How-do, Gang.

Did a quick check on moon phases for 2015, looks like the full moon in October (known as the Hunter's moon, traditionally, which should amuse all the werewolf fans out there) is...

October 27th. That's a Tuesday. By Halloween, Saturday the 31st, it will be waning gibbous, but still showing 80% of the surface.

So the last week of October will be illuminated with moonlight, at least for those who have relatively clear or partly cloudy skies.

I noticed that several months ago. I had planned to do a bunch of projections this year when I noticed that our local newspaper website had the phases of the moon on the home page. I checked ahead to October and sure enough, nice and bright.

I'll have to check for next year. I know they have it mapped out for decades to come.

That will be quite cool! I don't have the concern about too much light v. my props/display as my street is lit anyway. I love a big full(ish) moon on Halloween!

Funny you mentioned that. This years prop happens to be a werewolf.

Thanks for the info spats.....I remember one year (about 12 yrs ago maybe?) where the moon was huge on halloween night.It was gorgeous and made me fall in love with the magic that is Halloween. I thought it was a harvest moon, but I think hubby told me it couldn't be in October.

I just checked the moon rise time for south eastern PA and it's not until around 10:00 pm. Which means my TOTs will be long gone.
I guess I will need to provide my own lighting.

EVERY Halloween is a bright Halloween for me thanks to the [email protected]#$#$% streetlight across from my driveway that shines with the light of a thousands suns upon my entire front yard.

One Full-Moon October I managed to take my Wife on her first Historical Grave Yard tour of the local grave yard here in Mount Carrol, Illinois.
The night itself was warm enough,air still, moon full as the truck-drawn custom built wagon wound it's way through the narrow grave yard roads, then came the loop .
From a high enough cliff overlooking the downtown with it's brick street, antique store fronts all seemed to be below us and we seemed to be getting that aerial view. And the full Moon was right behind the town.
Very neat!!

I'm perfectly happy with moonlight! It's so much better than the rain / snow / wind we had last year! Plus there are no streetlights on my street, so that's should help with the ToTers.

Just my luck too, bought a new house in brand new subdivision in 2007, my first house so I was super excited so not noticing the street light right smack across my lot was not on my radar.That light is the bane of my (Halloween)existence. Shines all over my cemetery that is my mainstay,grrrr!!!
