What stencils/designs are you guys gonna use to carve your pumpkins this year?
>>41036134
Do you guys ever browse the rest of this board? I hardly ever use /x/ except around this time of the year. I mostly just lurk pol. I tried getting into x but, half the time I can't understand what people are even talking about. I had to learn about Gnosticism for a lot of things to make sense. Even after that, a good chunk of what people talk about here is just a bunch of gibberish to me.
https://youtu.be/IhhOTqtYDw4Here's a fun RPGmaker Game for Halloween~ Well, it's a Let's Play of it, but still, I think it counts in the spirit of things.Enjoy! Thread #2 Yay! :D
>>41036466Usually just this and the story/creepypasta threads
>>41036466>Do you guys ever browse the rest of this board?Only on occasion. Outside of /hal/, it's pretty difficult to have a sincere, coherent discussion about anything. This thread exists as a comfy oasis in a desert of schizophrenic conceit.
>>41036202I'm thinking about doing a crow.>>41036466I used to hang out in the greentext threads more, but I haven't been doing it as much. Too much innawoods blud n cooper I guess. Not that there's anything wrong with those, but it just seems like all people post, and always the same ones.Sometimes a weird thread might catch my eye, I've found some pretty cool house sitting/urbex threads here.
I'll have to break this one out soon.
>>41036134HH (happy halloween)
Redid and started my movie a day watches.
>>41037840
where the pumpkin ale homies at? more festive halloween/autumn drink suggestions would be appreciated.
>>41037513/x/ kinda got me into gnosticism. i've had an interest in it ever since. >>41036979yup. it's mostly semi coherent schizobabble.
i posted this song in one of these threads like two seasons ago. https://youtu.be/DencCEwzcoE?si=41Qr6OG1Zenw7-P-
>>41037743
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7RGxtDxRF4One of my favorite spooky season songs, especially combined with the video.The guitarist/singer worked at a music shop I frequented in high school, I've been to several of their shows. I'm not sure if they're still playing, COVID might have killed them and I'm also not much a concert-goer anymore.
>>41038225Had some Voodoo Ranger Atomic Pumpkin ale yesterday. One of my favorites. Good pumpkiny flavor with a bit of heat on the back end. Very warming.
>>41038739I thought the Voodoo Ranger brand was just IPAs. I’ll have to check that out
Still haven’t decided on a Halloween costume, only the spookiest allowed.Dubs choose what I make!

>>41036134I think it was 2023, I went to a haunted house attraction which was really fun and the moon was just like that in OP's picture. I distinctly remember walking through a section and they had a dead tree and I saw the bright moon through the tree limbs, what an atmosphere. On the drive back the clouds were rolling low just like in the pic but heavier and it was so majestic. This October is going to be great frens.
>>41039473Were you the one who originally posted this a few years ago? I usually post it every year at least once because it was introduced to me in one of these threads. Great track.
>>41039591It was probably me yeah, I try to post it every year at least a few times. It's such a perfect song and video for the season.
>>41038225Not ale but a cider. Tried some yesterday, can't say if I liked it or not because I was already several beers on when I tried it. I have two more left that I'll save for the next day off.
>>41030672>I still have the other two as well if you wan them. It'd be cool to see these, if you're still around.>Last year I had this idea for what I thought would be a really neat animation, but personal issues meant I couldn't complete it and ended up just posting a screenshot of it. Maybe I could finish it this year instead to give myself something to work on.Hope things are better now. I'm certain most anons here would appreciate whatever you make.
>>41036134Ma, there's a weird looking cat
>>41037840>>41037845Based>the Scooby doo projectLooks fucking kino (no spoilers please)>>41040073>I'm certain most anons here would appreciate whatever you makeI know I would
>>41036134It's Bobbie! I recognize this cat. She is a princess
>>41036466I really just skim the catalogue and read creepypasta, greentext, or the occasional thread that looks interesting.
>>41036535Sick, I haven't played that one!If you like spooky RPG Maker games, I've made a few:https://darkrideentertainment.itch.io/
>>41041198>Bobbie the Persian looks just like Bobby LieblingWe live in a simulation.>>41039199Bobby Liebling
This is another good spooky game for the season, I played the demo before it came out and bought it day 1. I have yet to finish it but the atmosphere is perfect.
podcasts for spooky stories?
>>41041198>>41043072What even is this reality>>41039199Gonna have to second this Bobby Liebling idea now
I bought some pumpkin beers because of y'all. I'll report back if it is good. It isn't any kind I have heard y'all talk about before.
>>41045783hope they're good anon
>>41045783Please list whatever they are
>>41037585Is this the chainlink guy?
You guys have any local legends near your areas? There was an abandoned state prison that was supposedly haunted but it was mostly destroyed a few years ago by tornadoes. I'm also only a few hours away from the Bell Witch cave, and there's a local legend about a yeti-like monster that was supposedly hit and killed by a car on a pretty well-known back road in one of the towns near me. The (very obviously fake) head of the dead creature was displayed in a local antique shop for most of my childhood until the shop shut down, so I assume the owner probably kept it. It's a cool little legend even if it's obviously bullshit.Share your stories, fellow spookybros.
>>41039199Bob from Twin Peaks
>>41045886We used to tell stories of someone called "The White Witch" when we were kids to scare each other. Theres no actual evidence of there ever being a witch who lived nearby though since we lived in some small farming town in the midwest. But we used to make shit up about stuff happening in the 1900s to see if we could freak each other out when we were outside in the dark past our bedtimes
>>41046044Fuck yeah the exorcist.
>>41046090One of the best movies ever made imo. I have a buddy who doesn't care for horror and even he loves it.
>>41045847>>41045859I tried Smash Pumpkin from Shipyard. It wasn’t too good on the pumpkin taste. It tasted like a dark beer with some spices added to me. I can’t say I enjoyed it too much, and I wouldn’t recommend it. I’m not a huge beer drinker so it might be worth it if you know you have a good palette. If you don’t, I would skip it.
>>41036466/x/ is the lowest IQ board for a reason. It's all circle jerkers pretending to have forbidden knowledge. If you ask them for details, they give generalizations and vague answers. Also all the gold spooky threads died many, many years ago.
>>41042803Neat. Didn't Manlybadasshero cover one or two of those on his youtube channel?
>>41045886We have a supposedly haunted street where lots of shit supposedly happened but really it's just a really poorly lit street with a lot of junkies, homeless, and detritus. Still was fun in high school to try driving down it and scare each other lol, and lots of kids visit on Halloween. To be fair some people swear it's truly paranormal, but my friends and I never experienced anything. I mean there were a few real things, KKK meetings, robberies/assaults, dead bodies dumped there after murders, satanists (teenagers larping), gang fights, mutilated animal corpses, etc. The urban legends from this real stuff got exaggerated, like ghostly KKK lynchings, ghostly police cars that follow you and when you pull over, vanish, Satanist witch ghosts doing a ritual, and similar.Nowadays there's residential development beginning to encroach on it so its days are probably numbered, honestly.
>>41039199George Floyd with blackface and angel wings
>>41040073Yeah I'm always in these threads when they come around. Here's one of the others I did. The >/x/ Halloween Generalpart is more sneaky though.The other is a webm, but it's too dark, even the Ouija one is too dark tbf. I might redo the webm one and fix the lighting on it if I can. >Hope things are better nowThey are, thanks anon. They're getting there at least and that's good enough.>>41040854>I know I wouldThanks fren!
>>41046090>tfw started frequenting charity shops>tfw found the Exorcist special edition VHS and the Shining VHS for 50 pence each>tfw don't even have a VCR anymoreThey had A Nightmare on Elm Street II as well, but I forgot to pick it up when I was getting other stuff and when I went back it was gone.Even though I don't have a VCR anymore they're still nice little things to have.
>>41048495Nice find, bro!Classic
>>41047238Yeah basically. I don't even know why I come anymore.
>>41048031>The urban legends from this real stuff got exaggerated, like ghostly KKK lynchings, ghostly police cars that follow you and when you pull over, vanish, Satanist witch ghosts doing a ritualThat's pretty cool, love stuff like that even if it's bullshit. Being followed by ghost cars in particular stands out to me, I think it was because I loved Speed Racer as a kid and there was an episode about a car being so infamous that Speed's dad speculated that it could have become a ghost after supposedly being destroyed. I'm not sure why that stuck with me all the way into adulthood.>>41048495Yeah those are cool to have just as collector's items. VCRs feel so nostalgic to me. Gotta make sure to adjust the tracking and rewind when you're done watching.
>>41047238/x/ is absolutely the lowest IQ board. A while back there was a thread about a psychic ability test people got in elementary school. I thought it sounded like an IQ test for 3rd graders, so I posted a pic of a multiple choice sample question asking if this was it. Post got a bunch of replies guessing the answer to the question in the pic. Most of them were wrong. Again, it was the “introduce you to the test format” sample question from an IQ test for third graders
>>41047238exactly! these fuckers act all mysterious n shit, like they no something we dont. but its all bs.i miss the ghost story threads and similar topics..
>>41049449To be fair, I'd probably fail it too, lmao. But I don't participate in whatever bullshit a lot of /×/ users spew here. (The nobody, de-worming(?), blue Eisenhower november, law of attraction, etc etc, its all fucking retarded.)
>>41049462>how 2 soomun tulpa/succubus>generic "they are lying to you" conspiracy thread>le flat earth shitposting thread>greentext thread with the same 5 skinwalker pastas spammed on a loop>some gay thread about shit that's sort of maybe kinda tangentially related to /x/, like the unsolved Zodiac ciphers or Cicada 3301>"bro what do dreams mean"It's all so tiresome. I just want a good urbex thread with some spooky undertones even if everyone knows it's all a LARP. But if you try to make one the thread gets flooded with fucking retards screaming "FAKE" until the OP gets tired of it and stops posting.
Should start cooling down in my area this week, good time to start decorating. Need to pick up some lights and a fall wreath.
Anybody try this? https://bevmo.com/products/14284
>>41049497We can’t have urbex threads because nobody goes outside to investigate shit themselves anymore. I do, but I’m physically incapable of LARPing, so I’ll only post if I actually encounter something, which I haven’t yet.
>>41048495>50p/tape>no VCRIf nothing else, buying the tapes might be a cheap way to "justify" the digital five-finger-discount. Is torrenting really piracy if you've already purchased the titles elsewhere?>>41047238>/x/ is the lowest IQ board for a reason. I'm honestly a little bit surprised /x/ is as coherent as it is, since marked cognitive decline is a pretty universal feature of the psychotic mental illness drawn to this board. I guess the bots and coomers offset some of the schizobabble.
>>41049727>Is torrenting really piracy if you've already purchased the titles elsewhere?Weirdly, when torrenting started to become way more popular around 15 years ago, I actually read about this. Turns out if you have a copy of something then you are legally allowed to make a backup copy for yourself. Whether that's burning it and making a backup or downloading a torrent doesn't matter because you're legally allowed that backup.With much less hooha, but no doubt still on a massive scale, it was/is illegal to record films that are shown on TV using a VCR. Again, unless you already owned that film already. Obviously that was always going to be way harder to seek out and prosecute compared to now. Hence why there was less fuss about it at the time.Has the law changed? I have no idea, but it wouldn't surprise me if it had. Either way, now you know!
>>41045473Halloween kitsch is one of my all time favorite aestheticsAlready starting to get fall colors and see pumpkins out in northern New Hampshire, it's happening
>>41049427I grew up in Queens, NY and when a childhood friend moved out to Nassau County he got a car and we started driving all over the place. We used to always drive to Sweet Hollow Road and Mt. Misery Road, which were supposedly haunted. These were winding wooded roads, which were frequently foggy because of their proximity to the water. Supposedly the most frequent apparitions, which dated back to the days of horse drawn carriages, were human shapes that darted across the road causing drivers to crash. There's was also a bridge where your car would be scratched up if you turned it off at night. My friend never wanted to try it. "On the off chance that it's true, I really don't want my car getting scratched up." We never saw anything but the atmosphere was awesome. We had good times there. One night we were in a group and two people were sure they heard a voice say "get out" when were pulled over, but I think they were just psyching themselves out.
>>41050281That sounds so fucking cool. Even not experiencing anything, the atmosphere just sounds perfect.
>>41050374Beat its ass, Batman
>>41049497I miss those old urbex threads, or people telling some sort of spooky story through unfocused pictures they took around the house that maybe sorta look creepy cause its dark. All of them were fake but theres something kind of fun about reading a thread where OP is being haunted in real time and you're sitting in the dark with some beers and a pizza legitimately being scared wondering where its gonna go. Yeah you had your thread shitters but if everyone was playing along it felt like an interactive spooky story.
>>41050836This is one of my favorites.https://archive.4plebs.org/x/thread/17306313/It got pretty gay towards the end of the LARP but man I had a fun time posting in that thread.
>>41050845Oh hells yeah. Time to read. Thanks anon!
>>41050866Cheers friend. Here's another one I periodically revisit.https://archive.4plebs.org/x/thread/13222876/
>>41050866And one more.https://archive.4plebs.org/x/thread/15417893/#q15417893This one goes on for quite a few threads and is probably my overall favorite. It's a very believable LARP to the point that I sometimes think it might not actually be a LARP.
>>41045886I'm in Poughkeepsie. Hudson Valley is number one in the nation for number of UFO sightings, apparently, and Poughkeepsie in particular has a massive "witchcraft" community. Lots of esoteric businesses and people who take it seriously. They throw events sometimes. We have an abandoned asylum which is allegedly haunted. A high priest of Satan lives here and I've seen him once. But for all that, no real cryptids or ghost stories in the area. Everyone's still enchanted by the serial killer we had some time ago, and I think there's too many crackheads for night creatures to compete with in the public mindshare.
>>41050936>and Poughkeepsie in particular has a massive "witchcraft" community. Lots of esoteric businesses and people who take it seriously.That's pretty neat. What kinds of businesses? Like weird little crystal shops or do they go really hard?
>>41050942It's crystal bullshit, by and large, but there's a lot of such shops for such a small city and a couple of them are run by avowed Satanists, which is pretty neat. The cooler things are the events that get put on, there's a couple esoteric organizations that do events on every pagan holiday which is a combination of vendor fair, performance, and ritual. Those are pretty sweet - that's where I saw the high priest of Satan, he did a surprise appearance at one of those events that I was at, to perform a vow renewal for a satan worshipping couple. The performances can be anything from a lame drag show to a woman pounding nails into her own face, so it's hit and miss.
>>41050974>there's a couple esoteric organizations that do events on every pagan holiday which is a combination of vendor fair, performance, and ritual.That is cool as fuck, I would love to go to something like that. Where I'm at anything even hinting at paganism would get shot the fuck down.
>>41050974There was a scandal in Massachusetts a few years ago where a morgue manager at Harvard was caught illegally flipping cadavers on the black market, including to a "haunted doll" store in Peabody which would make dolls using real hair from the bodies. I find this so fascinating because these sorts of 'haunted item' stores are normally just a cheesy gimmick but the owner was going out of her way to commit major felonies in order to provide authentic creepy dolls in a way she wasn't even able to advertise to the customers (because, again, it was highly illegal)
>>41050974How big are these nails?
bought one of these at Costco todayfat nigga season has arrived bros
I read The Troop by Nick Cutter. I would recommend it for anyone wanting an easy to read horror novel. It's about a boy scout troop trapped on an island with a man that has a super infectious tapeworm. It's interesting because there are newspaper clips between most chapters to tell more information that the kids wouldn't know without breaking the flow of the story.
Anyone ever visited or near to/from Salem, Mass.? I know it's probably mostly a tourist trap, especially around Halloween, but it's been a lifelong dream of mine to visit one day. I really want to visit New England in general.https://youtube.com/watch?v=WUtB57qawoo>>41051415That's genuinely spooky (in a good way) if true.
>>41048806What is the filipino cryptid in pic rel?
a few things I've finished recently
also peep these trees, made them from old pringles cans and electric tealights
>>41051670Normal construction nails, big enough to look good on stage. I found out that it's an old carnival trick - you agur permanent holes in your cartilage, just like getting a piercing, and then let just skin heal over the top. When you're on stage you can pound a nail into the hole with minimal pain since it's just piercing skin, but there's real blood and a real nail in your face so the audience really gets a show.>>41053861I feel the same way, would love to visit Salem (and you should visit new England in general because I'm already here and it's very Halloweeny)I think it is a super consumerist tourist trap, from what I hear, but I also think that Halloween is the one holiday where extreme consumerism / artificiality are somehow spiritually appropriate so it's all good. See the Halloween Kitsch aesthetic, the symbolic presence of plastic costumes and animatronic monsters, the consumption of candy. It's In The Spirit of the season to be a bit of a tourist trap. >>41054652>>41054656Phenomenal as always. The aesthetic you've hit (reminiscent of classic Bristle branded decor et al) is super hard to replicate so accurately. Are the pumpkins paper mache?
>>41054656Those are fantastic. I love the tablecloth, too.
>>41054652>>41054656Super neat I always look forward to these!

I think I remember reading something similar, but couldn't remember if the copy had to conform to the original format (e.g., tape, cd, digital). All I knew was that, in certain scenarios, ownership somehow qualified reproduction.

Hi, /hal/ hope everyone is getting ready for the season with the same sense of wonder and joy I am feeling. Halloween is extremely nostalgic for me, my birthday is in early October so it was a special time for me as kid. I collect vintage/antique Halloween items so I will be posting some of those, also I make some as well here is one I've made
>>41061841Very cool
>>41061841Nice! Definitely post more. Also based bookshelf.
Last thread I mentioned the odd metaphysical quality to the comfy numbness and nostalgia of the Halloween season. Thin veils, the macabre seeping into the mundane, that sort of thing. Anyone else have any other stories or thoughts about that? The phenomenon deeply fascinates me.
>>41062267The veil is "thinner" according to people I've talked to who are very into wiccanism and things like that. I agree with you that things somehow feel different. It could be the transition from a "hard" season into a mild season, but the change from winter to spring doesn't feel like this. I also think a lot of people associate comfy core memories with this particular seasonal shift, especially if they grew up participating in Halloween and fall festivals and things like that. After being ingrained over decades, it just becomes an automatic mood shift. For me, it doesn't fully kick in until the weather finally cools off consistently.
There's a Scooby doo thread on /tv/ if anyone's interested: >>>/tv/214416820
>>41054792>and you should visit new England in general because I'm already here and it's very Halloweeny>I also think that Halloween is the one holiday where extreme consumerism / artificiality are somehow spiritually appropriate so it's all good. See the Halloween Kitsch aesthetic, the symbolic presence of plastic costumes and animatronic monsters, the consumption of candy. It's In The Spirit of the season to be a bit of a tourist trap. Agree with both of these. Thanks anon.>>41062294>For me, it doesn't fully kick in until the weather finally cools off consistentlyMe too, luckily it's starting to here.
>>41062267>>41062294The fall harvest is ingrained in our dna, marking this time with revelries and preparations for the coming of winter. I think this accounts for some these metaphysical feelings. Halloween, as far as in America, was and will always be an adolescent holiday. Making a direct link to your childhood creates the nostalgia for a time you can only remember but never live again.
>>41061841
>>41062887
>>41062978
>>41062978Some of this is just a person being upset they aren't a kid anymore. As an adult, you have the responsibility to keep the traditions you want to see continued. We give out candy, we have an adult costume party every year. We decorate. (You) have to make the holiday what you want it as. >>41062982I want to address this last post. Halloween, for the last 100 years, is a uniquely American holiday. The europoor mind has to call it "consumerist culture' but there would be no Halloween in its best form without America. Its a national holiday that crossed socioeconomic lines and brought community's together.
>>41063209Precisely. "Halloween" is the only commodified holiday I enjoy. It is entirely separated from it's Samhain roots.(which is cook in it's own right.)
sweater weather is finally here.i don't know how anyone could prefer summer over this
>>41063209You’re lucky you still have stuff to do at Halloween, maybe it’s because I’m no longer in New England, but the holiday seems way less prominent than it was 15-20 years ago, Christmas also seems less spirited than it used to be. I will do something to try and make it better for myself this year. Remeber those old threads about year-walking? I’ve always wanted to try that. Maybe I’ll find something similar to do for Halloween, lots of energy around this year.
who gaf about a marketed holiday. tainted in the same way all other major holidays are
>>41064905If you're a pathetic normalfaggot who thinks celebrating Halloween means buying some overpriced dogshit at one of those gay Spirit Halloween stores, sure.
>>41065321calm down honey. you will eat your candy and be happy
I have tried Full Grown Jack by Tupps.It is strong for a beer, or I am a light weight. I felt it after one can. It's 12% ABV and doesn't taste much like pumpkin to me. It gave me some heartburn too.
>>4106567512% is pretty strong for a beer, that's stronger than some wines.
>>41065754I want to find some other more pumpkin ones. I have two left to try, and one is more pumpkin spice. That one is a St. Arnold one in a glass bottle.Now that I double check the Tubbs one, it says "imperial stout with pumpkin spices" on it.

>>41061841>>41062914these are so cool man! have I seen some of your paintings in halloween threads of previous years? you capture the vintage look perfectly.
>>41039199A spoopy scary skeleton.
>>41039199Rolling for you to go as a big block of CHEESE with a rat skeleton sticking out of the side of the cheese and the rat skeleton has a sign hanging around its neck that says "dying to eat you!" (In reference to the cheese, which it presumably died eating)
>>41039199One of those oversized pumpkin costume things. Only instead when people tell you its not that scary you pull out a gun and rob them.

>>41062267>Last thread I mentioned the odd metaphysical quality to the comfy numbness and nostalgia of the Halloween season.I don't know what it is about Halloween but it's so strongly associated with childhood nostalgia (or just nostalgia in general) in a way I don't feel for any other holiday, even ones that were equally prominent in my childhood

Bros.. its september..
>>41071820pretty much there
>>41064905I like the candy corn
>>41072585not american so never eaten it, but from what I gather, it tastes like vax. Do you like vax?
>>41071470Which movie is, "they're eating her" from? I'm spooked already lol>>41039199Rape Dwarf
>>41072831It’s like waxy sugar
>>41074159Troll 2
>>41074525Thanks, but soon they'll be eating ME.OHHH GODDDDDDD
>>41072831Tastes like buttery honey to me and I also enjoy it. Especially the ones shaped like pumpkins.
Who /already October/ here?I have orange lights strung in my room, switched to an autumn desktop wallpaper, been browsing this general and running Halloween atmosphere videos, keeping my windows open at night for the crickets and cool autumn air, watching fall and Halloween themed movies, paying attention to every changing leaf and pumpkin I see, and generally just acting like I'm already in October
>>41078350Bachs caramel candy corn all the way. I hate how I can get it cheaply at my dollar general because I just know I'll be spending money bringing home a lot of it to binge on horror movies with.
>>41078549based as hell anon. I have been doing all the same except the weather stuff. Where I am the highs are in the high 90s.I have been finding every halloween episode of 90s sitcoms and I'[ve been watching it while building my halloween stuff, it's been hella cozy.also anyone ever play this game, or the sequel? The ULTIMATE specifically halloween themed games. Love em to death.
>>41079245No, but Im playing through REmake. By candlelight of.
>>41071820If it's the "wrong time" for you, allow people to get excited and enjoy an extended celebration- and you can go back to your sissy hypno and drug use. Everyone is happy
>>41079440Very awesomeGreat idea man
>>41071820My pumpkins are already nearly there. Can you say the same, city cricket?Besides, the veil is thinning sooner than usual.
Down for some scary stories?https://scareactor1998.neocities.org/tales
>>41071820Summer is enough of a slog. I want cool weather, pretty leaves and comfy food
>>41071820September 1st is my official start of fall.
>>41081920It’s the meteorological start of fall
Anons, I need cool pumpkin carving templates. I grew lots of pumpkins, and wanna do them justice. I know there’s a link in op, but If you have anything I’ll try my best. I’ll post pic results.
>>41081956That's neat. I wonder why the "official" start doesn't match the meteorological start.
>>41082849Official is because of the autumnal equinox which similar to spring signifies a day of equal amounts of sunlight and darkness, then afterwards the days get shorter and nights longer
>>41039340Idk if someone cares but in my country there's quite a similar urban myth. Only it was a deformed newborn in a hospital rather than a talking fish. I just think it's curious
>>41079440Beautiful game! I've been recently playing 2, 3 and 4 (ps1 and ps2), but nothing hits quite like REmake
>>41039785I like this pic a lot
>>41053694I highly recommend his other stuff, specifically The Deep. If you have thalassophobia it's got a chapter that describes the descent to the bottom of the ocean in a gut wrenching way. Very good read.
It's the most wonderful time of the year. Good to see ya'll again.>>41045337Astonishing Legendshttps://astonishinglegends.com/archived-episodesEasy to start at the beginning and cherry-pick ones whose descriptions sound cool. I like the era of the first 200 or so, but some people some won't go past ep123. AL's style is a deep dive encyclopedia rather than a concise bite, but I like getting all the details.
>>41045337Magnus Archive is surprisingly good. It is someone working for a paranormal investigation company reading an archive of cases and doing follow up research.
Anyone here been to Salem? Have tips on planning a trip? Sounds like a total tourist trap, but in the style that I like.
>>41087936As a Masshole I've been there a bunch of times, usually to see the Peabody Essex museum (unrelated to typical Salem stuff). It has a really comfy vibe with all the occult stores and I've always wanted to go on Halloween
>>41079440Its kind of crazy how they are about to release their 10th mainline entry and they still have yet to quite capture the mood of the original. Proof that less is more.
>>41045337Lore and their network, Grim and Mild(?) do some pretty good Halloween spooky story telling every year. If you prefer comedic Halloween content, try The Midnight Library.
Two weeks of movies ranked.
>>41089286>Cemetary Man>not in the "Great" categoryI can forgive Night Flyer and Friday Part 2, but have some depth man
Some people were talking about pumpkin beer earlier in the thread, but they were all american brewers not available where I am. Any leafs try this stuff? It's my personal favorite as far as halloween beers go.
>>41091103Where in New England can this be found? Got some tickets booked for Maine in October
>>41091238Pretty much anywhere in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, or even Western Mass. A year or two ago I came back from Upstate NY through Green Mountain National Forest in October and it was spectacular
>>41089889I really didn't want to overload the great category with too many films, makes it less special.
>>41090170Looks good. I'll have to check my local specialty beer place.
>>41093468Fair enoughLooking forward to being critical of your future reviews now too though lolSome really great ones in there scattered around, some I've never heard ofGlad Halloween fun is already kicking off

>>41099457How do you not know the Beetlejuice cartoon? I never even watched it and know that.
>>41099460for fucks sake anon, I said I didnt remember the title and its been fucking decades since the last time I actually bothered watching western cartoons
>>41099478I'm sorry I forgot the Halloween thread is a place of positivity. Sorry anon...

>>41062267Well my last Halloween did have something that very much did relate to theme of Death (card 13 ruled by Scorpio), but it was actually something that was horribly traumatic so I really don’t want to talk about it. For context, from my perspective I don’t just believe - I know that magic is real. So I had a lot of spooky synchronicities, but at this point I am used to things like that since it’s very much a part of my what’s accepted in my worldview. But on the bright side, that horrible event lead me to getting my shit together in finding my girlfriend and getting back in university (which are both things I worked for magically too, but as for the girlfriend I did the magic to meet her which I successfully did on a dating app - so don’t worry). So it was like a sacrifice, the law of give and take, stuff which Scorpio rules - and I am a Scorpio rising. I felt like God gave me a slap to make me get up better
>>41062267Also, if you also want my schizo take on ‘energies’, I also just saw a sort of watery orangey blue light being very prominent at the time (what you would probably consider a hallucination). I mean I saw it everywhere all the time, it kind of gave off this thumping feeling, like sinister giggling spirits were forcing themselves into reality
Bumpin'.
>>41105224Takes a lot of will and effort to reset like that, good on ya man. Keep it up, and more gifts will manifest. I am in a transition period myself, looking forward to getting back to a place like where you're at.

Actually going to a Halloween party for the first time since pre-Covid this year. Not sure what I want to do for a costume, kinda leaning towards something "real" (as in it feels like something that would be traditionally worn for this astrological holiday) rather than a topical joke or whatever it is adult halloween costumes usually end up being

Reminder that on Halloween 2015, we detected an asteroid shaped like a giant skull. I believe it's a real petrified skull. What do you think?
>>41109266maybe this will help you decide, plenty to choose from

Got a bitchin CD/DVD at the store earlier this week. It's called Halloween Fright Night and has a bunch of music from various movies, and the movie Night of the Living Dead.

anybody else setting up a haunt this year? I can't do it at home as an apartmentfag, but my workplace is going all in on halloween and have told me to go nuts, only limits are that it has to be relatively kid-friendly (so no EXCESSIVE gore) and feature no clowns. i'm thinking of doing a witches' grotto, but a mad science lab is calling to me too...
>>41121931Holy based. I live in a condo that gets one group of kids per year at best, so I can't exactly set up a haunt... But my friend is a homeowner and we do a massive Halloween party in his home every year. We're going to try and do that "laser fog lake" effect in the living room (we failed last year because our lasers were too shitty, but I'm not giving Froggy's Fog their blood money) I'm also trying to convince my buddy to let me put on one those spirit Halloween jumping spider animatronics in his bathtub so that it scares the hell out of people when they go to take a shit. He says that's too mean. Otherwise it's going to be a lot of spiderwebs and pumpkins, not exactly a cohesive theme but we at least have a "skeleton room", "corpse room" "rat room". Lot of effort for a party that's mostly boomers from work, and I love it. And that's before all the DIY bits, making your own decorations, doing the lights... He's taking a week off and I'm out on disability so we ought to have a truly nice one this time.Generally I would call building a Haunt my dream job. Been to Transworld once and it fucking ruled, really nice people working in the Haunt industry, but the only way to get your foot in the door on a professional level is to either work as a scarer for pennies, have a giant amount of overhead to do your own haunt, or make props and grind like an absolute motherfucker to be noticed. At least the Escape Room boom means that these businesses can run year-round viably now , that plus the growing size of the Halloween market means that Haunts are actually pretty viable businesses right now.
>>41122231>I'm also trying to convince my buddy to let me put on one those spirit Halloween jumping spider animatronics in his bathtub so that it scares the hell out of people when they go to take a shit.Lel
>>41122231the jumping spider bit is genius and you should absolutely do it. they're already shitting, may as well speed up the process
>>41122231>jumping spider animatronics in his bathtub so that it scares the hell out of people when they go to take a shitKek, do it. You'll even give your buddy a scare with all the piss and shit he'll have to clean up afterward.
>>41108907Where do I get this? I most definitely need to try this.
>>41112998Only nerds remember who Trayvon Martin was. You'd have to do Floyd or the "Maryland Dad" if wanted to piss off lefties. If you wanted to piss off righties you'd probably be best off doing Kirk (though unless you're prepared to cross the line it'll probably be mistaken as a tribute).
>>41123608They sell it at a liquor store near my house. I wouldn't worry about the brand too much as long as it's pumpkin ale. Try different brands and tell us which you liked.
>>41123627As a very late millennial I remember the Trayvon case being discussed endlessly in our high school civics class
