Halloween is right around the corner. And, in the middle of midterm season, it can be a little hard to get *thrilled* for the spooky spectacular that is Oct. 31. Here are a few nostalgic things from your childhood that will send you right back to a time when Halloween was your life.
- Candy Corn
-
Whether you like it or not, candy corn is essential for any October mood.
- Pillsbury Halloween Take-n-Bake Cookies
-
These are essential for all the end of year holidays. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, you name it. If you don’t have these at least once in October, I don’t know how you are surviving.
- Party City
-
Nothing gets you into the Halloween atmosphere more than the store that vomits holiday all over you.
- Pumpkin Carving
-
From the most skilled of pumpkin-iers to the rookies, everyone can admit that a jack-o-lantern is a top priority for any decorated house or dorm.
- “Thriller”
-
Watch. The. Video. That’s it. It is the most sure fire way to send you spiraling into spooky sensations.
- “Hocus Pocus”
-
These last five are some of the best Halloween movies from your childhood. Starting off the bunch is the iconic Hocus Pocus.
- “The Nightmare Before Christmas”
-
This one counts for two holidays! We love multitasking.
- “Twitches”
-
If you haven’t seen “Twitches,” you need to remedy that ASAP. The secret to success is a “Twitches” sequel called “Twitches Too!” Watch them both for maximum enjoyment.
- “Halloweentown” (all of them)
-
They change actresses halfway through, and, somehow, kid me never noticed.
- “Corpse Bride” and “Coraline”
-
These two go together. If you have seen them, you know. You can’t separate them.
“‘Cause this is thriller!!!!”
