Ooooh, Halloween! I have always loved ~spooky things,~ and Halloween is tied with the first day of summer for my favorite day. I’ve tracked down plenty of Halloween-y activities, from creepy shows to Rocky Horror to an open tequila bar, which can always turn out pretty scary. Have fun, and beware the devil! (that’s the typical Halloween warning, right?)

Are you one of those weirdos who sings along with Disney songs whenever you’re down, knowing that they’ll be exactly the lift you need to not throw yourself down a flight of stairs (spooky)? If so, sing along with cover band The Mermen as they make their way through the Disney catalogue, lubed up with some delicious Disney-inspired cocktails.
