r/halloween

I am going to be celebrating Halfway-to Halloween this year!!!

I already have several movies lined up for the big day.

1. Friday the 13th part 2

2. A Nightmare on Elm Street

3. Halloween (78)

4. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

5. Hocus Pocus

6. Trick r' Treat

I'm also going to have a pumpkin pail full of candy, and plenty of popcorn for my movie marathon.

So is anyone else celebrating!!!

Every year I throw a big Halloween party that progressively has gotten bigger and more extravagant, thus expectations continue to grow as well! That said this year I have a semi formed vision: 60s psychedelia + undersea. Making my online invite sets a tone and theme that ppl will hopefully understand, so I’m between “Swingin 60s in the Bermuda Triangle” or just “Swingin 60s Underwater”. Bermuda Triangle can be open ended with anything from mermaids to aliens to ghost ship passengers, plus 60s mod (think like Austin powers) mostly for music vs just underwater which is pretty straight forward plus 60s Austin power’s vibe. What would be more exciting and inspiring? Also any ideas for decor would be welcome!

For reference, past themes were:

“Dustbowl Carnival”: literally made a carnival game row in the back yard out of lots of pallets, a fortune teller tent with lounge inside and palm/tarot reader, and tented the ceiling inside the house with red and gold fabric to look like your in the big top.

“Disco in Hades” 70s disco meets mythological pantheons. So inside was decorated like hades with blue flames (shiny fabric + fans + blue upward lighting) tons of disco balls hanging, themed cocktails, and a graveyard with shades and specters made from 11foot tall starched fabric- spray painted in uv paint and black lights, in the backyard. Plus a plethora of very cool god and goddess costumes!

“Eat the Rich” French rococo meets cannibalism, also had a class war feel with fops, dandies, vampires, Marie Antoinette costumes vs vagabond hobos, mutated canibals, and barbarians. Tented the ceiling with red velvet, a huge gold frame with landscape behind it for legacy portrait style photo ops, chandeliers, candelabras, a cocktail fountain that looked like blood, an the back yard was decorated like carnage with heads on spikes, a certain political figure tied to a stake that was later burned, French dice games, and other games like “snakes in the grass” and “empty promises” (Il give details if asked lol).

me daba curiosidad,se acerca el 22 de junio,yo ya hice mi lista de cosas para hacer ese día,pero me da curiosidad saber si alguien más lo celebrará y como?

I am thinking about this years halloween and am trying to find some new movies to watch that month. I know pretty much all the main horror movies people watch for halloween but am trying to find more.
