Ooooooo socks!

I’ve had this footage of some 1992 Avon Boo ghost glasses in my phone for 10 years. Just gonna leave it here…

This guy has definitely gotten sassier since I saw him at Lowe’s a couple years ago… #HalloweenSpotted

Appreciation post: Thank you Peacock for using the Halloween II (1981) original poster art instead of some of the awful other art that’s been floating around for years. #HalloweenMovies

Posting this just because of the date…

OFFICIAL POSTER - Hereditary star Milly Shapiro celebrates a post apocalyptic Halloween in HALLOWARRIOR. Premieres October 16 on Shudder. Pumpkin thinks she’s the last person alive. But when vicious scavengers show up, she has no choice but to tap into her survival instincts.

The Simpsons has joined forces with Jack in the Box for a Treehouse of Horror-inspired menu, available NOW! Featuring Krusty-inspired burgers, six special glow-in-the-dark collectible cups, custom packaging and the Munchie Meal of Horror. Full details: bloody-disgusting.com/the-further/...

“…Halloween season is in full swing; if you're lucky enough to live in certain regions, leaves are about to change color; & the horror releases & special editions & fun merch are all about to ramp the hell up. It's the best time of the year; savor it.” - @fangoria.bsky.social, EIC Phil Nobile Jr.

I love this time of year, when everything starts getting spooky.These candy boxes for example, could easily just be ‘a box.’ But instead, we get a line of ghosts peeking out. Love it. 🎃👻

Thank you, Tim.

Halloween season begins on this, the day we commemorate a group of kids knocking on a stranger’s door and meeting the ultimate trick-or-treater

"But someday, when Shao Kahn's dead and Outworld's been defeated, you're going to have to tell all your little @spirithalloween monster grandbabies that you had the chance to fight the great Liu Kang, but you were too much of a coward." - Johnny Cage, Mortal Kombat II (2026) #HalloweenSpotted

I’m loving the Hershey’s cartoon monsters that adorn their big candy bags this year. But I’ve got a sweet spot (no pun intended) for this guy. He’s like a Werewolf via Hanna-Barbera. Cousin of Muttley.

I see you random house in Lafayette, CO. 🎃 #HalloweenSpotted

“We haven’t talked about our show [Parks & Rec]. I mean, where do we even start? …People totally like it… And the fact that there’s still people are still dressing up for Ron Swanson at Halloween and people said that you got us through the pandemic…” - Good Hang with Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman

#HalloweenSpotted - Cox internet "Price lock guarantee" ad: "Get the same price for 5 years... that's 5 Halloweens [awoooo wolf howl sfx]..." (Not an endorsement of Cox or an ad, but #HalloweenSpotted in a subscription ad I've heard WAY too many times.)

I’d like to declare the VERY candy corn-like Torch Lily as the official flower of Halloween. (The pointed shape, & the colors are even in the same order as candy corn!)

Re: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s last show: “I think they're going to start tearing [the set] out immediately.” “And this is going to be a ‘Steven Halloween’? This building?” “It's a Spirit Halloween where the airplanes dress up like other airlines.” - Strike Force Five podcast

I see what you did there Lowe’s. And I like it.

“You're nothing but a Halloween costume.” - Ben Richards, The Running Man #HalloweenSpotted

Drew Struzan's original art for the movie "Tales of Halloween" just went on sale for only $10k (in the words of MAD magazine: "Super Cheap"). A deep cut in the master's canon of work & a great gift. For me. 🎃 #HalloweenGiftIdea #BuyMeThis galacticgallery.com/drew-struzan...

“…Those airplane bottles, they’re adorable, right? It looks like Jack Daniels had a litter, right? Like how could having 10 of these get me in trouble? They're fun size. That's why I pass them out at Halloween… Only ONE.” - Jim Gaffigan, The Bourbon Set #HalloweenSpotted youtu.be/pHzyxWkHWKM?...

#HalloweenSpotted …question mark??? Stranger Things: Tales from ‘85 teaser. youtu.be/fUiJulYbUaE?... (That is definitely a pumpkin monster and a pumpkin patch so maybe Halloween…?) @strangerthings.bsky.social

#HalloweenSpotted On @austinkleon.bsky.social’s “100 Things That Made My Year” coming in at #78, was Halloween: “Carving pumpkins. Sending the 13-year-old off into the Halloween night to trick or treat with his friends from school.”
