halloween

As fun as Halloween can be, it's important to make sure our kids have basic safety rules in place--regarding traffic, people, and navigating unfamiliar places.

Are these new? I haven't seen inflatable rooftop claws at Halloween before, but there is at least one downtown district in Texas that has them everywhere.

Many have been both fascinated and filled with trepidation about those who have interest in the occult for thousands of years. Do they have an ETX presence?

Who says ghosts have to be dark and scary. Some of them like to have a good time picking on folks. Proof is in this video from the haunted hotel.

This is the time of year that we get to see a whole new side of our neighbors. The house might look serene and picturesque from the outside, but then all of a sudden you're face-to-face with a faceless lady wrapped in linens hanging from a tree, and you're wondering if you should bother them for a screwdriver.

I truly envy those who can dress their cats and dogs up in little Halloween costumes. My cats are not cooperative and my dog acts like she's being absolutely tortured. Enjoy your charmed life full of dogs dressed up like cowboys and cats dressed like pizza. You are truly living the dream, so I've put together a list of super cute costumes to add to your pet's ever-expanding Halloween wardrobe!

"I can’t think of more scary times, when I finally got to take my ‘66 Chevrolet fleet side down that road. All dark, trees covering the road, pulling up to the old rod iron fence, headlamps off. Killing the engine and praying the old girl would crank before the ghosts took us to hell."

Houston ScreamFest is open each weekend for a scary good time.

World of Khaos Haunted House sits on the site of the old Tyler Pipe. A series of accidents and deaths turned that area into one of the most haunted in East Texas.

There is nothing a kid loves more at Halloween than getting a pillowcase so heavy and full of candy that they have to drag it home, and at the same time, there's nothing a parent loves more than having some sort of healthy benefit from that huge sugar stash. This idea is a win-win.

Also, there will be food vendors for us human-folk, music, and an awesome photo-op! They only ask that your pet be fully vaccinated and spayed or neutered.

Wear your costume and have fun along the walking trails by Woldert Pond--games, vendors, candy and more to enjoy along the way.
