Well, another Halloween season in the books! I’m not looking forward to the task of taking down my Halloween decorations (although my husband can’t wait for me to pack away the creepy antique photos). I’ve realized that just as some families have Thanksgiving and Christmas traditions, I have Halloween traditions that just can’t be missed …
Happy Halloween! I must say, this has been one of the best Halloween seasons yet for me. Here’s a quick recap of my October: My friend Coco and I really got into the haunts this year, visiting Netherworld, Chambers of Horror and Horror Hill. The Little 5 Points Halloween parade is not to be missed, …
On Sunday night, Coco and I decided that two haunts just wasn’t enough this Halloween season. At the recommendation of a few staffers at Netherworld, we made the trip to Newnan to check out Horror Hill. We weren’t disappointed. Actually, we were disappointed after the first of two houses. It was short and left a …
Over on my Facebook page, I’ve been talking about my annual reading of Ray Bradbury’s “The Halloween Tree.” It’s just not October without cracking open the pages of that book. Sure, it’s written for tween boys, but it’s still classic Ray Bradbury in one of his timeless “October country” settings. “The Halloween Tree” follows eight …
With two haunted houses already checked off of our October to-do list, it only seemed fitting that my friend Coco and I should go on a ghost tour. We teamed up with two of Coco’s friends to attend the Roswell Ghost Tour last night. I’ve wanted to attend the tour for several years now. I …
Going to Netherworld‘s two haunted houses is an annual tradition for me and my friend Coco. Last night, we mustered our courage and made the short drive to Atlanta’s top-rated haunt. The line was a little longer than we expected for a Tuesday night, but we waited only ten or fifteen minutes before we were …
Yesterday I was lucky enough to win a pair of tickets to Chambers of Horror, a haunted house behind the Masquerade in downtown Atlanta. I took my friend Coco along as my companion since she’s my perennial haunted house partner. Being a Tuesday night, it wasn’t crowded at all. Still, before venturing into the torture-themed …
Most people know that Halloween is my favorite holiday. I don’t just celebrate it on October 31st: for me, the entire month of October is “Halloween season.” Since I won’t be home tomorrow to post on October 1st, I’m kicking off the Halloween season a day early with a few of my favorite Atlanta-area Halloween …
Normally I would blame the Chatham Artillery Punch. However, it was still early in the night, well before our first sips of Savannah’s famous libation, and already we were laughing at all kinds of silly things. It’s typical of a Girls Weekend. Our latest weekend revolved around Halloween in Savannah. Four of us – Mom, …
October has come and gone, which means my favorite holiday is over for another year. Halloween has turned into a month-long celebration for me, and I put my decorations out on October 1st this year. In fact, I still need to take them down – I’ve been sick the past few days and haven’t done …
