Wishing you all a happy (and creepy!) Hallowe’en/Samhain! Are you doing anything special to celebrate? Share in the comments….

For me, this year feels sombre. My lost loved ones are on my mind, so I’ll be honouring them today. I’ll probably also indulge in some movies: Nightmare Before Christmas for sure, and possibly something else, as well. Any suggestions for a film on the lighter side of the horror spectrum?

If I have time, I’d also like to make Pan de Muertos, AKA Bread of the Dead. If you haven’t tried it, Pan de Muertos, a lightly sweet bread, is traditional during Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). It’s usually shaped into skulls and bones, but you can make it in any shape that suits you. This recipe is very close to the one I use: Pan de Muertos.

  3. Joyeuse Hallowe’en! Louis Catorze spent his doing what only a vampire cat can do: going out in the raging storm, then occasionally stopping by to creep out the visiting kids. Hope you had a glorious time!

      2. Lol I have cats, including a black cat who was probably seeing spirits all day based on his weird behaviour. I also had Jack Skelliington and the vampires of Buffy and Angel. No complaints 🙂
