Guys Halloween is just around the corner and I for one will be sad when it has come and gone. So, to try and keep Halloween going for as long as I can this year I’ll be talking about it this week AND next week!

Recently Krista over at LeeksPlays tagged me to take part in the Hallotober Tag, and I thought it would be rude not to join in. 😛 Halloween has fast turned into one of my favourite times of year and I am really excited for the spookiest day to be upon us next week!

I’ve literally just gotten home from getting my nails done for Halloween and I’m so excited to answer the questions on this tag now! Honestly, why can’t Halloween be everyday of the year? Or at least once a month? 😛

1. What’s your favourite thing about October?

It’s not long after my favourite month of the year (September) and autumn is in full swing by that point! The weather is cooler, earlier nights are looming and I don’t need any excuse for drinking plenty of hot chocolates.

2. Are you a big celebrator of Halloween?

I have been on and off over the years! When I was a student I did really enjoy dressing up and going out for Halloween. These days I do enjoy doing stuff at home and with friends. This year I’ve bought shit loads of decorations for the house… I have zero regrets!

3. What’s your favourite horror movie?

I’d definitely say The Witches, The Addams Family and Beetlejuice are some that come to my mind straight away!

4. Would you rather a cosy night in watching horrors or a big night out in a costume?

I definitely prefer to stay in these days. The last time I went out for Halloween we couldn’t even get a drink due to how busy it was. It was a nightmare. This year I’m planning to definitely stay in and be cosy.

5. Which has been your most favourite costume to date?

It’s hard to choose to be honest with you… It’s either going to be Alex DeLarge from when I was 21 or when me and Dane dressed up as Mysterion and The Coon from South Park when we were 25/26. I’m so proud of both of those costumes to date and would love to wear The Coon out for cosplay in the future when cons go back to normal.

6. Bobbing for apples or pin the hat on the witch?

Pin the hat on the witch! Bobbing for apples has always been something that grossed me out. I remember as a kid wanting to give it a go but never doing so due to the thought of loads of people spit being in the tub.

7. How do you celebrate Halloween?

It depends to be honest with you. I usually try and do something whether it be with Dane or friends. It’s always fun to watch a film, play games or just do something spooky!

8. What’s your least favourite horror?

I’ve always found the Halloween series to be boring and overrated… Same for Paranormal Activity. This year I’ve wanted to watch Hocus Pocus as I’ve never seen it before and most people rave about it… However I feel like it’ll be another one that is overrated as well and would fast become something I regret watching.

9. Do you have a favourite trick or treating memory?

I only went once as a kid and we wore bin bags. xD Mostly we got given money instead of sweets. I think trick or treating was always something I’d wanted to do but after doing it I felt rubbish. It just felt like more effort than it was worth and like we were “begging” for sweets.

10. What’s your favourite thing about Halloween?

The only thing I can think of is when kids knock your door trick or treating and they’ve made ZERO effort. One year we had some teenagers knock the door and they hadn’t even dressed up… They’d put a bit of zombie make up on and blood. We gave them sweets anyway but it seemed so lazy of them.

This gif is pretty relevant too…

11. Scary costume or silly costume?

Silly costume! I’m not one for scary myself. I always like to have a laugh and especially at Halloween.

12. What’s your favourite Halloween candy?

I can’t say as I really have one to be honest with you… Years ago we bought some gummy spiders from a supermarket and they were so lovely! 😀

13. How will you be decorating your Animal Crossing Island this Halloween?

Well! So far I’ve decorated my villagers gardens with coloured Halloween/pumpkin decorations based on them. Aka Bones is white so he got a white pumpkin item. I’m trying to decorate as much spook as I can!

AND anyone else who would LOVE to take part in this tag! 😀

So guys that is it, Hallotober Tag! I don’t know why but 2020 I have fallen in love with the idea of celebrating Halloween. I think it’s due to COVID and lockdown and due to being in the house most of the time now, I think I just wanted to get it looking really cool for Halloween.

To be honest with you, some of the decorations I’ve bought, I’m planning to leave up as they’re so cool! I bought some ghost fairy lights and I’m already planning to keep them where I’ve popped them. We’ve also bought a big ghost fairy light which I’d love to keep somewhere.

Are you looking forward to Halloween this year? If so, what are you planning on doing? 🙂

Also, make sure to take part in the tag if you would like to! Make sure to link me back to your posts as I’d love to read your answers to the questions. 🙂

Until next time, take care guys and see you next week for Halloween! 😀

Spooky Halloween Tag

Another tag, another day but this time it’s the spooky Halloween tag, once again brought to you by the lovely Jemma’s Simple Life. I’ve been a little quiet on my blog the past week due to being busy with work and personal life. It would seem since moving out I don’t get as  much time as I would have hoped to do blog work. Well either that or I’m too busy having a life… I guess.

SO without anymore blabbering I’m going to get on with the tag. 😛

1. What’s your favourite horror movie?

This is such a tough question because I don’t know… I literally just Googled “horror movies” to see what movies it came up with. I’ll take some off of the list that I love! The Shining, Rosemary’s Baby, Let The Right One In (the original version!), Scary Movie 1 and 2 (it’s a comical horror… IT COUNTS!), 28 Days Later, The Fly, The Silence Of The Lambs and Carrie (the old one but the new one is really good too!).

Shaun Of The Dead is by far my favourite though! I don’t care if it’s a romantic horror movie, it’s amazing!!!

2. What’s your favourite non-scary movie to watch around Halloween?

Definitely The Witches. It’s freaky for a kids film but it’s a kids film so it isn’t THAT bad. 😛

3. Do you have any Halloween traditions?

Not really to be honest. I’ve never been one to hand out sweets to any kids who knock on my door, watch horror films religiously, or go out every year. I just do whatever I fancy doing. However now me and Dane are in the house we may begin a new tradition to stay in and watch horror movies we’ve never watched before, eat popcorn and give Haribo out to trick or treaters. 🙂

4. What are your plans for Halloween this year?

Just going to stay in and watch horror movies with Dane after work. Maybe cook pizza, have some ice cream and snuggle under our blanket. We have a tub of Haribo we’ll probably dig into too. We’ve already named some films we intend to watch over the weekend and on Monday.

5. What are you dressing up as this year?

I’m dressing up as someone who is shattered after a 4am start at work. So pajamas, fluffy booties, no bra, messy hair and a big fluffy blanket! Yeah I’m just going to chill out on Monday evening. 😛

6. What’s your first memory of Halloween?

I remember as a kid my mom taking me into a stationary shop as a kid and they sold bats that you could blow up and either hang up with a bit of string or just place wherever you fancy. I cuddled mine for some odd reason and I fell in love with it! Months later it got a hole it and broke. I was gutted! The next Halloween my mom bought me another one. From then on I’ve always loved bats, especially at Halloween.

7. What’s your favourite scary TV series?

Harper’s Island is one I used to love back in the day. It was out for one series which aired in 2009. That’s probably the only scary TV series I’ve ever watched though sadly. It’s a good one mind and if you haven’t watched it, I recommend it 100%!

So that was my partake in the Spooky Halloween Tag! It’s got me all excited for Halloween on Monday and I actually can’t wait to spend time with Dane before and after work watching horror movies and chilling out together under our blanket.

What are you planning to do on Halloween? Make sure to let me know in the comments down below! Also recommend me some scary horror movies for us to watch!

Until next time, take care all and I hope you’re well.
