******************************************************************

It’s been over 2 years since we last spoke!
what has changed in that time?
So much and yet…nothing at all. I’m still the same ghoul who loves Halloween enough to write a blog about it all year. I’ve gotten to attend Midsummer Scream twice, which was a dream, and even spoke at it last year. I’ve met a TON of my Halloween friends in-person, which I love. I’ve visited Sleepy Hollow and Anoka, MN – both fun spooky spots in the U.S. I even moved to the other side of my apartment building and moved in with a ghost! But she’s pretty quiet these days.
People like to tell us, Halloween Addiction is just a phaze, and that we will grow out of it. Do you still love Halloween as strong now , as you did 2 years ago? Or has the magic dimmed?
I absolutely love Halloween just as much as I did last time we chatted – possibly even more. I talk often about how I started my blog on a whim, but I really think I was meant to go on this adventure. I feel like I’ve really found myself by embracing my inner weirdo even more. It’s also brought a ton of amazing friends into my life I wouldn’t have otherwise known.
Halloween has gotten more and more popular these past few years.
With popularity , comes oppertunity. I cannot tell you how disappointing it is , to see all my US ghouls , not getting their annual , favourite Halloween items , Solely due to Anti-Halloween people raiding the stores in June , Bulk buy the most highly sawn after decorations , for then to go sell them for 4 times its value ,on Ebay.
Do you feel Halloween has lost its magic now that it has become “Popular”?
Not at all! I know there are certain products or brands that are highly sought-after during the Halloween season, but I’ve never been super interested in that kind of stuff. Shopping for Halloween is a blast – and I know we all love seeing it on Instagram – but for me, Halloween is a feeling. It’s something in the air. It’s a certain glow of the setting sun in October. Christmas lost its magical feel for me the older I got, but Halloween never has…and I don’t think it ever will. It’s where I feel like I belong.

What is the best part of celebrating Halloween?
The best part for me is feeling like I get to step into the spooky world I create the rest of the year on my blog and social media. I love seeing stores filled with Halloween décor, pumpkins outside grocery stores and people in costumes.
We are all living in some quite stressful times these days, so the need to get spooky , has now reach a point to were its crucial .
What do you do to get yourself in that spooky mood?
I’ve been sharing blog posts with Halloween spins on things people are gravitating towards right now – stuff like Halloween puzzles, coloring pages and virtual tours. I hope they help my spooky friends fill their days, try something new and get a little dose of Halloween spirit.

I’ve also been hosting Instagram Lives regularly on my account where I interview some of my friends, small businesses and more. They’ve been a fun escape and, honestly, a fun way for me to fill my days and stay busy. I hope others have enjoyed them too and discovered a new account or two to follow!
October is still some months away , so the Corona rules of social distancing will hopefully have been lifted by then . But in worst case scenario , Some of us have starting planning a virtual Halloween party. Where all the spooky ghouls and goblins would do a group video call and celebrate the best day of the year , together , from all around the world!
I know you have an annual Halloween party , but is a virtual Halloween party something you would do/attend?
I think a virtual party would be a blast! I’d definitely attend.
When I’m feeling down , I always re-watch my favourite Halloween/Horror movies.
Nothing removes stress more, than watching pumpkins getting carved , or a spooky story.
What movies/series do you watched to get your unholy spirit lifted?
“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” is my default these days. I’d die to live in the Spellman Mortuary. It’s a spooky dream! “Supernatural” is a favorite of mine too – spooky without too much gore, esp. those first three seasons.

I’ve also taken on a challenge of watching horror movies from my friend Matt. He made me a starter list, and I’ve slowly worked my way through watching things like “Jaws” and “Psycho” for the first time. I’ve also re-watched a few on the list I’ve already seen…but only a few times…like the original “Halloween” and “Friday the 13th”.
and with streaming sites spewing out horrific good horror movies and series every month , do you think the horror movie genre has gotten too saturated?
I’m probably not the best person to commentate on that since I’m not a devout horror fan. But I’ll say this: as a music fan who can sometimes feel like there is too much out there, it can be overwhelming to wade through it all and find the things you love. I think that’s why it’s important to share your faves – and share WHY it’s your favorite! Lindsay from Foxblood recently talked me into watching a vampire flick called “Bliss”. I can’t wait to check it out!
Since we all know Halloween is LIFE , I know some of you use the love for the dark and spooky , to make some amazing crafts,
What arts and crafts do you make?
I don’t make nearly as much as I would like! I enjoy making things I can wear, like my over-the-top witches hat from a few years ago, or my spooky flower crowns I’ve been wearing a ton lately because…why not? As a girl, I loved making my own jewelry. I like having one-of-a-kind items to wear. I also try to keep an eye out these days for something I can give a little makeover to and make Halloweeny.
With Halloween becoming increasingly more popular for each passing year , what do you think is the positive and negative sides about Halloween becoming more popular every year?
I love seeing more people embrace Halloween. I know a lot of people dislike the trunk-or-treat concept because it cannibalizes trick-or-treating, which I get, but I also think the beauty of Halloween is…there is no wrong way to celebrate it. Whether it’s as simple as carving a jack-o-lantern for fun or as complex as hosting a huge party or event on October 31st, there’s no wrong way to be spooky!
Here in Norway , we rarely get any of the Halloween classics. I wouldn’t have gotten any of the candy Corns , Reeses , Herseys or any of the other goodies , if it wasn’t for my US Ghouls sending them to me.
What is your top 5 favourite Halloween candies, you must have , every Halloween?
Oh man, that’s hard! For nostalgia’s sake SweeTarts have to be on the list. I also love Almond Snickers, Reese’s Peanut Butter Bats and Sour Patch Kids. And you can never go wrong with a good old Hershey bar.

So ,trying to explain my Halloween addiction to a non-believer , is like trying to convert a Yankees fan to the Sox , it´s impossible.
If you were to describe what is the most amazing part of celebrating Halloween , what would you say?
The most amazing part of celebrating Halloween is the feeling it gives me. I never feel more like myself than when it’s September or October and I’m out at stores wandering the décor aisles or carving a jack-o-lantern in my kitchen or working on a costume idea. I feel complete and like I’m being my truest self when I’m enjoying the spooky season.
Halloween decorations are appearing earlier and earlier in the stores every year , making some of the stores making the decision NOT to restock in October,since they have should out most of the Halloween inventory by then , and rather focus on selling (Krampus save us all) Christmas decor .
What are your thoughts on Halloween decor not being available in October?
I feel like it’s a bit of a tradeoff. I’m always excited when Halloween décor shows up ridiculously early at stores, and a lot of the stores that do this are craft stores. People tend to shop for craft supplies well before the actual season because it takes time to make things! If that means October is a sparser on the Halloween décor, I get it. Honestly, by the time we get to mid-October anyway, I’m not going to stores as frequently because they are SO many other things to do.
That’s also why I’ve been making an effort to seek out more small businesses online to follow and shop with! I love that they do Halloween all year long for us spooky kids.
