So we’re back to the most horrific time of the year, the Season of the Witch, and my favorite month. Halloween is just a month away (give or take a day), and I simply cannot wait!
Sure, I’m pre-diabetic, so I can’t enjoy the sweets like I used to, but I can sure as hell enjoy everything else about Halloween Time! Spooky stories, horror films, decorating the house, and finally handing out “poison apples*” to all of the little Boils and Ghouls on Halloween itself!
(*) By “poison apples” I mean red plastic apples that my wife and I fill with little toys. Since they can be choking hazards, we offer a different toy – usually something like a Halloween-themed rubber ducky – for the really little kids. Every child gets something fun, and we don’t have to worry about if they have a nut allergy or anything like that.
Anyway, I’m also going to try to bring some of that Halloween spirit to my creative endeavors this month, too. I’m planning Halloween-themed blog posts and articles here on this website, and if I’m still livestreaming on Twitch, I will likely be playing horror or horror-adjacent games. Even if I’m trying to play “Starfield” in the most horrific way I can (running around on worlds filled with alien horrors, and so forth), I’ll still be sharing the Halloween spirit.
It is just something I do every year.
That said, I may also be slowing down on content, taking a few days off here or there from streaming during October and early November, because I also take my big annual vacation centered right around Halloween. Just saying.
