Finally, it's time to start writing about my favorite holiday, Halloween! This is when I start my series of blogs to help you find all the Things you need to haunt your yard and your house, plan your costume and make the most of the Spookiest Day of the Year.

So, without further ado, here are some of my favorite Things for Halloween so far:

Zombie Things: Yes, zombies are still a Thing. You know The Walking Dead isn't going off the air any time soon and zombie movies World War Z, Warm Bodies and Wyrmwood are box office home runs. Which means more zombies, more zombies, more zombies.  Mess up your table with this set of zombie-fied salt and pepper shakers.


Makeup Things: You can't be convincing in any costume without super realistic makeup. Learn to use "paints, molds, silicone, and hair to age, mutilate, rot, and mutate" from the Hollywood experts. From gaping head wounds, to burns, to zombie-fied flesh, this book is a Halloween must-have.

Nerdy Costume Things: At the risk of basically going as myself this year, I'm considering picking up these nerdy Things. The blue suspenders flash or blink at the press of a button and, when you add one-size-fits all braces to the ever-popular nerd glasses, what a great costume!

If you don't like any of my favorite Things, you could always go as one of the political beasts this year.

If you dare.

See you next week,
Bobby
