I’m such a huge fan of the witching season that I’m kinda sad that it’s gone by so quickly. Not like I need an excuse to relish in this type of stuff, it just feels very appropriate to go all out during Halloween. To help celebrate, I compiled a list of 31 Halloween-musts – music, clothes, food, movies – all things that are Halloween appropriate (and anytime appropriate, really).
Take a look and have a Happy Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!
