These are a few of my favorite things- Halloween!

When the fall wind blows across the warm summer air,

and the leaves come alive as they dance in the cool breeze,

the landscape gently rolls from shades of green to oranges, reds, and pinks.

The smells of morning dew, chimney smoke and cinnamon are sweet to my soul.

There is a magic in the Autumn air that I can feel in the gentle rain, I can

sense in the setting sun, I can hear in the crunch beneath my shoes.

Fall is here and with it, Halloween, a fun and exciting time of the year and one of my favorites!

I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite Halloween movies that I try to enjoy each and every holiday. In no particular order, my Halloween shows:

Little Shop of Horrors. Why? The songs are awesome & Rick Moranis.
Harry Potter. Why? The first film is so Halloween it’s perfect.
It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Why? It’s a classic.
Something Wicked This Way Comes. Why? It scared the heck out of me when I was a kid.
E.T. Why? I loved the trick or treating scene.
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (cartoon). Why? It’s another classic.
Ghostbusters (Old One). Why? Rick Moranis again and its classic and funny.
Ghostbusters (New One). Why? Chris Hemsworth dancing in the credits.
Edward Scissorhands. Why-Vincent Price and Johnny Depp. Enough said.
Hocus Pocus. Why? That song.
The Nightmare Before Christmas. Why? The music and the creepy creatures.
Wallace & Gromit: the curse of the were-rabbit. Why? It is fun to listen to kids giggle and watch Wallace.
Frankenweenie. Why? I have a weenie dog.
Hotel Transylvania. Why? Adam Sandler as Dracula.
Monster House. Why? I could totally relate to the kids.
Goonies. Why? Sloth and Chunk
The Haunted Mansion. Why? Eddie Murphy and the graveyard song.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series. Why? It started a great show that I truly enjoyed!
Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Why? I know it’s not a Halloween movie but the boat ride always scared me.
Thriller the music video. Why? It’s Michael Jackson and if you haven’t seen it, watch it!

Have fun and Happy Fall and Halloween month!

I’m Linda Louise, one of the bloggers on this website and Colleen’s little sister. I’m just a girl in her mid-thirties who feels thirteen when I play outside with my boys, fifteen when I sing my heart out listening to tunes while driving by myself, and sixty five when I go out past ten at night. I have a thing for junior mints, Mt. Dew, shrimp and kale (though not all at once) and I have a crush on Superman. I still get girlish butterflies when I read Twilight, cry when I read These is My Words, and smile from ear to ear when I read Anne of Green Gables. I have nightmares about aliens on a regular basis and I have a bad habit of midnight snacking. I love everything sports, except golf (although can that honestly be considered a sport??), and I hate anything that slithers, hisses, or stings. I have a problem with giggling at inappropriate moments and I sometimes wish life was a musical. I love science, hate math, love Dr. Seuss, and hate olives. My family is my world and my joys come from their happiness. I’ve learned I don’t know much about anything and I live for a good adventure, naps, cuddles, stories, exceptional food and The Shire.
