Halloween is my favorite holiday and I love trying new things to keep the joy of it alive. So Lemmy, what are your favorite Halloween traditions? (sh.itjust.works)

I’ll go first. I love watching Over The Garden Wall every October, either on Halloween or a bit earlier. What about you?

Since owning a house my partner and I have really embraced Fall/Thanksgiving/Halloween decor from mid-September until early November (we're in Canada where Thanksgiving is in October). I like fancy/pretty shit so we have a bunch of blown glass and porcelain stuff, candles, some skull/haunted-like figurines, wreaths and vases with faux flowers/black branches. The last two Thanksgivings my partner bought me a bouquet of orange/yellow flowers for the dining table too.

I bake at least once for Thanksgiving and once for Halloween. We also watch Halloween Baking Championship every year, and try to squeeze in some horror flicks too.

We also listen to a very wide variety of fall/Halloween music throughout the season. This year we particularly enjoyed the Nemos dreamscapes compilations (example).
