31 Days of Halloween

[impy]

Prompt 1: Decoration. Probably one of my favorite things I've picked up in the last few years. During the off season it lives in my room. The owl pumpkin is heavy and can be used as a deadly weapon if your aim is good enough and it came from work a couple of years ago. The kitty is from a friendly coworker. :)


1. The smell of pumpkin guts or rotting leaves?
Y'know, I'm sure I know what they smell like but I couldn't tell you what rotting leaves smell like. So... pumpkin guts?

2. Sweet or salty pumpkin seeds?
Salty, but only a smidge. I really should try sweet ones soon.

3. Store bought or pumpkin patch pumpkins?
After the year of the great pumpkin shortage I am not that picky. However, I do enjoy the pumpkin patch and all that comes with it, so if forced to choose I'll go with that.

4. Wool or knit sweaters?
Fuck wool. Fuck it hardcore.

5. Halloween party or exploring haunted places?
Haunted. Places! But I never get to go on those trips because it's always Friday or Saturday when people get the idea and I work them. :(

6. Candy corn or mellowcreme pumpkins?
I love them both, but I like the pumpkins just a smidge more.

7. Apple cider donuts or pumpkin donuts?
Apple cider, I guess? I'll have to do a proper taste test one of these days.

8. Apple pie or pumpkin pie?
If the pumpkin pie can be the chiffon pumpkin pie Mom makes, that is my choice forever and always. But standard pumpkin pie is only tolerable if I can cover it in whipped topping so apple pie otherwise.

9. Scary costume or something silly?
Silly! I love it when people bring their puns out of hiding for Halloween.

10. Still, silent nights or rainy, windblown ones?
For Halloween itself, I'd rather still and silent, but in general for fall? Gimme your blustery goodness.

11. Hocus Pocus or Halloweentown?
Halloweentown, I think.

12. Witches or ghosts?
Usually witches, but I love them both.

13. Raking leaves or climbing trees?
I'm not a big tree climber because our trees aren't exacly made for climbing... but I'd rather give that a whirl again than do yard work. :P

14. Ouija boards or ghost stories around a campfire?
I've only used an actual Ouija board once but my friends and I did get a fair amount of use out of the board of doom (not the official name) and honestly I'd probably pick that if it meant I could get my Ari back.

15. Frankenweenie or The Corpse Bride?
Original Frankenweenie. No contest.

16. October or November?
October!

17. Black cats or owls?
Black cats. ♥

18. Fireplace or candlelight?
Candlelight.

19. Monster movies or their classic novels?
Movies because I'll never be able to forget Kate trying to ~dramatically~ read Dracula. But it's not like either is a bad option here.

20. Carve or paint pumpkins?
Carve, you heathen. Though I hate the gutting part because my hand cramps.
