It is OFFICIAL

There are now 100 Days to Halloween.

Today I thought I would share some of the things that I am looking forward to doing

in these next 100 days:

First Up:

Looking for the perfect costume for my dog:

Saturday Nights are going to be Spooky Movie night at Taigh Anita. I used to do this during the winter

but I thought I’d shake things up a bit. This is a movie I am looking forward to seeing:

My goal is to watch a new horror or suspense film every Saturday and to make some Halloween treats.

Which leads me to this:

I bought  a skull cake pan after Halloween a couple of years ago.

I got it after Halloween and because

the stores were asking a crazy amount of money for it and it wasn’t

a decoration so I decided to wait. This year is go time and I can’t wait to try  this out:

I am going to be in Wisconsin about two weeks before Halloween to spend the best Holiday in the World

with my Granddaughter. Her hometown holds  a festival called Spooktacular – check this out:

The Annual Fall “Spooktacular” Festival takes place along downtown State Street (Hwy 33). Festival activities include pumpkin-carving, face painting, children’s costume contest and pet costume contest, brat fry, fire trucks, flea market and candy treats galore. Bring your camera and take photos of your family with our many face painted BOO boards! Many of the downtown businesses will also be spookily decorated for the event.  Citywide trick or treating will also take place on this day, making it a great family day to spend in downtown Fox Lake. The Fox Lake Chamber of Commerce is always looking for vendors, groups and local businesses to display and share their wares, as well as zombies and ghouls to walk the streets!

In addition, I’ll be doing  some Cemetery exploration and taking loads of pictures. How great does this sound?

These are just three things I’ll be doing and I am sure I will be doing more and I’ll be sharing all of it here because

HALLOWEEN IS A 100 DAYS AWAY EVERYBODY!

A Little Grimm

Fairy tales are horror stories so it’s fitting to share them as collected by The Brothers Grimm  today on the 21st day before Halloween.
