Happy October! Here’s a chance to win a Trick ‘r Treat prize pack!

It’s October, my favorite month of the year!  Halloween is a big deal in our house, as we go all out with decorations and watching scary movies all month long.  I take part in a couple of different movie watching contests to help build excitement.  I don’t usually stand a chance of winning seeing as how I have a job and family, but it is still great fun.  Look for a post later this week about one known as The Madness.

By far my favorite yearly ritual is getting our garage ready for Halloween night.  We always have a different theme and it’s always a big hit with the neighborhood kids. I don’t think it hurts that we also give out full size candy bars!  It’s always a blast and our own kids have pretty much given up on their own trick or treating so they can stay at the garage.

This year, I want to hear what your favorite part of the Halloween season is.  Leave your comment below, and on October 11^th, I’ll pick a winner at random to receive a Trick ‘r Treat Prize pack that features the Blu Ray, a sucker like the one Sam uses and some other goodies that I got from FEARnet to celebrate Halloween.  Make sure and leave an email address so I can notify the winner.  Also, winners are restricted to the Continental US & Canada (shipping sucks!).

FEARnet announces “FEARtober: 31 Days of Treats”

It’s just about my favorite time of the year.  The month of October is filled with more horror movies than usual and tons of special programming and contests to celebrate Halloween.  FEARnet has tons planned and even sent me some “treats” that I will be passing on to readers in the next week.   Take a look at some of the things going down over on FEARnet!
