Happy Halloween 2024!

Happy Halloween!

 

 

We made it through another October! Things got away from me this year and I didn't have time to stop by each and every blog but I do want to say thank you to all of you that join us, whether it's your first year or your 13th!

With the current thing being the YouTubes and TikToks, I'm glad to see some of us are still burning the blogging candle bright. That being said, I am terrible with social media. Do you folks want something more from this blog during the season or are you fine with it being a gathering place? If you have any ideas, let me know!

Also, if you end up with a fun Halloween photo or two, send them to me Dex1138(at)gmail.com along with your blog name. I'll give it a couple weeks and then post what I get here.

Thank you again for being part of this community and I hope you all have a fang-tastic Halloween! I'll be heading into Salem MA tonight as usual. What's not usual is it being in the 70s/high 60s for Halloween!

Summoning the Spirits

The Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA has a fantastic exhibit called "Conjuring the Spirit World: Art, Magic, and Mediums". Next to the museum is a little pop-up shop with gifts related to the exhibit. I didn't take this home but thought it would be fun to share.

Halloween is Hoppin'!

It's finally here, let the Countdown begin!

The sign up form is closed for this year but you can still join the party by emailing Cryptkeeper Dex at Dex1138(at)gmail.com.

 

To kick off your October, head over to Bandcamp and check out Halloween Hop by LVCRFT, David Dastmalchian, and Thunderwolf. It's an incredibly fun song that deserves a spot in your playlist. Don't say I didn't warn you, but it's probably going to get stuck in your head.

Spooky Season is Here!

Okay, I know for some of us Spooky Season has been in full swing but we are now less than 60 days to Halloween and Dunkin' has unleashed all things Pumpkin Spice!

I posted everyone's link in the sidebar. Please check your link and let me know if it isn't working. Also, there were some mischievous gremlins in this year's sign up process so if you don't see your link, you can try signing up again or email it to me at Dex1138(at)gmail.com.

2024 Countdown Badges are Here!

 

The wonderfully wicked Mr Chad Savage has whipped up another batch of badges for the Countdown this year. You can grab em from the sidebar.

2024 Countdown

Hey everyone! It's time to add more spooky decorations to your year-round home decor!

 

 

It's my first year running this pumpkin patch by myself so things are a little delayed. In the next few days I'll be sending out the link to sign yourself up for this year's Countdown to Halloween!

There's also a link in the right sidebar to fill out the form. Feel free to pass it on to any sympathetic spirits you know that want to join our happy haunt.

If you're using a non-blog social platform, please include a link back to the Countdown site (countdowntohalloween.net) on your posts.

You can also use #countdowntohalloween & #countdowntohalloween2024 as those are followed by our Instagram to look for things to share with our followers.

While you're all out stalking the stores for the latest decor, toss By Pumpkin's Light podcast in your ears. In each episode, Mike (All Hallows Geek) and Miranda (Spooky Little Halloween) introduce you to content creators, small business owners, and industry professionals dedicated to creating Halloween magic all year long.
