Here on the East Coast, Halloween is an especially
frightening time, thanks to
Frankenstorm. Many areas are still without power and coastal
damage is immense, causing some cities and states to reschedule the holiday
altogether. Luckily, Philadelphia was not hit as hard as many other areas, but
for me, a quiet night at home still feels like the most fitting way to observe
this scarier than usual occasion.
My prescription for a stay-at-home celebration of moderate
proportions? A festive drink,
a pumpkin-stuffed meal,
and a classic scary movie (think
The Exorcist,
Rosemary’s Baby,
Psycho,
and the like.) For those without power? Up the creepy-shadows factor with lots
of strategically placed candles, substitute a Ouija board (or rounds of monster-themed
Scrabble) for the movie, and double up on the drinks. (You've earned it!)
Here are a few of my suggestions for the evening...
However you decide to celebrate, here's hoping that your Halloween is (safe) and happy! Cheers!
