It’s Halloween!
Halloween 2020 will definitely be different than usual but fear not, we’ve got you covered. You won’t have to light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts or anything, as they did in the old Celtic festivals when the holiday began. But we do have some fun suggestions to make your Halloween weekend devilishly awesome nonetheless.
Start your Halloween date by casting a spell on your sweetheart with our Halloween Chills playlist.
Halloween Cocktails & Nosh
With Halloween falling on a Saturday this year, you can extend your hocus pocus over a couple of days. Kick it off with a few spirited potions. Visit the amazing delish.com for their fabulous Poison Apple Cocktail recipe. This one’s all about the ghoulish glitter
How about an Eyeball Martini?
Stuffing an olive right smack in the middle of a cocktail onion will give you the most wicked, floating eyeball brew! A big shout-out to sprinklesandsprouts.com for this ghoulish recipe.
Team these cocktails up with iamafoodblog.com‘s awesome recipe for one-pot creamy pumpkin mac & cheese. Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm. You can never get enough pumpkin…or mac…or cheese!
Spooky Movies
So now that we’ve covered the food and drinks…if staying home is your thing this year, may we suggest a macabre movie marathon? Any of these classic horror films fit perfectly for a night of scaring yourselves silly. Get the blanket ready in case you need to cover your eyes or just watch between your fingers!

Monster Month in Elora
October is Monster Month in Elora, Ontario. The entire village really gets into the spirit with ghost walks and cemetery tours, tarot and oracle readings, and Halloween sculptures scattered around town in the form of the Twilight Zoo. Stop by the Elora Mill or the Shepherd’s Pub for a scarily-chilling cocktail and a bite to eat.
Whatever you and your Boo get up to this Halloween, make sure to have fun and stay safe!
