I don’t remember hearing the term “Spooky Season” much before this year. I suspect I have not been paying attention. I rather like it. According to Google, there are instances of the term being used in newspapers in the early 1900s referring to a season when mysterious events happened. But our current use of it as the time around Halloween dates to the 1990s or so and became more common after 2000. Although, like I said I don’t really remember hearing the term until fairly recently.
I’m seeing a lot of people decorating with skeletons in my neighborhood. Really, really tall figures seem to be quite popular this year.
I thought this Dead and Breakfast sign quite clever. Nope, not staying there!
And I found this creepy doll in a CVS fairly recently. Not letting that into my house!
I hope you all have a good Spooky Season!
