As a Kid During Halloween

Hello, my spooky friends!

    Let's summon the spirits of Halloween past. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Feel the chill in the air as we slip back in time...

Remember those days when the world was simpler, filled with sugar highs and the thrill of the unknown? Let's revisit our childhood Halloweens, a time when ghosts were real, goblins lurked in the shadows, and the promise of candy fueled our every step.

Share your spookiest memories in the comments below, or weave them into a spine-chilling tale on your own blog. Let's tap into that childhood magic and make this Halloween one to remember.

 

Favorite costume ~ Most Halloweens, I was a witch. My mom was always coming up with new and terrifying ways to transform me. One year, she ground up oatmeal and mixed it with green food coloring to create a gruesome, wart-covered mask that she plastered all over my face. I loved the way it made me look. My mom also braided my hair into a tangled mess, which I would unravel just before trick-or-treating, leaving me with wild, witchy locks.

 

 Favorite Halloween candy ~ I had two. I relished the sugary straws that were nothing but pure sweetness and the waxy lips, especially the ones with that strange, almost forbidden flavor. Anything wax with a taste was a treat for me.

 

 Favorite Halloween special on T.V. ~ The Bugs Bunny Halloween Special was my all-time favorite cartoon. The witch, with her cackling laughter and eerie glow, was the highlight. I loved how she’d sing, her voice echoing through the haunted house, “A cup of tea, a cookie, and yoo-hoo.” There was something so unsettling yet captivating about the way she delivered that line. Of course, it had to be a witch. Halloween just wouldn’t be the same without a touch of dark magic and spooky enchantment.

 

Favorite Spooky Movie ~  My top pick for a terrifying cinematic experience is undoubtedly Halloween. It's a classic for a reason: the suspense, the iconic killer, and the eerie atmosphere are unparalleled. Now, if we're talking about a Halloween-themed movie that's a bit more whimsical, I'd have to go with Practical Magic. I know, I know, it's not strictly horror, but there's something undeniably spooky about witches, especially when they're played by Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. Plus, the film's blend of magic, mystery, and family drama is both captivating and chilling.

 

Favorite Halloween Memory ~ Growing up in a small city community, Halloween was a major event. Everyone looked forward to the annual costume contest, where neighbors would gather to show off their creativity. Though I never took home a prize, parading through the streets with my friends was always a blast. The festivities also included classic games like bobbing for apples, adding to the fun and excitement of the holiday.

May this season be filled with haunted houses, pumpkin patches, and plenty of spooky surprises.
