The day is often associated with orange and black, and is strongly associated with symbols like the jack-o'-lantern. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, pranks, reading scary stories, and watching horror films.

For young and old, Halloween is a real treat. We have many Halloween books and movies for children and adults here at the library. We have many of the scary movies that you’re looking for to create a fang-tastic night: Saw movies, the Boogey-man’s, The Haunting of Molly Hartley, The Happening, the Mirrors and many more horror movies to chill you to the bone. Borrow some free horror movies from the library, buy some soda pop and popcorn and invite some ghoul friends over to your place for a Gh’oul time. Eat, drink and be scary. You’re sure to have a Hallo-scream!

These treats are great to fix up for company and to hand out also. Just wrap each individual treat in plastic wrap. You can make these up to three days in advance.

·                        8 cups popcorn

·                        1 cup candy corn

·                        1 bag of marshmallows

·                        1/4 cup butter - plus extra to grease hands

In a large mixing bowl pour in candy corn and popcorn. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Then melt marshmallows, stirring constantly. When the marshmallows are melted, pour over the popcorn and candy corn. Mix together with a large spoon. Be sure candy corn gets mixed in as it weights more than the popcorn and tends to go to the bottom of the bowl. When cool enough to handle, grease hands with butter and begin forming 2-inch balls. Makes 15 - 20 balls.

Remember your library has the resources that you need to help you to create a bootiful Halloween. We at the library hope you all have a Spooktakular good time in whatever it is that you do for Halloween. Until next time, I witch you a safe and Happy Halloween!!
