Halloween

The candy I most hoped for as a kid was Hershey Mounds (you know, chocolate and coconut)! What was yours? Answer the survey and we'll publish the results. HOPEFULLY that will inform your buying decisions this month as you stock up for the big night!

Today I learned there's a school district in London, Canada (half way between Detroit and Toronto) that banned Halloween and replaced it with "Orange & Black Day" -- not everyone is pleased with the compromise.

If you've been through TERROR BEHIND THE SCREEN you've probably noticed our cobwebs look really good. Most people's fake spiderwebs in the front yard or around their office cubicle look terrible. The reason is they're applying it wrong. Here's how to have realistic-looking cobwebs:

This excellent compilation of 10 scariest movies is 21 mins of just the trailers! It's almost like a mini-movie night in itself...except....THE ENDING....da da daaaaaaaaaa. We love a good scary movie night and there are several current ones in this video we haven't seen yet...

One week from today our haunted house TERROR BEHIND THE SCREEN opens! You can come through it any Thursday, Friday and Saturday in October for only $12! It's got zombies, aliens and killer clowns. What's your favorite character from a horror movie? Vote below!

One thing I miss about VHS was watching really old recordings off TV and those awesome 1980s commercials! Someone has compiled a montage of their favorite 1980s and 1990s Halloween-themed TV ads and it's SPOOKtastic!

If you love visiting Halloween stores as much as I do this time of year allow me to make some recommendations. Personally, I'm a huge fan of Let's Party.

For some Halloween fun I want to visit haunted places around the Mid Columbia. I'll turn my video camera on, stick it in my pocket and go "ghosthunter"! But first I need to know where to go. That's where you come in.
