For me, every day is Halloween. But it's true that October is *especially* Halloween. I have a lot of personal Halloween traditions, including reading a classic (pre-20th century) Gothic novel every October. I've had friends over for horror movie nights.
I'm excited this year because of getting to go to a grown-up Halloween party for the first time in well over a decade. And it's attached to a performance of the Rocky Horror Show, so I'm extra-enthused. My outside decorations have been a little limited by moving to an apartment with no exterior electric plugs, but the inside is good. And the party is a few days before Halloween, so I can still hand out candy.
I love the sound of your reading tradition. I knew movies were a thing but I never even considered making a book a personal tradition. Thank you for sharing this ~tatterdemalion. I might nick it and pick up something exciting, spooky or classic this weekend.
