Hey folks! I hope you all are doing well and staying safe. I am so sorry that I haven’t been posting for a while (once again, I have been busy oops). I might starting posting only on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but that topic is for another day.
Moving on, one thing I love to do with my mom and younger brother is engaging activities!
I have also been planning activities for some clubs I am part of, so I think it’s kinda obvious that I love doing all sorts of fun and interative activities!
Although, most of the activities I have been planning are virtual and most of them are related to helping the planet (blog post on that coming later) and books, I have tried my best to see some Halloween related ones too.
Note: These activities are not the most original and have probably been done before.
Leaf painting.
For this all you’re gonna need is a canvas (or some paper), leaves, and paint. All you have to do is put the paint on the leaf and press it on the canvas/paper.
2. Vampire pumpkin.
Now, this is more of a pumpkin carving idea but I think it’s so cute! All you do is carve out the bottom part of a pumpkin (preferbally a small one), insert fake vampire teeth, and glue on some eyes!
3. Ghost banner.
For this one all you need is some paper, a pencil, and scissors. All you have to do is trace out a ghost, cut it out, and voila!
4. Colorful roses.
This may not be that Halloween themed, but can help contribute to a darker theme. All you need is some paper and scissors. Here is the tutorial.
5. Volcanic pumpkin.
This one is a great science experiment for kids and is so fun to watch! All you need is a carved pumpkin or a toilet paper roll, hydrogen peroxide, dry yeast, dish soap, and food color (optional). Here is the tutorial for it.
6. Spider pumpkin.
This is another pumpkin one, but all you need for this craft is a pumpkin, black paint, googly eyes, and chenille. All you need to do is paint the pumpkin black, cut the chenille into tiny pieces, glue and glue the googly eyes and chenille. Check out this article for more steps and the final picture!
I hope you all enjoyed this! I’m sorry that this may have been a sort blog post, but I promise I have more in store! Please remember that you are loved and will forever be valid.
Hey folks! I know my last post might have been quite a bore since it was me talking about how I have been feeling. But, I am back.
So, for this post we’re going to be talking about some Halloween related movies and TV shows you can watch if you would like.
Note: These movies and TV shows might be a little oldand most of the ones I am going to be listing probably aren’t gonna be classics (sorry)
Phantom of the Megaplex. This movie isn’t really that scary or even scary at all. I watched this movie on Disney.
The central character, played by Taylor Handley, is Pete Riley, the 17-year-old assistant manager of the theater. He has to cope with malfunctioning equipment, disappearing staff, and a broken popcorn machine, among other headaches. He investigates to see if the troubles are coincidence or the result of sabotage by a mysterious “phantom”. The senior manager of the theater is played by Rich Hutchman, and Ricky Mabe, Julia Chantrey, Joanne Boland, J.J. Stocker, and Lisa Ng appear as other employees of the theater. Caitlin Wachs and Jacob Smith play the central character’s younger siblings, and Heather and Jennifer Bertram appear as his love interest and her friend.” – Wikipedia
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. The show is categorized as a horror show and so far it’s good and quite entertaining (I am on season 1). I am currently watching this on Netflix.
“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is set in the fictional town of Greendale. It is a dark coming-of-age story that includes horror and witchcraft. Sabrina Spellman must reconcile her dual nature as a half-Witch, half-mortal while fighting the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit.[1]” – Wikipedia
American Horror Story. This show is really entertaining and scary. If you are into that sort of stuff, you should totally check it out. This can also be seen on Netflix. You can watch this from every season, but the seasons are all connected in one way or another.
“This is a horror series in which every season tells a different story. The first season is about a haunted house and the family that has moved into it. The second season centers around an insane asylum and a man who is wrongly accused of murdering several women, including his wife. The third season tells the story of a coven of witches trying to figure out who their new “supreme” is. The fourth season is about a “Freak Show” and the lives of its performers. The fifth season is about the employees and guests at the Hotel Cortez, a building made as a secret torture chamber in the 1920s. The sixth season is about a farmhouse near Roanoke, North Carolina, that is besieged by the ghosts of the infamous lost colonists and other strange happenings.”—Erica Adina Amaral (imbd.com)
Truth or Dare. This is an averagely scary movie, but it’s good. This can also be viewed on Netflix.
“Olivia Barron is a college senior who is seen by others as a good girl who always puts others’ needs before her own. During her last spring break, although she initially plans to build houses with Habitat for Humanity, her best friend Markie convinces her to come to Mexico with her friends instead. At a bar, Olivia meets a man named Carter who invites them to go drinking at an abandoned church. There, Carter suggests they play truth or dare. During the game, their friend Tyson reveals that Olivia has a secret crush on Lucas, Markie’s boyfriend, which she denies. Carter admits that he tricked them into playing a supernatural version of the game and warns them to do whatever the game asks or they will die.” – Wikipedia
The Bye Bye Man. I absolutely love this movie! It is a great mystery and was quite interesting. This movie can be watched on Netflix.
“In 1969, a mass murder occurs in Madison, Wisconsin during which a man kills people on his block. As he shoots the neighbors, he continuously asks if anyone spoke about “the name” which cannot be said. He also repeats the same thing over and over: “Don’t say it, don’t think it; don’t think it, don’t say it.” – Wikipedia
Sinister. In my opinion, this wasn’t that scary but it was still a good movie. I also watched this on Netflix
“True crime writer Ellison Oswalt moves into a home with his wife Tracy, their son, Trevor, and their daughter, Ashley. Ellison moved into a home where a family was murdered and intends to use their case as the basis for his new book. He hopes his research reveals the fate of the Stevenson family’s fifth member, Stephanie, who disappeared following the murders.” – Wikipedia
Girl vs. Monster. This movie is more for older kids (probably ranging from 10-12) but nonetheless a great movie. I loved this growing up and would totally recommend it to anyone! This can be viewed on Disney+.
“A teen girl goes on a mission to recapture a dangerous monster that she accidentally released before it can do harm to her parents.” – imdb.com
Goosebumps. This is quite a spooky series that my 5th grade class would always watch! Although, this is a show for children, just be careful since some kids might not like it. The series can be found on Netflix.
“Goosebumps is a Canadian/American horroranthologytelevision series based on R. L. Stine‘s best-selling Goosebumps book series. It is an anthology of stories about tweens and young teens finding themselves in creepy and unusual situations, typically involving supernatural elements or the occult.”– Wikipedia
Veronica. This is a Spanish movie (I’m pretty sure) but there are captions and it is a great movie. Also one of my favorites. This can be found on Netflix.
“The film opens in 1991 in medias res, with emergency services responding to a call from a young girl. She sounds panicked and screams about her brother Antoñito, and something “coming to get him”, before the call cuts off.” – Wikipedia
Annabelle. This is, in my opinion, one of the classics that I grew up watching and was so obsessed with! This can also be found in Netflix
“A couple begins to experience terrifying supernatural occurrences involving a vintage doll shortly after their home is invaded by satanic cultists.” – Wikipedia
Cult of Chucky. This movie has to be one of the classics too! And can be found on Netflix.
“Chucky returns to terrorize his human victim, Nica. Meanwhile, the killer doll has some scores to settle with his old enemies, with the help of his former wife.”– imbd.com
Supernatural. This may not be that spooky but nonetheless it is a supernatural show (that the show indicates) and is a great binge! I am pretty sure all the seasons are on Netflix.
“Two brothers follow their father’s footsteps as hunters, fighting evil supernatural beings of many kinds, including monsters, demons and gods that roam the earth” – imbd.com
The Vampire Diaries. Once again, this may not be spooky either but still an amazing show if you are into supernatural stuff. This TV show can also be binged on Netflix!
“The lives, loves, dangers and disasters in the town, Mystic Falls, Virginia. Creatures of unspeakable horror lurk beneath this town as a teenage girl is suddenly torn between two vampire brothers.” – imbd.com
Anyway, I hope you all liked this! I am sorry if this may not be your style but it’s okay because I will try to publish more posts on other things that won’t be Halloween themed ( I will try to do both types of posts).
Feel free to comment what you think of these shows/movies and some more suggestions. Remember that you are loved and will forever be loved.
Please try to hydrate and have a nice, fulfilling meal. Thank you for reading and have an amazing day/night!
Another thing I love about October is the writing challenge! I always try to complete one, but usually don’t find much success. But, since I have been trying to get better at achieving goals. So, here are some prompts I am going to try this month.

Hey folks, sorry I haven’t been posting much, but I’m back and am gonna try to update as much as I can. Now without much due here we go!
So. a new start to a new month is beginning. Yay!
How are you planning to make the best out of it?
Let’s all come together and plan what we might planned for the coming month. I know for me, personally October is a special month. Aside from the cool weather and all the pumpkin latte flavored things, there’s lots of birthdays -including mine and Halloween!
Its already obvious that I have a lot plan for this month and with so much already planned, how am I gonna keep up with my goals? Will I be able to achieve them?
Yes, I will! I never let a busy or tight schedule determine whether I achieve something or not.
You are allowed to take things slow.
Now, let’s all get our journals and plan!
A few of my goals for this month are- Finish the Halloween book I started and learn how to play the guitar and how to sew. ( I know I’m aiming high, let’s see what I achieve).
One thing I personally like to do is break them down.
I have planned my next few weeks for this month and have set weekly goals for myself to achieve.
Here’s one last thing before we go….daily affirmations! This might not work for everyone but, it does for me. Here a couple i’m gonna be practicing this month-
My pace does not determine my progress
My feelings are valid
My past does not define me
Even a small amount of progress is progress
I am allowed to take a break
I hope you all enjoyed this! Feel free to leave your goals for this month and some affirmations you might be practicing this month! (only if you want)
Remember that you are loved and will forever be valid. I hope you have an amazing day/night and don’t forget to hydrate!
Safe space
