It’s the day after Halloween, and while many are taking down decorations, clearing away candy bowls and putting away costumes, savvy shoppers are taking advantage of the plentiful after-Halloween sales. From costumes to decorations, shopping after Halloween sales can ensure you find items you’ll continue to use for multiple seasons to come at an incredibly low price. Just about every store that sold Halloween items will have a clearance or mark down section now that the holiday is over and the rush to get Thanksgiving items to the forefront is on. Some of the most popular after-Halloween sales include great discounts on items such as hats, wigs, costumes, table settings, candy bowls, jack-o-lantern and pumpkin decorations and home decor. While this is a good time to find great markdowns on items such as makeup and candy, it isn’t recommended to buy these items and save them for a year. Both candy and makeup might not expire within a year if they remain unopened, but they won’t b...

A long staple with Halloween, roasting pumpkin seeds is one family activity that everyone enjoys. It’s common practice to scoop out pumpkins then prepare pumpkin seeds for roasting and enjoying their tasty goodness. Not only are roasted pumpkin seeds delicious, but they are nutritious as well.

If the seeds appear to have any discoloration or mold they must be discarded immediately and not used.

I have no idea if any of these photos are under copyright or not. From the looks of it, they are old enough to have passed into the public domain, but I can't tell who the original source of the photos is. What I can tell, is that by performing a Google search for "scary old Halloween" photos, or "terrifying old Halloween costumes" or even "creepy old Halloween costumes," I found enough images to scare me more than any horror film of the 21st century ever could. Granted, I scare easy. I quit reading Stephen King novels at 18, when I read "It" before bedtime and had the most traumatizing nightmares of my life. I refuse to read anything by King and never, ever, ever would I select King as night reading. I turn my head from gruesome and bloody scenes in movie (think Law and Order and Dexter) and absolutely never, ever, ever watch "horror" films; though I have watched American Horror Story, which I find extremely creepy. So, wh...
