"My favorite holiday--Halloween--is upon us! And lucky for me, it&amp;#x27;s Birthday Boy&amp;#x27;s favorite as well. We are celebrating tonight by visiting the annual Great Jack O&amp;amp;#8217;Lantern Blaze at Croton-on-Hudson. The event features more than 4,000 meticulously hand-carved pumpkins, and a slew of other creepy attractions! I&amp;amp;#8217;m really excited, and it&amp;amp;#8217;s definitely on my list of must-do Halloween activities (along with warm cider, candy apples and pumpkin picking).However, BB has a different take on this festive day of ghouls and ghosts--he likes getting scared! So, last night, we went to a zombie movie double feature at the Avon Theatre in Stamford (his idea). After four hours of hearing &amp;amp;#8220;BRAINS!&amp;amp;#8221; and watching hoards of undead cannibals feast on the living, I&amp;#x27;m still not getting it. Halloween Costumes: Sara and I back in high school, Birthday Boy dressed as a Zombie for Zombiecon (I did his makeup!) and my winning costume last year! St. Pauli Girl Maybe it&amp;amp;#8217;s a guy thing? At first, I was super worried because I&amp;#x27;m not into scary movies, but BB assured me everything would be fine. Turns out he was right: Even with the guts and gore, the movies--Return of the Living Dead and Day of the Dead--just weren&amp;#x27;t that frightening. More than anything, they were hilariously kitschy, with horrible acting to boot! Still, it was a fun date, with buttered popcorn and hand-holding. He was really happy I came with him, and it was actually our first movie date ever. I was one of only three girls in the entire theatre--single guys like whoa! In the future, he promised to sit through a girly activity or a sappy double feature of my choice (Notebook and Legally Blonde anyone?). Problem is, I love guy movies, just not horror films, so I&amp;#x27;ll have to come with something really good. Now I just have to figure out what to be for Halloween. BB and I are considering a couple&amp;#x27;s costume. Any suggestions? P.S. I&amp;amp;#8217;ve been sharing my Netflix free streaming service with BB and check out the movies he&amp;amp;#8217;s been watching over the last month. Looks like someone has zombies on the brain! Zombies of Mass Destruction Return of the Living Dead 2 Dead Meat Deadgirl Let Sleeping Corpses Lie Dead Snow The Last House on the Left Puppet Master City of the Living Dead The Evil Dead Let the Right One In Redneck Zombies What are your favorite Halloween traditions?
