Listen at your own risk: 5 dark and scary podcasts to get you in the Halloween mood
Ghost stories around the campfire and murder mysteries in the dark! That's what Halloween should be all about; being scared. Especially when you're an adult. There's not much I like more than a truly scary story. I've been reading horror since I was a kid, beginning with In a Dark Dark Room, then graduating to RL Stine's Goosebumps and Fear Street. I still love reading horror, but I don't often have time to indulge my lust for all things frightening. That's where podcasts come in!
I can listen to an episode of a podcast while I'm walking Hazel, house cleaning, taking a shower or snoozing my alarm clock. Podcasts make it easy to enjoy spooky stories- and no better time to enjoy them than spooky season. These are my top five scary podcasts about murder, horror, and things that go bump in the night. Listen if you dare!

Happy Halloween: My favourite past Halloween DIY projects
Happy Halloween everyone! This is my favorite holiday and usually go all out decorating and celebrating. This year will be a little different due to Covid-19, and due to the fact that I don't live in a house anymore, so I can't do my haunted walkway. I'll admit I'm a little sad about that. BUT I will still be watching Hocus Pocus and Trick R' Treat! Since the celebration this year won't be as spooky, here are some ghostly DIY Halloween projects, decor, and crafts I've done in the past. I hope I inspire you! Have a safe and happy Halloween!

Horror
movie night: Witch, satanic and cult collection
A cackle in the distance; a spell cast in the night. It's
no secret to anyone who knows me that I LOVE witches! I love everything about witches;
spell casting, demon raising and cultish covens. When I was a teen my friends and I were obsessed with The Craft. Grab your book of shadows and
get spooked by these satanic and spellbinding thrillers! This list contains
horror movies that are perfect for planning a creepy night of demons, witches
and exorcisms. Good or bad, these movies are made to entertain- whether your
laughing at how terrible they are or scream in horror.

movie night: Vampire and blood sucker collection
A bat swoops down from the sky as you feel cold fingers
wrap around your neck one by one. His seductive gaze draws you in and hypnotizes
you, and you don’t realize his long fangs are sinking deep into your neck. What
is Halloween without a spooky vampire movie! This is a list of old and new
vampire horror films to scare the fangs off of you! Good or bad, these films
are just what vampire horror movie lovers crave and are full of blood for the
drinking. So toss Twilight out the window and see vampires as they were meant

The neighborhood is
getting spookier as Halloween crawls closer and closer. Horrific decorations
adorn festive homes while they search for the best costume continues. Little do
pet parents know the candy and décor of Halloween could end up being dangerous
for household pets.
Veterinary Pet Insurance Co. (VPI) released its Top Halloween PetDangers and Safety Tips on Oct. 15 to help educate pet parents about how this
scary holiday could negatively affect their pet. VPI reports that in the United States alone
consumers spend $7 billion on Halloween candy, decorations, and costumes.
Unfortunately having all of these seemingly benign holiday objects in the home
means that consumers could be exposing their pets to toxic or hazardous things.
