The 17th Door: Locked Up

Today we have a guest post from Justin Rekt, who attended The 17th Door: Locked Up Haunted Experience in Fullerton, California. This haunted attraction is an intense, extreme haunt featuring 17 horrific rooms groups of approximately eight people have to survive. Each year has a different theme, this year they have moved from Irvine to a location in Fullerton with a hellish prison theme. Read about Justin's experience below!

Halloween 2017 at 99 Cents Only Stores

Halloween 2017 shopping at the 99 Cents Only Stores!

Halloween month is in full swing, and there is so many great Halloween items out there this year! To be honest, there is so much awesomeness this year that I am way behind on posts. I will try to be catching up over the next few days to finish up showing you all the gruesome goodies I've seen in the stores I've visited, starting with the 99 Cents Only Stores!

I visited the 99 Cents Only Stores back in September and found they had some really neat stuff. Most of their items were only $0.99, but they had a few "premium" items that were more expensive (but still I good deal). I wanted to share what I found during my visit there in August (oops, I didn't realize it was that long ago). You can see some of the items that 99 Cents Only Stores have for Halloween 2017 below:

Watch Now on Netflix: Raw

Stop everything you're doing and go watch Raw on Netflix now! It is one of my favorite films I've seen this year, and I am so excited that it is finally on Netflix so it can reach a wider audience. This French-Belgian film was brave, bold, and had plenty of cringe-worthy moments throughout.

Halloween 2017 at Party City

Look at all these adorable Halloween signs at Party City!

Party City keeps upping their game every year for Halloween and it is definitely worth a stop for Halloween decor and party supplies! They have a surprisingly large selection of everything from outdoor and indoor decor, lighting, party supplies, costumes, and even candy, plus so much more! I few weeks ago I visited one of their stores to pick up a few things for a collaboration I did with them (more on that at the bottom of this post). I had a blast wandering through the aisle looking at their big selection, check out what they had when I visited below:

Trader Joe's 2017 Seasonal Pumpkin Items

I look forward to Trader Joe's seasonal pumpkin food items every autumn, and they rarely disappoint! They have a great selection of pumpkin and autumn food, many of which are vegan. I start stalking their stores for pumpkin items in mid-September, and when I finally find all their seasonal stuff out, I go a little nuts buying all my faves!

My local Trader Joe's finally put out most of their autumn food items, and while there aren't many new items, I was stoked to be able to stock up on my old favorites. Check out all the vegan pumpkin foods and other fun autumn items I found at Trader Joe's this year below:

31 Days of Halloween Movies

Join me for 31 Days of Halloween Movies! I'll be watching a movie that is 

Halloween-themed or evokes a Halloween and/or autumn feel this October.

You know what a pet peeve of mine is? When people put together Halloween movie lists which just end up being lists of a bunch of horror movies that have nothing to do with Halloween! I watch horror movies all year round, so these "Halloween" movie lists make no sense to me and annoy me.

When I make a Halloween movie list, I only include movies that actually have Halloween in them! I want films that give me those Halloween feels, that feature autumn foliage, trick-or-treating, costumes, jack-o-lanterns, and all the other Halloween things! Doesn't that make much more sense than just a random list of horror movies?

Since I keep seeing so many horror movie lists for October, I decided that I would share my own list of Halloween-themed movies I plan on watching this October. I plan on watching at least one a day the whole month of October (I already watched my first pick yesterday). I have selected movies set during Halloween or that evoke a Halloween feel. Many of the films I chose are horror movies, but there are also kid-friendly ones, a few comedies, and even a TV show (that basically plays like a movie) to keep things interesting and fun.

If you want to surround yourself with autumn atmosphere, join me in watching these movies that are either set in or around Halloween or evoke an autumn atmosphere. Check out my 31 Halloween movie selections below!
