Unmasking Halloween

You don't have to wear a mask at Halloween and you don't always have to follow traditions. More and more people are getting creative each year and not sticking to the tired custom of picking out some costume sold at those retail shops with a paper mask attached to their heads which can be a bit confining, especially if you are into actually trekking up and down those streets trying to keep up the traditional Trick-or-Treat custom. If you have the kids you have to deal with, then why not just have a party for them instead of working the streets? Just a suggestion. I mean, let's not just make the retail stores happy every year, it's time to think about yourself and creating some fun memories that doesn't involve the same stale stuff year in and year out. I've got some suggestions here for a more vintage Halloween, even taking inspiration from some of the old Gothic films and adding some Edgar Allan Poe touches here and there around your home for the Fall season. 

For your Halloween party, create your own table filled
with pumpkins or anything that inspires you.
I like the black and white theme with the orange and white pumpkins.

Expecting any spirits of the dead? Then set out a tray
of their favorite things and they will surely be grateful.

Decorating your mantel and fireplace is a good way
to show your creativity without disrupting the whole house.
You can easily switch out the Halloween stuff for a Fall motif.

This is a simple design anyone can do. Add a few
pumpkins for your Halloween centerpiece and into
Thanksgiving. Then you can switch the colors of the
candle and wreath or add any type of flowers you like as
you head into Winter and the xmas season.

What about movie night for Halloween? A few vintage suggestions might be just what you need to settle in for a night of chills. If you can get them, I highly recommend these cinema classics.

Have fun this season and never run with the crowd into those same ol' retail shops. Creativity and your own unique expression is the spice of life as you conjure up a few spirits to inspire your holiday style.
