Thank you for the suggestions :'D
I forgot I was going to make a new candycorn teaset x3 Thank you for reminding me
I had planned on it and then forgot


Thanks for the ideas xD
I think I have a Vampire hunting kit in the Halloween past limiteds. I think it was an event item that I didn't get around to putting up until recently.

Ooo~ I have a plan for that raven idea.~

I was considering remaking some of my old fall items. Kiwi suggested cider (or mentioned it at least)
and you've suggested soup x3 so I think I'll redo those 2. It's been a couple of years so those could use an update.

Thank you for the other ideas too :"D
That angler fish is creeeepy XD

Thank you for the suggestions :'D

I should go ahead and make a winter/new years suggestion thread so I can be thinking about those too xD Probably won't have a lot of time in December because of finals so I should think about them early

*nodnod* Yeah~ I think for high school/middle school, it's midterms. For college I think it's finals (because classes are only a semester long..at least where I am)

From wikipedia:

Halloween Celebrations Parades, festivals, costume parties, trick-or-treating/guising, carving pumpkins, ghost tours, haunted attractions, Hell houses, bonfires, divination, apple bobbing, fireworks displays

Pre-Christian influences

The Halloween holiday is commonly thought to have pagan roots, even though the etymology of the word is Christian.[11] Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, derived from the Old Irish Samuin meaning "summer's end".[11] Samhain was the first and the most important of the four quarter days in the medieval Irish and Scottish[12] calendar[13][14] and, falling on the last day of autumn, it was a time for stock-taking and preparation for the cold winter months ahead.[11] There was also a sense that this was the time of year when the physical and supernatural worlds were closest and magical things could happen.[13][14] To ward off these spirits, the Gaels built huge, symbolically regenerative bonfires and invoked the help of the gods through animal and perhaps even human sacrifice.[11] In the Western Isles of Scotland the Sluagh, or fairy host was regarded as composed of the souls of the dead flying through the air, and the feast of the dead at Hallowe'en was likewise the festival of the fairies.[15]
