My grandmother started a Halloween tradition when she became a great-grandmother. Every year, we’d all gather at her house in the afternoon to carve pumpkins and decorate her “special” cookies. Afterward, we’d have dinner together and then head out for trick-or-treating.
To be honest, I never cared much for the creative part of it. I don’t have a single artistic bone in my body, and no matter how hard I tried, my pumpkins and cookies always turned out… questionable, to say the least. I even managed to cut myself a few times while carving. Being a competitive person, I hated being bad at something.
When my grandmother passed away a few years ago, we decided to keep the tradition alive. The first year without her was tough — the laughter felt a little forced, and the cookies didn’t taste quite the same — but over time the pain subsided and it became comforting again.
This year I discovered her “special” cookies weren’t some secret family recipe at all; they came from a store-bought mix. For a moment, the magic felt broken. But then my mom reminded me that Grandma always added one secret ingredient: lots of love.
As for my pumpkins — well, true to form, my first one ended up a disaster. But my second turned out surprisingly decent, and I even had a spark of creative genius and transformed my mutilated first pumpkin into a mummy. It actually looks kind of cute now! Pumkin picture
In the end, Halloween — like any great holiday — became less about perfection and more about family. And that’s something Grandma would have loved.

It's that spooky time of year again and I tried my best to recreate the Phantom of the Opera as a pumpkin carving. Not my best work but I hope you all can enjoy it and have a happy Halloween. :)

Are you looking for movies that have enough horror to keep you thrilled, but are also light-hearted enough that you can still sleep at night?
Indulge yourself in the horror/comedy genre and experience the striking balance between flinching in fear and giggling in glee.
This year’s recommendation is the 2002 movie “Eight Legged Freaks” otherwise known internationally as “Just Another Day in Australia”.
This movie could either be about an eight-legged drifter who unites a small town through the power of tap dancing, or about life in a mining town that’s about to have one too many spiders.
Even though the movie is a bit dated, it still has some solid pacing and the CGI effects hold up surprisingly well thanks to the simple nature of arachnid anatomy.
Verdict: A decent B-grade film to see in your downtime.

Anyway, we found one of the Jigsaw movies and thought we'd watch it, oh boy was that a bad idea... We didn't know it was horror at first and when all the scary scenes started we were all full of might and bravery that nobody wanted to stop.
When the time came to go trick or treat, we were all so terrified that we had to beg our auntie to go with us. Which is unusual because we know most people in the area so we were normally allowed to go alone.
The movie did end up preventing us from doing some mischievous things in the future so I guess, in the end, Jigsaw's ways do work o.O
