Did I scare you??
No?
Oh good, you must not frighten easily.
Speaking of spooky & frightening things...
Who's really looking forward to Halloween?
Anybody just not feelin' Halloween and really wish it wouldn't happen every October 31st??
For those of you that say you don't like Halloween or are even a little scared of it...
You may just be suffering from:
Samhainophobia...
which happens to be the fear of Halloween.
With this phobia, people may experience anxiety when they THINK or even EXPERIENCE anything related to Halloween.
Really??
So some people are actually terrified of...
Ghosts. Goblins. Pumpkins. Witches. Candy???
Well, If those things scare you; this will definitely scare you...
In my city this year, you just might see a bunch of mini 'Taylor Swifts' from all of her different Era's running around our neighborhood singing...
'Shake it Off' & 'Look What You Made Me Do' as loud as they possibly can while going house to house looking for tricks, but mainly treats?
I'm talking about my 3 daughters, their cousins and my wife.
But the real scary part of this Swiftie Halloween isn't going to be the 'Folklore Era' or even the 'Midnights Era'...
It's going to be ME, trying to grow out a mustache between now and then since I was lucky enough to be voted by my wife and my daughters to be Tay Tay's Boyfriend, NFL Superstar Travis Kelce...
Me with a mustache??
Now that is gonna be scary! lol
------------------------
Ok, now that you know what Samhainophobia is..
If you have it, think you have it, or just mad at me cause you're not a Swiftie...
-----STOP-----READING----NOW-----
Cause we are about to enter....
The Best Halloween Store Ever!
Ehhhh....that last line is a stretch, but it's the name of the place so just roll with it.
The back story...
My oldest, who is 6 years old saw that they had a Halloween store here in town so I made the ultimate promise, the "Pinky Promise" to take her after school the following day.
And believe me when I say this...
When I pinky promise....she never forgets!
So the next day, after I got home from work, we loaded everyone up and headed to the Halloween Store. (My two older daughters were so excited, you would have thought we were taking them to Disneyland).
Once we arrived, probably the best/coolest part of this place was the enormous Monsters right inside the doors (a zombie looking thing, a scary werewolf, a skeleton with a pumpkin head, a bat/gargoyle guy, just to name a few), which apparently you can rent??
My question is...
How the heck would you get them in your car??
They are like 25 feet tall!!
After you head in, take the escalator up and into a cool, kinda creepy, and definitely a little bizarre Halloween store.
It's like a garage sale with everything Halloween themed. Some stuff Is new, other stuff felt used...
Odd, but we went with it.
One thing my wife and I said to each other was, I definitely wouldn't want to be an employee there closing alone at the end of the night, talk about spooky! haha.
They did have tons of costumes, masks, hats, Halloween accessories, Halloween makeup and everything you might need to decorate your house (inside or out).
On top of the merchandise...there is a maze of some sort that you could go through for $10 bucks, that is of course if you're not scared!
I would have gone, but my excuse was, "I have the kids", you know, cause I'm not scared or anything ;)
Anyway...
To the locals of T.O., Newbury Park, Westlake Village and the surrounding area...
Come check it out if you are in need of a costume or need some accessories to complete your look.
Be safe this year, bring a flashlight and if it sounds like a Taylor Swift Concert is rapidly approaching...
Get ready to dance & dish over the candy!
Happy Halloween!!
