I started watching horror movies in Grade 7, giving myself quite a scare with my first run at The Ring (the original Japanese version, which I think is way better than the remake). Needless to say, I steered clear of the horror genre for a good few years after that. During Grade 9 however,…
Is it just me, or does it get harder and harder every year to find something to dress up as for Halloween? Sure, you could go as something generic, or you dress up as a character from your favourite TV show and risk no one recognizing who you are suppose to be. That was the…
Halloween is filled with times nobody can forget, full of scares, screams, and sugar-rushes, a time to put on a mask and a hood and become someone entirely different. Halloween is the one evening of the year that nobody can really explain, or ever match the festive spirit it brings. We’re often so wrapped up…
Think back to Halloweens past. Chances are the costumes that stick out in your mind are the homemade ones. Whether or not they look perfect, the costumes that tend to get the most attention are the ones that people put some thought and effort into. Everyone loves a creative costume that makes them think, “I…
Bats everywhere! Their arrival into the month of October has begun the Halloween festivities. A week ago, I decided to make some Halloween decorations for my room, because why not? I figured it there was any time to spookify my room it would be now. I’ll walk you through what I did. Don’t worry, this…
One of my favourite things to do in October is have a horror movie marathon. I love these kinds of movies and can recommend some pretty good ones for you to enjoy as well. Horror movies encompass a wide variety of things. For most people, the first things that pop into their heads would be intense murder scenes,…
With the chilling array of badly produced horror films out nowadays, here is my personal list of horror films that will surely give you a scare. 1. Identity: This is my all time favourite horror film. The movie embeds a flabbergasting plot twist. Identity is more than the simple tale that people may initially perceive…
It is inevitable that you are going to get scared, particularly in this month of all months. October will surely have you trembling. Whether you stumble upon a horror film on television or you scream because you are walking down the hallway to see a rubber hand oozing with blood coming out of someone’s locker…
Halloween is by far my favourite holiday, and if you’re anything like me, I’m sure you’re dying for it to come faster. But if you’re anything thing like me, you also aren’t a big fan of horror films. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find good Halloween movies that aren’t scary but aren’t made for little kids.…
Chalking hair is a great way to temporarily dye hair. It doesn’t take much time to chalk hair, and it’s easy to do. For those of us who prefer to change styles frequently, chalking is perfect as it isn’t permanent. Additionally, chalking hair is cheap and doesn’t damage your hair, so don’t worry! You can…
What to do with leftover Halloween pumpkins It’s the beginning of November and Halloween is officially over. Drooping jack-o-lanterns smirk from under piles of snow upon neighbouring doorsteps, before the $10-$15 dollars spent on that pumpkin is chucked into the compost. But wait, isn’t pumpkin used in all sorts of baking? Who doesn’t like pumpkin…
Collecting food bank items instead of candy A couple weeks ago, I wrote this post about alternative ways for teenagers to spend Halloween. So what did I end up doing on Halloween? Nothing even close to what I included in that blog post. Except maybe the concept of spreading happiness. Why? I scared hunger. I…
It’s been almost a week since Halloween, and most of the good candy from your stash is almost gone, leaving misfit pieces of marshmallow ghosts and other undesirables. Now, the most common solution to the leftover candy dilemma is just to throw it out, but there were way better solutions than to just trash those…
