Listen To The Lore Podcast For Creepy True Stories

Stories
Lore Podcast

Since I have such a long and mind-numbing drive to work I decided to listen to podcasts again. You might have guessed I’ve been researching the ones that are creepy or themed around Halloween. Well I found one that I’d consider a cut above the rest. I highly recommend you give a listen to the Lore Podcast written and narrated by Aaron Mahnke. Each episode is a true life scary story. That’s what makes them so creepy! Mahnke does a ton of research then crafts each story into an incredible tale. He has a way of telling stories that just draws you in as a listener and then holds your attention. It’s really pretty remarkable. When I listen to it, I feel like I’m listening to a spooky campfire story. Continue reading →

So have you figured out what you’re going to be for Halloween yet? I don’t know why it takes me so long to decide on what I’m going to be.

At first I saw the usual stuff like Freddy Kruger, vampires, pirates, and the usual overly-sexy female costumes. But then I saw costumes that made me scratch my head. They got weirder and weirder the more I looked. I thought I’d share with you what I consider the worst Halloween costumes of 2016. Continue reading →

Book Review: The Best Worst Halloween Ever

Books
The Best Worst Halloween Ever

You know what really gets me in the mood for the Halloween season? Taking a trip to the local library to check out Halloween books. Most of the time I find at least one adult sized book that will take most of the month to finish. Then I check out a few children’s books. That’s right don’t laugh. I read children’s books. Of course, not all the time. Only during the Halloween season. My reasoning is simple. I have very fond memories of reading these types of books in grade school. For example, the book titled The Monster Ring was one of my absolute favorites. Now if books like that exist then there must be so many more I haven’t had the chance to read yet. I was so impressed by a book titled The Best Worst Halloween Ever by Barbara Robinson that I decided to share it with you as the first book review of the 2016 Halloween season. Continue reading →
