Don’t you just love
this time of year…. Leaves changing color and falling, creating a blanket of
crunch under your feet. Mums and pansies
on porches in the tones of the earth—deep purples, rusty orange, and golden yellow. Crisp bite in the air that meets you in the mornings
and the evenings, and the sunlight during the fall seems to take on a more
golden hue than usual. Of course, then
there’s pumpkins. Pumpkin
jack-o-lanterns, pumpkin lattes, cookies and cakes and brownies spiked with
pumpkin and cinnamon. It’s fantastic.
And in and amongst all this glorious autumnal splendor, there’s the excitement
of dressing up as someone completely different from who you are and going forth
into the darkness to wield that identity for one evening, not knowing what you’ll
encounter on your journey.
I hope you don’t mind
my musings, but I just have to pay homage to one of our favorite seasons. I’ll bring us back now to the subject at
hand. My fellow children of the night…
we approach that most feared of all evenings…Halloween!!! Halloween is one of our favorite holidays, and as with most
holidays, we have developed some standing traditions for the Tuesday Night
Movie Nuts. We always watch a variety of
scary movies throughout the entire month of October—hauntings, slashers,
psychopaths, demented personalities…
However, we always set aside one week to watch our all-time favorite
Halloween movies. This year, we held off
and saved the best for last, watching these two cult classics right before
Halloween. As I reviewed these movies
last year, I’m just going to give you all the link to that post so you can see
what we love to watch every year to scare ourselves just a little. It’s become a welcome tradition. Check it out…..if you dare that is….
