This is Halloween

17/10/2025

By Mel

As a lover of the spooky season, I tend to go all out and make the most of Halloween! Now, let me just state this now, “Halloween isn’t just for kids, it’s for everyone!”

I have always loved Halloween since I can remember, so I don’t want to stop that any time soon! So I wanted to share some of my favourite activities to do within the spooky season.

  • Halloween DIY.
One of my favourite things to do overall is be creative. Create things that are unusual or just above all fun to make and interesting to look at! Recently, to start off October I decided to make some Halloween themed ducks and pumpkins. 

So what I did was I brought some household objects, cheap from my local bargain shop and decided to get some inspiration from Pinterest to get me started! My recent one I made was a pumpkin but I painted it blue with a yellow stalk, with a black bow.

So to define the idea behind this I’m a lover of Alice In Wonderland and Alice means a lot to me so why not start off with something that you most desire?

  • Attending Halloween Events
This year, it was my goal to attend more Halloween events like Halloween Circus, zombie applicative movie theatre and corn mazes!

  • Reading Up About Halloween Myths And Legends.
So some of my favourite myths and legends I’ve recently read about are; 
  • Mexico: La Llorona - The Weeping Woman
  • USA: The Deer Woman
  • Devil’s Bridge (Which I have visited)
  • The Lady of the Lake

I wanted to give a quick brief description of “Devil’s Bridge” as I’ve recently visited it. The urban legend goes something like this; The devil gained a bargain with a local woman whose cow was stranded across the river. In a bid to buy her soul, the devil said he’d build her a bridge in exchange for the soul of the first living thing that crossed it.

So you van kind of see why I have a liking for urban legends then visiting the location of the legend itself. The history behind it is quite interesting and can sometimes make you question how this urban legend came to exist. ​

Spooky Series to see pt 2

30/10/2023

In a previous post, Kenzie talked about her favourite Halloween movies, so if you are having a spooky movie night check that out. However, if you want a spooky TV show to watch over the Halloween period, here are Josh's top five spooky series.

Just like Kenzie did, I will be rating them on a spoopines scale. 1 being a little bit spoopy, 5 being hiding behind a pillow.

5. Humans - The Hawkins family buy a synth (an AI robot) to help bring the family together, but will it tear them apart?

This is more of a thriller due to how creepily real this could be in a not so distant future. It has 3 seasons.

Spoopiness: 2 out of 5 👻

4. The Umbrella Academy - After growing apart, the Hargreeves family must re-unite to save the world.

A superhero action and adventure, doesn't scream spooky does it? But with plenty of gore and comedy it is a great 2 season binge with a 3rd season possibly on the way.

Spoopiness: 1 out of 5 👻

3. The Returned / Les Revenants - After a tragic accident, the whole town prays to see their loved ones again. But what if they actually returned?

Unlike the others, this series is actually French, so you'd have to watch it with subtitles, or there is an American version. But it is a great zombie thriller, unlike any other hence, why it got 2 seasons.

Spoopiness: 3.5 out of 5 👻

4. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina - With her 16th birthday (Halloween day) fast approaching, Sabrina must choose between her human friends and her witch family.

This is a thriller mystery filled with witchy drama. It spans 3 seasons but I've only seen the first two so I was surprised when I heard the third one apparently turns very musical :/.  However, you are into that here is a 4th season on it's way.

Spoopiness: Somewhere between 3.4 and 4 out of 5 👻

5. Ratched - Based on a true story, the stylish Mildred Ratched starts work as a nurse, but is there a dark side to her?

Definitely a very, gory, horror! Not for the faint of heart as the 18 age rating suggests, so have that pillow to hand. For this 1 season (8 episodes) binge.

Spoopiness: 4 to 4.5 out of 5👻

I hope that this has given you something to binge while curled up in a blanket, eat some sweet treats and binge during the witching hour. 

Stay safe and stay spooky - Josh 🎃
