Family Friendly Halloween Movie List!! Halloween Series: Part 4

So this is for after the trick or treating when you and the kiddies settle in with their newly acquire loot of candy and are ready for some good old fashioned family fun movie time.

1. Casper (1995)- This is probably one of my favorite movies from childhood, I had such a crush on the "real boy" version of Casper



2. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)- This is probably a classic from when you were a child too, so its great to be able to share this with your kids.



3. Hocus Pocus (1993)- I make a point to watch this movie once a year at this time so, it's clearly a great flick.



4. Little Vampire(2000)-I think the kids in this movie are just too cute, pluegreat message about overcoming fears and the like.



5. Nightmare Before Christmas(1993)- This one is from my childhood, I was probably like 5 when I first saw it. That said, it scared the crap out of me so wait for this one til the kids are alittle older.



6. Corpse Bride(2005)- I think this is sooo cute, it falls in the same category as Nightmare Before Christmas though, so better for kids alittle bit older.

That's my list for you! By the end of it, it's time for the kiddies to hit the sack and for you to pick up the mess of candy wrappers and costumes. Stay tuned for more super Halloween fun!1

Halloween playlist!! Part 2 of the Halloween series

This whole list can be listen to on playlist.com, just follow This link. But this is a great list to play in the background at a Halloween party or while getting ready for trick or treating!!

1. It's Almost Halloween- Panic at the Disco(kinda campy and hokey but thats one of the major fun parts of Halloween!)
   


2. This is Halloween- Marilyn Manson (great redo of the classic song from Nightmare before Christmas and so cool as a metal song.)
   


3. Thriller- Micheal Jackson (SO much fun to dance to, watch the video for dance moves!!)



4. Werewolves of London- Warren Zevon ( My mom told me about this song, I was unsure at first but the howling during the chorus is soo much fun to sing with that its sure to be a favorite with your kids..or should i say pups ??)



5. Somebody's Watching Me-Rockwell (This is a song that gets stuck in my head and for the most annoying reason, My bf's grandparents have one of those motion activated cats that sings this song!!)
   


6. The Time Warp!!!!!- From Rocky Horror Picture Show ( I LOVE THIS SONG!!! The video shows how to do the dance,though the song also tells you how, forgive the subtitles on the vid.)



7. The Moster Mash- Bobby Boris Pickett (Classic song, had to listen to it a couple times to get into it but I did eventually.



8. Supersition- Stevie Wonder (Nice funky beat, loverly to listen to all year round but the title works so perfectly for this)



9. Strange and Beautiful- Aqualung ( I don't quite know why, but for some reason this song reminds me of witches...hmmm.)



10. Creep- Radiohead (It has the perfect blend of oddity and well creepi-ness that is perfect for Halloween



11. Bodies- Drowning Pool (Kind of a morbid song but most certainly an interestingly upbeat morbid song.)



12. You Spin Me Right Round- Billy Idol (Not really creepy or Halloween-y by any means but for some reason the chorus reminds me of that one scene in The Exorsist, you know the one I'm talking about.)



13. Don't Fear the Reaper- Blue Oyster Cult (MORE COWBELLL!!!!!!! No but seriously this song's title says it all)



14. This is Halloween- Panic at the Disco (Yes, this is the same song as number 2 but the way that this band interpreted it is very differnet from the other version.

That's my list of my favorite Halloween songs, hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more of the Halloween posts.

Halloween 2011 part 1

So tonight marks the first official event of halloween has taken place!! My older brother Joe had a Halloween party to go to last night. He need help to make his zombie costume, so he asked me. I had soooo much fun doing his makeup, and we got some great remarks on it, like, "Gross!" or "Nasty" or my personal favorite, "That's disgusting....Great job!" Here's the final pics:

A couple full face shots

The reopened gash on his cheek complete with homemade maggot

Neck gash once again maggoty goodness
