BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

Halloween!  It seems like every year it becomes more and more popular.  The candy.  The decorating.  The costumes.  It's so much fun for us to share in the celebration of the season.  Post in as much or as little detail as you'd like.  

 

And since this is being posted a little early, there are some bonus questions at the end for you to post on now, or once you're suffering from Halloween withdrawal come November 1st!

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

@itsfi Agreed!

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

@Samtian those are fun.  I especially love the purple set

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

@CorgiMommy Me too! I could see that looking good with a slightly dark blue too. 

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

These are so pretty, @Samtian !

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

@Titian06 I need them as press-ons lol. 

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

10/20: What Halloween nail art would you love to wear?  I'm working my way through the Maniology 2024 Halloween box, Box of Night.

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

@Titian06  how fun! I hope you are enjoying it!

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

Thanks, @caitbird !  So far so good! 😄

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

@Titian06 Ooh fun!

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

@Titian06 so cool

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

10/19. Sound off on Halloween kitsch. 

As long it isn't over done it can be fun.  Too much is tacky 

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

@CorgiMommy - I think that's what makes it tacky.  It's not the items, it's the "too much."

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

@Titian06 definitely 

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

10/19: Sound off on Halloween kitsch!  I have no idea what this is. I googled it and I'm still confused. 

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

@Samtian I didn't know either!

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

@Samtian - I had to Google it too.  It's still confusing.  It really depends on the item.  The examples I saw were from the 1940s and 50s.  I would call them "vintage," "collectable," or "antique," not kitsch. 🤔

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

@Titian06 That's what I saw too lol. I love love love vintage. But looking up the word kitsch seemed to be completely different. 

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

Yes, @Samtian , the dictionary definitions talked about art.  The Google images/examples showed knick knacks/decorations.

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

10/19: Sound off on Halloween kitsch!. The examples I found online are cute.  I like it better than the graphic "decorations" I see around my neighborhood. 

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

10/9: Best and worst Halloween textures?   I don't like slimy textures lol. I like the texture of the outside of pumpkins. 

10/10: Favorite size/shape/color of pumpkins? All of them!

10/11: What Halloween party game sounds like fun?  And which would you never play? I've never been to one, don't know what they do. 

10/12: Apothecary, tarot cards, crystals - they're so "in" right now.  What ethereal things do you enjoy?   I enjoy looking at crystals. Tarot card designs are fun for me to look at. 

10/13: What creeps you out? Things that go bump in the night. 

10/14: Black cats crossing your path - good luck or bad luck?  Do you have any superstitions? Anytime I see a cat is a good thing! Yeah I have a few superstitions. 

10/15: Post a Halloween-inspired meme.

halloween-meme11

10/16: What villains do you secretly root for? I root for a lot of anti-heros. Venom, Punisher, Loki. I can't think of any actual villains I root for. Unless you count the dinos in Jurassic Park. 

10/17: What Halloween scent would you love to be turned into a spray-able fragrance? Hmm I'd like a caramel apple or candy apple. I'm sure there is but I don't have any.

10/18: Fun Halloween Fact- By the 1500s, the Samhain festival began to include costumes and house-to-house visits. Young people impersonated the spirits, recited verses, and sang songs in exchange for food. Households obliged to receive good fortune.

Re: BIC's 2024 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

@Samtian  love the meme lol 🤣 that is an interesting fact, I didn't know that much about the history of Halloween!
