Aside from doing your yard haunts and/or taking your kids trick-or-treating, what are your Halloween tradition(s)? Not just Halloween night, but the entire bewitching season

Mine seem to be scrambling to get props completed, Getting everything out and tinkering with the set up until the 1st TOT'ers arrive.

My wife takes my son TOTing I just don't seem to have the time...

Every year we get a Halloween portrait of the girls. They dress in Halloween colors and wear Halloween shirts, but no costumes.

All of October is spent decorating and making fun treats.

Playing scary boards games and watching HORROR movies!!!!!
And CARTOONS!! A MUST!

Aside from decorating and taking our son ToT'ing I know we watch some halloween movies every year. A definate one would be "The Worst Witch" and "Monster House"

Monster House sounds familiar, but I've never heard of The Worst Witch. What year is that from?

Every year I HAVE to watch these Halloween cartoons my Godmother had recorded for me back in the 80s lol. It was some Disney special that came on. Like a medley of creepy clips from different cartoons. Also gotta watch The Great Pumpkin and the first Halloween

its a halloween movie that used to come on Disney. It's from the 80s, has Tim Curry in it.



and here's monster house

Going to haunted houses and hayrides, checking out stores, and watching Halloween specials.

Every year without fail, my daughter and I watch "Young Frankenstein" while we carve pumpkins.

For the entire month, we watch horror movies. A few days before, we carve pumpkins and watch Scooby Doo and Monster House and whatever else we like that is spooky/halloween themed.

If we can fit it in, we also go to haunted houses in the area.

Halloween day, we sleep in, go out to our anniversary lunch (married on Halloween ) then come home and putter with the props. We try to fit in a cat nap and then get the yard display finished up just in time for the TOTs.

End of the night, we take it all in (there is nothing left - we like the circus idea of packing up and leaving without a trace - adds to the magic)

And then we come in, have a late dinner and a few drinks and sleep REALLY late the next day.
