BIC's 2023 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

Last year I started this late, so I figured that this year I'd start early!  Feel free to post about all things fall, Halloween, beauty and everything in between.  Answer as many or as few prompts as you'd like, and know that you're encouraged to add your own ideas as well!

 

This officially starts October 1.  But if you just can't wait then, here are some prompts: Ideas to kick off fall?  Any superstitions?  Favorite things about pumpkins?  Mars or Hershey's brand candy?  Ways to keep your spirits up as the season changes?  Creepy things that you enjoy?  Halloween  nail ideas?  What colors compliment orange and black?  How have you noticed Halloween changing over time?  Any cocktails or mock-tails that sound interesting?  Favorite sounds of the season?  Are you into the Hocus-Pocus movie mania?  Best baked goods?

October 26: Do you prefer tricks or treats?  Definitely treats! 🍫🍬🍭

Re: BIC's 2023 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

Oct 26- I prefer treats over tricks. I always pray that nobody will do damage to my property on mischief night. I don’t mind toilet papering but applying soap to my windows is a different matter.

Re: BIC's 2023 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

October 24: What stores had the best Halloween displays or merchandise?  Has anyone in your neighborhood done anything special...or tasteless?!

 

I haven't seen too many Halloween displays at stores this year. In our neighborhood, there are several decorated houses but nothing tasteless, all just spooky fun.

A few years ago someone gave my kids a pumpkin. It was too early to carve it, so I turned it into pumpkin risotto. It turned out really great!

Oct 25- I used to enjoy going to IHOP for pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin flavored coffee but I’m attempting to lose more weight.

Re: BIC's 2023 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

@Loretta55 IHOP is a dangerous place. Good for you for being strong!

Re: BIC's 2023 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

Love pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and a new favorite homecade  pumpkin spice cake donuts.

Re: BIC's 2023 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

October 24:  best store displays and neighborhood decorations

 

Cannot really talk about store displays but there is a neighborhood across from me where they go all out for Halloween beyond pumpkins, skeletons, etc.  There are graveyards every where, ghosts flying out of windows, inflatables, and spider webs and creepy spiders.  It rivals the Winter holiday decorations.

Re: BIC's 2023 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

Oct 24- A doctor that lives one town away does an awesome Halloween themed decorations . When my son was younger a makeup artist used to do the best Halloween decorations. Rumor was that he worked on SNL.

Re: BIC's 2023 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

I'd have to agree with @JoSometimes BBW does it so well

 

I don't live in a neighborhood but I do decorate outside for my kids

Re: BIC's 2023 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

October 24: What stores had the best Halloween displays or merchandise?

 

I haven’t been inside the mall in the past week but from what I can remember Bath and Bodyworks has some pretty good displays up.

 

Has anyone in your neighborhood done anything special...or tasteless?!

 

I have a new neighbour who just moved in. They went all out with skeletons and lights. They have a pair of skeletons having a picnic in the middle of the lawn. It throws me off every time I leave the house and I want to wave good morning. 

Re: BIC's 2023 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

23rd: the spice ones. 🕯

 

Oct 24th: best display/merchandise? McDonald's for their Halloween McFlurry & all the pumpkin spice treats 🎃 

 

  25th: not sure; Maybe McDonald's PSL

 

Re: BIC's 2023 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

October 23:  what candles are good this time of year? 

 

I love the ginger scented candles and anything with sweater in its name (sounds cozy to me)

Re: BIC's 2023 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

October 23: What candles are good this time of year?  I love gourmand scented candles this time of year. Also "spice" candles. I'm not a fan of tree scents, but I do love Cedar. Also bring on the figs! VOLUSPA Forbidden Fig Decorative Tin Candle 12 oz/ 340 g is very good. Apples are yummy this time of year as well. Pumpkin of course.
