"While We Wait"

"The Waiting Game"

Well I knew she would go and quickly start taking pictures, just didn't think about how quickly she would finish the film. 

She knew what the camera was thanks to the movie Bolt.

Photo From Walt Disney Studios

The Camera reads 10 photos but the package only had 8 and she has taken 7 so far.

I guess to make something clear... the film goes for about $20 and I'm cheap, there I said it....

I suppose I can buy her another pack of film for Halloween if that really is the last one but I guess we will wait. I know that this is not very Halloween-ish but I kind of had to explain why my posts are hit and miss.

So Ill end it with this,

Day #5 Another Great Movie
"CASPER"

Now I will start off by "Not saying that Christina Ricci was my pretend girlfriend back then" because the comment I made about Sarah from Hocus Pocus didn't go to well with the Wife. All I can say is that I bet I was not the only one with a crush on her back in the day. Wait I better stop before these posts turn into movies i watched because of the actresses. No that's not why i watched it 

besides that would most likely be her reaction to seeing me in person. This movie is another that hits close to home in the area of place, time and weather.....it was in the Fall, seeing all those brown leaves just made me feel all cozy inside knowing that it would be getting colder here soon and knowing rain would also be in the forecast just made it better. If you're like me you loose yourself in movies so much that when you watch a movie like this one with dark cool weather that as soon as the movie is over you look out your window and see that it's bright and sunny outside you get a little ticked off.....Right! Right!.....No? oh well just me i guess.

This movie is about a father and daughter pair that move into a huge house that is apparently inhabited by the worst ghosts imaginable not even the ghostbusters can eradicate them so they call a Dr. that can apparently talk to spirits to help them out. Who wants the ghost gone and why? Well your just going to have to watch the movie, its a good movie....Go grab the family, cat or dog or whomever and watch it.

Dan Aykroyd makes an appearance as his character
Ray Stantz from Ghostbusters.

It also stars Bill Pullman as Kat's father Dr.James Harvey, plus many more cameos of great actors of the time.

Halloween Countdown Day #4

"Candy Haul"

Well What can i say but I think that kids enjoy Halloween for the candy tho' i may be wrong. HA! yeah right hell when i have kids i think ill use them as an excuse to go out and get my own bag of candy, no i know what you're thinking I'm just going to take theirs....well yes and no i remember

Some of my favorite candy i just don't see anymore I'm not sure if its because i got to old to trick 'r treat or the fact that i just stopped eating candy in all. I stopped because, well I hate to say it but I didn't listen to my parents and didn't brush regularly, but i couldn't resist the dang candy. Some of my favorites were hard candy with something inside like the strawberry flavored candy wrapped in strawberry wrapper  or that cherry flavored candy that had bubble gun inside of it, I bet you were like me and didn't wait to finish most of the outer candy and just crunched your way to the center. Those were just some of the candy that I hoped to see when I poured out my bag of treats on the living room floor at the end of night.

What are These?

While still on the topic of Halloween candy I will now talk about the stuff that I didn't want to see in my bag, that stuff some grownups from another neighborhood probably gave to kids that were not from their street. It was that type of candy that if you put your bag of sweets in the closet and forgot about it and found it when digging for whatever it is you are looking for but know you will never find, but instead stumble across the bag and the candy would still look fresh and edible.......but you won,t eat it.....will you?

Oh and for those that grew up in the south like me.......

this would have been the holy grail if found in your Halloween bag.

"Happy Memories"

Oh Yeah!  What was your favorite candy to get or hated to get? Let me know in the comments below.

      

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day Three

"Halloween Countdown Day Three"

This is one movie that is a must watch or at least one you cant help but watch either because its in the spirit of Halloween or like A Christmas Story in December it plays all month long. Something about this movie puts me in the Halloween spirit, i guess its the time frame the movie was filmed or at least they did a great job at making it feel like fall. I also takes me back to my school days.

This movie like some other movies in our collection is only watched in the month of Halloween, well maybe once in a full moon in the middle of the year. It's just that I cant enjoy watching a movie like this around the time that we are going camping its just not right, though I wouldn't mind Sarah scaring me in my tent......

A bit about the movie..... Hocus Pocus, is a 1993 film that tells the story of three witches who are brought back to life on Halloween night to steal souls of children in order to live longer. It stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as the wicked Sanderson sisters.

Well I'm a day late, but its my first time so bare with me. I enjoy the Halloween season because its the first time we feel cooler weather and the best part is it marks the start of decorating season.

What is decorating season you ask well its that time of the year when the holidays are just around the corner and decorations get taken out and put up. We put up some of our Halloween decorations yesterday late in the evening after a episode of The Walking Dead, trying to catch the wife up on the series as she was a late bloomer to the show, it was dark when we stepped out to put them up she didn't want any lights on so no one can see the decorations until we were done. A bit of advice use some light when putting that fake spider web up it gets a bit crazy.

I'll leave you with that to think about, in another note i will be posting a bit of everything in this blog
it will be Halloween themed as its the month of October it will also count down to that important day of the month and will follow suit with the other holidays and months to come. I also have a Faceboook Page that shows the toys of my past and maybe yours to i have giveaways and other cool stuff from time to time so stop by and say hi....oh and don't forget to LIKE my Page.
