Unbelievably, today is October first and officially kicks off the Month of Macabre! This is, without a doubt, my favorite month of the year. October invites us to embrace fun, horror, and nostalgia in a very selfish way. Unlike December and the Christmas season, October doesn't live by the credo "it's better to give than receive." Unless, of course, we're talking about Lizzie Borden. In that case, we'd all much rather be on her end of 40 whacks. What I mean is this month doesn't celebrate anything serious. It's all about fun, indulging in seasonal products which are all no good for us, dressing up in playful costumes, finding a sexier side of horror, and scaring the shit out of ourselves through movies and Haunted Houses. If this was how we wished Jesus a Happy Birthday, we'd all have spots reserved in Hell. Thankfully, for 31 days, we get to make ourselves happy by being a kid again and sharing the memories and nostalgia with those who welcome the 'daze! Leave your stress at the door, put on a mask, and get ready for the best month of the year!
On The Holidaze, we'll be having a blast this October. First of all, I'll be announcing the winner of the NECA 8-Bit Jason Voorhees figure in a mere matter of hours! The Holidaze Halloween Instagram Challenge kicks off today and, later tonight, I'll be picking up where HI-C Horror Boxes left off with my own Holidaze Funko Horror Designs! October is sure to be fun and interactive. But, to kick things off, let's go the traditional Holidaze route and talk about some cookies!
