🎃 Halloween Has Arrived, Boos & Ghouls 🎃

Wishing all DU'ers and their loved ones a spooktacular and safe Halloween/Samhain of 2025.

It was enjoyable but at times challenging to create the Halloween countdowns.

Today's "Halloween Has Arrived" is a bit image heavy.

🧛👻🎃🧟

The infamous "Kraken House" New Orleans, LA

A creative Jack and Wendy Torrance (The Shining) Halloween costume (source unknown)

Trick or treating in the 1950's

Not really into those movies now. Find them too repetitive.

Unlike posting here on the forum. Always new content every day. No recycled jokes!

I LOVE the image of Laurie Strode with her murderous brother, Michael Myers!!

I've really enjoyed your Halloween countdown, and appreciate the entertainment so much.
