Can you feel it in the air? Can you dig it? It's October, y'all! Wait, scratch that- it's SHOCKTOBER! Time to buy your fake eyeballs at the grocery store, time for the crunch of leaves and the rustle of cellophane on the boxes of Ben Cooper costumes.
Okay, so I live on the lower left coast, where the leaves don't change until January (if they change at all)...and Ben Cooper costumes are a thing of the way way past. Just let me have my Halloween-time delusions, won't you? It's the most wonderful time of the year!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, Stace.
ReplyDeleteYay I'm so fucking psyched! I'm so psyched I'm being vulgar! Fucking vulgar, even! But this is the bestest month ever.
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd come up with a theme for October - excuse me, SHOCKtober - posts, but I just haven't. BLURGH. I'm gonna be gone for almost the entire week of Halloween anyway so it probably wouldn't be worth it. Somehow the internet will have to manage without it. SOMEHOW.
Cheers to daily Stacie! Hooray!
Yes! Can't wait for your daily reviews, Shocktober is going to be so fantastic this year haha, so glad it's finally here
ReplyDeleteI'm completely stoked for Shocktober and all the joys it brings.
ReplyDeleteNow if I could only finish my damn reviews... (I am so, so behind).

And I am actually planning an event at www.slammedanddamned.com. Well, what I call an event, most people call a yawn, so...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link Stace. I'm feeling a level of excitement that only Andrew WK could possibly express.
ReplyDeleteI took October 30 and November 2nd off from my job... four days of watching movies. Scary movies. Gory movies. I am pretty much blogging all about scary movies, new and old.
ReplyDeleteStacie, you rocktober.
