Good Morning Halloween Friends! Happy Friday to you all! It's hard to believe, but Halloween Eve was one week ago. And tomorrow will mark one full week since Halloween has passed. Is that sad? Yes, I think a little, but Christmas is getting going now, soon there will be Turkey Day, but the bigger thing than that to me, is that this entire first week post-Halloween has had real energy to it. I feel like the thread, at least so far in the very very early going here, is galvanized. So I have cautious optimism that we can keep that energy / momentum going as we continue to trudge towards the winter.

It's Friday, so today is the "Friday Folklore" portion of our thread.

Who would I like to share today? He's kind of a "local" thing in Point Pleasant, WV. Here is THE MOTHMAN !

He's pretty famous. He's been the subject of a 1975 Book by John Keel, and later the 2002 movie. There's even an annual festival in point pleasant devoted to him!


I hope everyone has a great Friday!
I've seen Mothman before! Very cool and creepy looking!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I always feel like this first portion of November is an interesting time for a Halloween fanatic. We still see Halloween stuff out in the stores but we know it's ending and yet Christmas Season is already approaching. I still love how "our" season of Fall/Halloween gets so much more time than other times of the year. By Mid-July we see it out already starting and by Mid-November it's finally put away. Happy Halloween!
 
I still saw a fairly good amount of houses still lit up with Halloween decorations while out this evening.

I did see one house decorated for Christmas and maybe two houses with trees in their window.

Good Morning Halloween Friends! It's hard to believe but Halloween was exactly ONE WEEK AGO. In the grand scheme of things, we've completed almost 2% of our journey back to Halloween.

Today is the Open Hearth / Casual Chat portion of our thread. What are our Saturday plans? I have to go and get groceries this morning, then later I am going to mow our back yard for what I think is the last time this season.

Big cooldown today as the weekend doesn't get out of the 50's. I hope everybody has a great day!

My plans today are to do some yard work, cleaning and relaxing as I recover from the flu. Almost 100% now...and it's still awesome to see Halloween decorations around!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I just got back from food shopping and this one store had full theme of Halloween stuff still. It's got Halloween stuff all year long though out. I appreciate them. And I appreciate SS because without him we couldn't keep Halloween alive all year long. Happy Halloween!
 
We had a fantabulous day. Slept in, went to a Christmas Craft Fair, out to eat, and did some shopping. Now I'm watching football. What a day!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! Happy Sunday to you all. I'm happy to post the counts this morning and post the graphic above. It's been over a week now since Halloween 2026 occurred. And this new thread turns one week old today. 47 weeks to go until October 1st, and 51 weeks until Halloween is back. If you ask me, I think the first week went by fast, and this thread started off with plenty of energy. It's even more mind boggling to me that this coming weekend, we will see the mid-point of November.

I'm also starting to borderline get obsessed with percentage figures when looking at all these countdowns as a whole, so I thought the idea of a "pie chart" might be fun to share from time to time, maybe on a milestone day, etc...

1794134644374.png

Our next milestone will be in exactly one week from today and it will be the celebration of 350 DAYS TO HALLOWEEN!, coming our way next Sunday!

Have a great day, Halloween Friends!

Not going to lie the pie chart makes me hungry...I love how we're still technically in Fall/Autumn yet at the same time looking forward to next Fall/Autumn/Halloween. You'd think we're obsessed (oh we are)!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! This first week since Halloween is in the books. I have been totally still into it. We are heading to a Halloween Escape Room in the city. Combining the fun of a city trip with a Halloween Activity. This is our 8th and final Sunday of our Fall/Halloween Activities. It has gone fast yet it does seem like we've done so much which is the point of us having extended it over the years as far as we can. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! It's Monday once again. And we are working on another milestone that will be here this weekend, that being 350 DAYS TO HALLOWEEN! There are 7 main counts right now, and just about half of them are north of 300 days. And that's the way it's going to be for the near future. I think we blasted through the first week post Halloween, and I'm curious to see what the energy will be for the rest of the year.

It's Monday, so today I offer up this movie backdrop:

1794224749655.png

This is a good one for this week, since we have a FRIDAY THE 13TH coming up this week! And i recently finished the outstanding "Crystal Lake" show on Peacock.

I'm off work a half day today because of a dentist appointment today. It should make the first half of the day go by fast.

I hope everyone has a great Monday!
 
Oh, man! This is awesome! I come back from vacation and there’s a brand new Halloween thread! I’m sorry I wasn’t around to close out 2026. We crossed Texas at a breakneck pace, so by the time I got to a hotel each night, I was exhausted.

I’m loving the new themes for each day too! You really pulled out all the stops for 2027!

Once we get closer to JOL Day #1, I’ll talk about my plans for 2027.

So excited! We are so back!
 
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the Fall Festival we attended on Halloween. We went to the Pumpkin Festival at the Western Belle Farm in West, TX. It was a lot of fun for the kids, and there were millions of pumpkins, but nothing definitively “Halloween” themed. In that regard it was a bit of a letdown, but they did have the classic Fall festival staples such as the hayride, apple cider and apple cider donuts, corn maze, apple cannons, and lots of other games and activities mostly suited for young kids. I would have loved to see at least one Halloween-themed attraction or at least a walking trail with some Halloween lights or something. Still, I had smiling children at the end of the day so I can’t complain too much.

Time to start planning where we’ll end up for next Halloween!

Hopefully Jason isn't your dentist!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I am back to 100% basically. And I'm back at work. Our Fall/Halloween Season concluded on Sunday. We were a little sad but the amazing thing is that we went right into planning the next 8 Sundays for "Christmas Season." Never a dull time. But you all know our Fall/Halloween Activities are sacred to us. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Pumpkin Friends! Happy Tuesday to you! I was off work yesterday half day for going to the dentist, and to be honest with you, I have no memory of anything. I have major dental anxiety, so the dentist puts me to sleep. I remember we had Chick Fil A dinner last night, as planned, but then nothing!

But I remember that it's Tuesday, which means it's our "Tuesday Twilight" portion of this thread. Today is all about Halloween / Fall / Spooky Aesthetic and pictures. This picture is the corner of our house! This photo was actually taken on Halloween morning this year! Folks, I can smell this picture. The cool air, the smell of leaves, and that lush green grass. When I think of peak October, this is a picture that stays in my head.

I would love to keep this picture all year long and look at it 365 days a year!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I see this one neighbor has their Halloween lights still on. And I love seeing that. I guess they are holding on to them like I'm holding on to them in my heart and soul. This has been the best Halloween Season ever. And I'm thankful for it. But the Christmas Season is coming. So that transition will come eventually. Happy Halloween!
