I love Halloween. It is one of my all time favorite holiday's and has been since I was little. There's just something about dressing up, giving our candy and watching scary movies that makes me giddy. When I was younger one of my best friends and I even used to have black and red parties for Halloween and Friday the 13th. Themed parties are so the best.
Anyway, in honor of this hop and the upcoming holiday, enter the giveaway below and win one spooky book of your choice up to $12. And sound off below letting me know if you have any Halloween traditions of your own!
The best memory I have of Halloween when I was a child is every year when we would get home from trick-or-treat we would sit in the floor still in our costumes, then Mom would turn the TV to the Peanut's "The Great Pumpkin. We would sit there on the floor with all our candy dumped in from of us and watch it.
ReplyDeleteAw, that's such a sweet memory! :)
DeleteJust the basics! All the Halloween parties at school...the parade at school! The trick or treating!
ReplyDeleteI always loved the Halloween parties too! :)
DeleteTrick or treating is always my favorite memories. <3 Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteSo true! I absolutely miss trick or treating! :)
DeleteWhen my sister and I were little out parents would take us to the movies after we went trick or treating.
ReplyDeleteAw, that seems like a nice thing to do! :)
DeleteMy favorite Halloween memory is actually the year I became 'too old'. I invited several friends over and we watched all of the Harry Potter movies that were released at that point.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! :)

DeleteThe halloween party my dad threw together in an hour after I invited my 4th grade class and forgot to tell my parents!
ReplyDeleteHaha that's sweet! What an awesome Dad! :)
DeleteMy favorite Halloween memory is dressing up in this insanely thick Rainbow Bright costume on the warmest Halloween western PA ever saw. I ended up taking most of it off along the way, but I'll never forget it!!
ReplyDeleteHahah OMG Rainbow Bright! That's so funny I love it! :D
DeleteWe don't celebrate Halloween here, so for me it's al about the books that come out.
ReplyDeleteAw, that stinks. Halloween is definitely one of my favorite holidays! ;)
DeleteMy favorite Halloween memories are of going to my Grandma and Grandpa's house after Trick-or-Treating. We would sort through the candy and I'd give all of the Three Musketeers candy bars to my grandfather since they are his favorite.
ReplyDeleteThis was before the town made everyone stop to have the candy checked by the police to make sure it was safe. Before, it was more laid back and less scary to have my parents go through the candy instead of having police officers checking all of the candy, where they would throw anything suspicious (anything homemade or candy with holes in the wrappers) away.
Thank you so much for having the giveaway! I'd love the chance to win, so fingers crossed. :-)
Wow, I didn't even known places did that with the candy. That's crazy. But the memory with your grandparents sounds so sweet!:)
DeleteSitting in my living room with my friends after we'd gone trick or treating and trading the candy :)
ReplyDeleteHaha the candy trade is always awesome! :)
DeleteI don't have,we don't celebrate Halloween in our country.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway :)
Aw, what a shame. :/ Halloween is awesome. But at least you get to enjoy great books! :)
DeleteMy favorite Halloween memory is when my dad surprised me with a vacation to Salem, MA for the big party. I got to meet the actor who played Michael Myers, and went to a Dumb Dinner. It was awesome.
ReplyDeleteOMG that is awesome! What an amazing Dad! That sounds like the best gift ever! Salem is so fun! :)
DeleteMy favorite is my parents taking me trick or treating when I was little.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
That sounds nice! Trick or Treating is awesome, you're welcome and thanks for stopping by!:)
DeleteGoing to the party at church. The games were fantastic.
ReplyDeleteNice! :)
DeleteThe horror movies!

DeleteI think the favorite memory from when I was a child was just getting to dress up
ReplyDeleteGetting dressed up is always fun! :)
DeleteDressing up like Minnie Mouse when I was little. To this day, still one of my favorite outfits.
ReplyDeleteHaha awesome! :)
DeleteMy favorite Halloween memory is from when I was little (obviously). I had cousins that lived in the next town over and their town was having candy night on a different night than my town. So my brother and I went with trick or treating with our cousins in BOTH towns that year and had to have gotten a million pieces of candy. Best Halloween ever
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome! Haha gotta love trick or treating in more than one place! :)
DeleteMy favorite memory is of having candy to eat for a long time after Halloween.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like that too. Candy mmm! Haha :)
DeleteGoing to my first Halloween party with my friends in High School
ReplyDeleteAw, that's a nice memory! :)
DeleteI gothed up a bit, corset tank top, long lace skirt, pale face with bright lipstick. The party I went to wasn't fun, but I walked around campus afterwards with a guy I was seeing, laughing at him kicking a soccerball the entire time
ReplyDeleteHaha nice! That sounds really sweet. :)
DeleteI loved running around in crazy costumes with my roommates during college.

Making popcorn balls with my mom and watching Halloween movies.
ReplyDeleteA Halloween class party I cohosted with a bunch of my classmates when I was 14. We decorated the house with scary and creepy props and dressed ourselves up. The guests had to go through the "horror house" before we started the party.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Halloween memory is the year my friends and I decided to dress up as kids from the future. We decked ourselves out with tinfoil wrapped around our bodies on top of leggings and t-shirts, and put tights on our heads and ran wires up and down our bodies. Weird stuff. We thought we looked TOTALLY AWESOME in that way only a 12-year-old can think something is awesome. No one had a clue what we were, but clearly we had put some effort into our costumes, so we got a lot of candy. Plus, I still think the costumes were awesome.
ReplyDeleteI guess maybe last Halloween when I got to see my very first niece dressed up for her very first Halloween!
ReplyDeleteI loved the Halloween I spent at home with my family watching (silly) scary movies. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little, I always thought it was awesome when I seen people bobbing for apples on TV. I grew up in New Orleans and had never actually seen it before until one year I went to visit family in Indiana and we went to a fair and they had a bobbing station. I was so thrilled, lol.
ReplyDeleteWe don't really celebrate Halloween in my country so I don't really have any memories. Sounds a lot of fun though. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeletedressing up as a pretty gypsy fortuneteller (I was probably 8). I loved when my mom would put pretty makeup on me. :D
ReplyDeleteGoinf tricking treating with my cousins and my aunt...we had so much fun going to the mall and around the neighborhood
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Halloween memory is taking my niece trick or treating. I looked forward to it every year.

My children dressing up when they were little.
ReplyDeleteThere was a blizzard just before Halloween in 1991. My grandpa had cleared a path to the car, and the snow drifts were taller than I was at the time. No, I didn't go door to door—my mom took me to the local mall, where I went store to store...although we arrived a little later, so some stores were already out. Ended up being a boon for me, though, because at a shoe shop, the guy thought I didn't have very much, and since I was such a sweet, li'l mermaid that year, he dumped the rest of his bowl into my bag! My five-year-old eyes bugged out of my head!
ReplyDeleteMy brother and I used to go trick-or-treating with the boys across the hall. We'd leave right at the starting time but would stay out an hour or so past the end. As soon as we got back, it was swap time.
ReplyDeleteNow, hubby and I search for costumes for our daughter and take her to community Halloween events. She's going as a firefighter this year. A couple years ago, she was a princess. I know -- quite a range but it's a pretty spontaneous decision. The princess costume was like-new and given to us by a neighbor. The firefighter costume was found at the thrift store along with the hat. It fit her perfectly. If we didn't find anything, I was going to have her go as an ethnic Rapunzel. Her hair is already long and I have a long floral dress she could wear.
Thanks :)
