8217;m betting you&#8217;ll find a few treats to enjoy in this blog post!</p>

<p><em><small>All October posts are part of the <a href="http://countdowntohalloween.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Countdown to Halloween</a>!</small></em></p>
<p>That was more than four years before I ever started this blog. At that point, I was trying to grow my annual Halloween party, Halloweenie Roast, into an event my friends look forward to all year long.</p>
<p>And it needed the perfect soundtrack.</p>
<p>So I went to work dropping every spooky, supernatural, and occult song I genuinely enjoyed onto a Spotify playlist. Since Halloweenie Roast always had a theme, I made sure to include songs that spoke to that as well.</p>
<p>But when the next year rolled around, I found myself wanting to preserve the previous year&#8217;s work. Juggling annual playlists became a bit cumbersome, so I decided to start filing everything into an ultimate playlist.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m sharing with you today as my 2021 Halloween playlist: a decade&#8217;s worth of hand-picked songs that are perfect for spooky season.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>The Ultimate Halloween Playlist</h3>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/4VjWOk4i3N0NQ050iO1xWw" width="100%" height="380" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The playlist started from personal knowledge and preferences. It probably doubled, possibly tripled, in size when I was introduced to Dead Air back in 2015.</p>
<p>Now, anytime I run across a song that I qualify as spooky enough for a Halloween playlist, it gets added&#8230;which has resulted in just over 900 songs, or two FULL days&#8217; worth of music for you to listen to.</p>
<p>Previously, this playlist was top secret and only made available to my Killer Halloween Party students&#8230;but I decided this was the year to finally share it out with the world.</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re looking for classics, horror movie themes, or something brand new to you, you&#8217;re sure to find it on The Ultimate Halloween Playlist.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>19 Hand-Picked Faves:</h3>
<p>Nine-hundred songs is a LOT to listen to, so here are 19 of my favorites I think you should check out:</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-33509" src="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/ultimate-halloween-playlist-fave-picks-200x300.png" alt="The Ultimate Halloween Playlist: Use these 900 songs as your own personal Halloween radio station or to create your party playlists!" width="700" height="1050" srcset="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/ultimate-halloween-playlist-fave-picks-200x300.png 200w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/ultimate-halloween-playlist-fave-picks-683x1024.png 683w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/ultimate-halloween-playlist-fave-picks-768x1152.png 768w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/ultimate-halloween-playlist-fave-picks-400x600.png 400w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/ultimate-halloween-playlist-fave-picks-140x210.png 140w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/ultimate-halloween-playlist-fave-picks-300x450.png 300w, https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/ultimate-halloween-playlist-fave-picks.png 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Thriller/Heads Will Roll by Glee Cast</strong> &#8211; A favorite dance track I played the heck out of at Halloweenie Roast 2011</li>
<li><strong>The Lurch by Ted Cassidy</strong> &#8211; A fun, kitschy song that&#8217;s a nod to &#8220;The Addams Family&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>It Must Be Halloween by Trout Fishing in America</strong> &#8211; This one conjures up the most magical night of trick-or-treating in my head every time I hear it, also a fave for <a href="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/2019/09/12/halloween-party-playlist/">your Halloween party playlist</a></li>
<li><strong>Screamin&#8217; Ball (At Dracula Hall) by The Duponts</strong> &#8211; Some of my faves on this playlist are the older tunes that came on the cusp of &#8220;Monster Mash&#8221;, like this one!</li>
<li><strong>Haunted House of Rock by Whodini</strong> &#8211; This one makes me feel like I&#8217;m in some killer late 80s slasher flick</li>
<li><strong>The Ghost Who Walks by Karen Elson</strong> &#8211; So creepy, so dreamy, so lovely</li>
<li><strong>Raised by Bats by Aurelio Voltaire</strong> &#8211; Or really anything by Voltaire on this playlist!</li>
<li><strong>Black Magic by Magic Wands</strong> &#8211; The perfect magical rock anthem</li>
<li><strong>Trick or Treat by Nekromantix</strong> &#8211; Another one that fills me with visions of a perfect Halloween night out trick-or-treating, just featured on my <a href="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/2021/09/15/31-halloween-songs-never-heard/">31 Halloween Songs You&#8217;ve Never Heard</a> playlist</li>
<li><strong>Horror Queen by Nancy Nightmare and The Wizard</strong> &#8211; An anthem for all you horror movie queens</li>
<li><strong>13 Nights of Halloween by Elvira</strong> &#8211; In case you didn&#8217;t know this existed</li>
<li><strong>Black Magic by Ruston Kelly</strong> &#8211; Such a great, low-key song featured on my <a href="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/2019/08/22/halloween-and-chill-playlist/">Halloween &amp; Chill</a> playlist</li>
<li><strong>I Put a Spell on You by The Animals</strong> &#8211; A fun twist on a classic</li>
<li><strong>Straight to Hell by LVCRFT and Sabrina Spellman</strong> &#8211; Because y&#8217;all know I still can&#8217;t stop playing it</li>
<li><strong>Ghostbusters by Pentatonix</strong> &#8211; Another great twist on a classic</li>
<li><strong>Anything Can Happen on Halloween by Stonegarth</strong> &#8211; The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FMf8ltkCgM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tim Curry version</a> is iconic but not on Spotify&#8230;so this cover will suffice</li>
<li><strong>Monster Mash by The Derevolutions</strong> &#8211; My fave cover! Find your own on this playlist of <a href="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/2017/09/12/monster-mash-covers/">50+ versions of Monster Mash</a></li>
<li><strong>All Hallow&#8217;s Eve by Mannheim Steamroller</strong> &#8211; I know, the least cool band EVER&#8230;but their Halloween music definitely sets the mood!</li>
<li><strong>She Put a Spell on Me by Pretty Frankenstein</strong> &#8211; Dark, creepy, perfect for Halloween</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Did you know there are TONS of creators online selling Halloween treats for you? And, even better, they do it all year long!</p>

<p><em><small>All October posts are part of the <a href="http://countdowntohalloween.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Countdown to Halloween</a>!</small></em></p>
<p>I know, it&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve done for a while with my digital and then mini magazines. But this year for Halloween season, I decided I wanted to take the leap and go full-size with my magazine.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-33603" src="https://spookylittlehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/spooky-little-halloween-magazine3.png" alt="" width="700" height="933" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>And I did it!</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll give you a little peek inside, a full list of the content, and a link to where you can buy a copy while supplies last.</p>
<p>But first, I want to give a very heartfelt <strong>THANK YOU</strong> to two Halloween friends who convinced me I could do this: Andrew and Devin over at <a href="https://yourbesthalloweenever.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Your Best Halloween Ever.</a></p>
<p>Back in late July, I had a little crisis of faith of whether I could successfully pull off making a magazine. This almost didn&#8217;t happen. But thanks to a little tough love, ghost hugs, and constant support through the creation process, the magazine came together.</p>
<p>And honestly, I&#8217;m really proud of it.</p>
<p>As you&#8217;ll learn when you read the magazine, my professional career began in journalism. These days, I&#8217;m working in the digital marketing department of a national nonprofit as a content manager. Creating content is clearly my passion since I do it all day&#8230;and then spend my evenings doing the Halloween version.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always LOVED the creation process with print publications, in particular, so the fact that I can say I published my own magazine is a little surreal.</p>
<p>But enough of that. What you really want is the inside scoop.</p>

<p>Happy haunting,<br />
