This Week: Do You Watch Anything Special on Halloween?

What is everyone watching this week? Do you watch anything special on Halloween? I used to watch the Buffy Halloween episodes around this time of year, since I'm not a horror movie fan.

Halloween (1978)

“Black cats and goblins and broomsticks and ghosts. Pumpkins of witches are there to roast. You may think they scare me, you're probably right. Black cats and goblins on Halloween night. Trick or treat!”

The one. The only. The classic.

Happy Halloween, all! Time once again for my family to engage in our weird, pumpkin-centric form of fan art. This year we went for six designs, all inspired by pop culture favorites. Enjoy!

Jess's Jack-O'-Lanterns: 2014

Happy Halloween weekend, all! It’s that wonderful time of year when my family expresses its artistic and geeky sides through the bizarre medium of pumpkins. Woot! We’ve been feeding the offspring a steady diet of All Things Nerd this year, which paid dividends when it came time to choose designs for the 2014 pumpkin collection. Enjoy!

If you've read my 'About Me' blurb, you know I love writing, cooking, and watching television. But another favorite creative outlet is carving pumpkins for Halloween! The hubby and I really get into it, and can easily spend hours designing and carving in the days leading up to All Hallows' Eve. Over the last couple years, we've been improving our techniques and tools, and though we'll never reach the heights of the professionals, we've produced some jack-o'-lanterns that we are very proud to show off to the neighborhood. Enjoy!

It's the Great Pumpkin, Billie Doux

I love Halloween, and not just for the candy. When I was little, I had an audio tape of Halloween songs that I played over and over again, because many of them were really rather wonderful. Every year I think of those songs, and how they connect me to this unfortunately increasingly commercial holiday. Still, it is a holiday rooted in childhood, horror, and things that scare the bejesus out of you. This year we've compiled the thoughts of some of our writers in order to celebrate this spooky time of year. So without further ado...
