List of some Scariest Movies

  • A timeless film like “Night of the Living Dead” or even “The Blob” is always a good choice. 
  • For a restless night, watch one of the “Halloween” movies starring Michael Myers. Maybe Jason from the “Friday the 13th” movies is more your style.
  • There is a limitless supply of scary movies to choose from. Stephen King is the king of horror, and he is the author of several fantastic films like “The Shining,” “Creepshow,” and “Silver Bullet.”

Why Do We Carve Jack-O-Lanterns on Halloween?

As October is on the doorstep, You might be heading to a local pumpkin patch very soon to choose the perfect pumpkin for your porch or walkway. You’ve probably been doing this for many years, buy and curve a Jack’s Pumpkin Pop-Up. But did it ever occur to you exactly WHY you do it? Here’s a little history about why we carve jack-o-lanterns.

History Of Pumpkin Curving

The actual carving of a gourd began over 700 years ago when the Maori used them for lanterns. This jack-o-lantern custom began in Ireland in the 19th century. People curved lighted gourds with horrific faces and used them to scare spirits away from their homes. Sometimes, they were used to frighten people as well. The festival of Samhain, AKA Halloween, was a very scary time for some, and they did what they could to feel safe. The souls of the dead were said to roam the earth at this time, and the lighted gourds were supposed to keep them at bay.

Present Of Pumpkin Curving

Today, most people head to a Halloween store to pick up all their Halloween decorations and costumes, and to search for pumpkins as well. There are plenty of local farmers’ markets and stores where you can choose the perfect pumpkin for your special jack-o-lantern. Some people prefer tall skinny ones to make a stretched face. Others would rather have a short, fat pumpkin to make a rounded character. There are those expert pumpkin carvers who make extremely intricate carvings, or who do “scrapings” instead, where they scrape the outside skin from the pumpkin and have the light glow through the pumpkin itself.

End Note

No matter what your preference is in this holiday tradition, you can find the perfect pumpkin to meet your needs. Add some gourds to your setting as well and make it extra spooky. And be sure to stop at the Glendale Halloween Store to find all your Halloween costumes and decorations. They have everything you need to get your house and yard in the Halloween spirit.

And you just might want to carve a few extra scary and funny pumpkins to set around your house. Just in case.

Glendale Trick or Treating Events

Trick or Treating Fun

Halloween is nearing and the excitement of trick-or-treating among children is growing. Just thinking of all those tasty treats can make the days go by so slow. But once your night of doorbell ringing is over, your wait will be well worth it.

First, head to a costume store near Glendale to find the perfect outfit for your Halloween activities. It’s usually easier for children to quickly run from door to door when they do not have a mask in the way that may block their view. Using make-up ensures that your child can safely see all around them to watch for cars, or to be sure they do not trip over things.

Once your little monster is ready to head out, be sure they have adult supervision before going to collect treats. Whether you live in a neighborhood where you can walk from house to house, or you need to drive them around, be sure you have eye contact with your kids at all times. I like to head to a Halloween store near me to find glowing items or safety reflectors to keep my kids lit up for everyone to see. The best way to judge which houses are accepting trick-or-treaters is to check for porch lights. If the light is on, chances are they are waiting with a delicious bowl of candy to give out! Some people may not have a porch light, so they may use a garage light or may want a dark scary theme to their doorway, so they may have other lighted decorations at the entrance way.

Make sure your kids either knock or ring a doorbell and be sure to have them yell “TRICK OR TREAT” as this is an exciting part for those giving out the treats. A “Happy Halloween” and “Thank You” are also nice afterward.

Once back home, the fun begins. After the adults have checked for opened candies or things that they are not sure about, you can have a candy store swap. This is my children’s favorite part. They dump out their treasure and set up shops. They then perform trades to assure that everything they have is something they will love to eat. If you are lucky, there are things nobody likes and Mom or Dad can “trick-or-treat” to their kids and get all their unwanted treats. Luckily for me, mine do not like coconut or whoppers! Stop by the Halloween Store in Glendale for all your needs.

Make sure you have a safe and tasty Halloween!

Get Ready to Dive Into the Spirit of the Season

We have passed the halfway point of the month as we continue to creep towards Halloween. Fall is in the air, and stores are full of Halloween excitement. I know plenty of Halloween costume stores near me are open and ready to help you plan your perfect Halloween event.

What helps you get into the spirit of the season? Is it the delicious smells of pumpkin pie and cookies? Perhaps the roasting of pumpkin seeds? Or simply the comforting scent of candles and wax melts that bring the season closer.

Plenty of scary sounds can be heard as well. If you decorate with animated Halloween props you will hear all kinds of spooky groans, screams and eerie wailing coming from your home or yard. Door-knocker type decorations are great for getting into the Halloween mood. Just push the button and you will hear creaky doors, haunting bell chimes, and ghastly laughs.

Shop For Your Every Need At Burbank Halloween Store

Everyone has their own special way of getting into the Halloween mood. My personal favorites are pumpkin smells from baking, and wax melts with fall scents like campfire or Autumn forest. But I think the best Halloween snack, besides the candy, of course, is freshly baked pumpkin seeds. If you have never done this, it is super easy. The results will be worth it. Especially if you have only ever tasted bagged, store-bought seeds. (yuck!)

First, you need a pumpkin. (you probably figured out that part already). Check your local pumpkin patch. Open your pumpkin up and scoop the guts out, which you will probably do to make a jack-o-lantern anyway. The hard part is pulling all of the seeds out of the guts. It can be time-consuming, but the end result is worth it. I promise! Be sure to get them all. You will thank yourself later.

Lightly rinse the seeds, (a colander helps) leaving some of the pumpkins on them for extra flavor. Place in a bowl with melted butter and toss till coated. Spread seeds on a baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt or regular salt to your taste. Bake in a 350 oven for about 20 minutes or so. Check them for browning and crisping, and you can toss them around once or twice during baking. Once browned and crisp, remove and let cool. Dig in and enjoy this delightfully crisp, healthy snack.
