My 2016 Halloween Bucket List

Halloween 2016 Bucket List: How do you make sure you have the MOST fun this Halloween season? By making a Halloween bucket list, of course. Here's the 16 things on mine. | spookylittlehalloween.com

All October posts are part of the Countdown to Halloween!

 

I can’t believe we’re already a full week into October. I’m already thinking, “No, you’re going too fast this year, Halloween! Slow down!” Tomorrow it will be just three weeks (GULP!) away from my annual party, and before we all know it another Halloween will have come and gone.

But we’re not focusing on that today.

No, instead we’re going to focus on all the FUN there is left to be had this October! Last year I created a Halloween Bucket List after getting inspired by The Spooky Vegan’s Autumn Bucket List (Sarah’s 2016 post is right here), and I enjoyed it so much I decided to post another one for 2016.

So here are all the fun things I still want to do before the clock strikes midnight on Halloween night.

 

Spooky Little Halloween’s 2016 Bucket List

  • Buy unique pumpkins for outside my apartment door
  • Go shopping for Halloweenies at craft shows with my mom
  • Bake at least one pumpkin treat I’ve never tried
  • Carve a jack-o-lantern because I never did last year and it’s my FAVORITE THING!
  • Finish building my top secret project for my party
  • Create my own Halloween wallpaper for my iPhone and computer because I can’t find any I like
  • Watch “Halloween” and “Trick ‘r Treat” becauseI’veneverseeneitheronethisiswhypleasedon’tjudgeme
  • Bake a Tim Burton-themed treat for Halloweenie Roast
  • And while we’re talking Tim Burton, hopefully check out this local art show
  • Listen to some spooky ghost stories from Noisy Spirit
  • Send Halloween cards to my best ghouls ????
  • Listen to Dead Air as much as humanly possible
  • Watch Halloween movies and ghost hunting specials on cable
  • Finish listening to my audiobook version of “The Book of Halloween” by Ruth Edna Kelley (I’ll have a review up next week)
  • Make a spooky book reading list
  • Try one new witches’ brew recipe for Halloween night

The ones with a ???? after them are items I’ve already done.

    We have similar taste in movies, and with that in mind, I can tell you to skip Halloween if you want. Trick ‘r Treat is pretty great, though. There are a whole lot of Halloweeniacs who are not slasher film fans!

      Thanks Cat! Sometimes I feel like such a weirdo because I don’t dig blood & guts when it comes to Halloween. Would love to hear any movie suggestions you have for me!

        Hmm…

        The Others, Sigmata, Poltergeist (the original), The Order (with Heath Ledger), just off the top of my head.

      Yes, I too am a fan of classic style Halloween. Think Disneyland’s “The Haunted Mansion” ride, there is no gore, simply brilliant suspenseful art.
