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!!!

Still catching up, so here is another chunk of prompts (I'll post the rest tomorrow!):

10/15: Post a Halloween-inspired meme.

I Googled "Halloween meme cat" and this is what came up:

trying to be social when you're an introvert loltrying to be social when you're an introvert lol

 

10/16: What villains do you secretly root for? I definitely have a soft spot for anti-heroes, but I am not one to root for evil characters really.

 

10/17: What Halloween scent would you love to be turned into a spray-able fragrance? Hmm, I love pumpkin, apple, and other gourmand scents, but I think I prefer them as candles, rather than perfumes I would wear.

 

10/18: Post your own prompt. What songs are on your (real or hypothetical) Halloween playlist? Mine includes:

This Is Halloween - from The Nightmare Before Christmas

I Put a Spell On You by Bette Midler - from Hocus Pocus

Strange Love by Karen O - from Frankenweenie

Season of the Witch by Lana del Rey

 

10/19: Sound off on Halloween kitsch! Idk, for me I think it really depends on the specific thing. I would say I'm not that much of a fan of kitsch overall, but there are definitely exceptions.

 

10/20: What Halloween nail art would you love to wear? I just got these from Olive & June - planning to put them on tonight!20241030_074507_capture-01.jpeg

Aren't they cute? 

 

10/21: Gothic style: yay or nay? Gothic, yes, goth, not so much.

 

10/22: What do you think Halloween will look like in the future?  Hmm, you know, I really have no idea! I feel like I'm not very good at predicting the future, lol. I guess "trunk or treating" is the new (or at least new-ish to me) thing a lot of towns are doing now. And who knows, maybe someday people will trick or treat with an app or something 🤣

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

Oh those curious black cats are so cute! That's such a cool nail set! @caitbird 😻 I agree, yes please share them. 🧡

10/30: Best mischievous thing to do for Halloween.  Oh scare people definitely! It brings me great joy. Especially my elders who always say I'm going to give them a heart attack and they are going to come back and haunt me the rest of my life. ( I have not caused any heart attacks yet). I do like to let them know someone has to keep them on their toes and give their hearts a lil jump start.

10/30: Best mischievous thing to do for Halloween.  I'm too much of a goody two shoes to do anything mischievous. 🤣 

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

Your the sweetest! But if you were to maybe do something.. hypothetically of course.. what do you think it could be? @Titian06 

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

@CynthieLu - Giving out toothbrushes instead of candy??? 😁🪥  Of course then I would feel obligated to include sample size toothpaste too! 🫧
