“…Those airplane bottles, they’re adorable, right? It looks like Jack Daniels had a litter, right? Like how could having 10 of these get me in trouble? They're fun size. That's why I pass them out at Halloween… Only ONE.” - Jim Gaffigan, The Bourbon Set

On @austinkleon.bsky.social’s “100 Things That Made My Year” coming in at #78, was Halloween:
“Carving pumpkins. Sending the 13-year-old off into the Halloween night to trick or treat with his friends from school.”
“It’s a big Halloween bowl of retro candy that invites you to remember when, one sugary bite at a time.”

I have a tradition on November 1st of taking a walk until I find a piece of discarded Halloween candy wrapper and take a photograph of it.
2025’s winner is an Orbit gum. Spearmint.
And that’s a wrap on the 2025 Halloween season. (Pun not intended but then intended.)

As I catch up on all the 10/31 materials—-here’s a short called “Monster Manor” that was released by Sora/OpenAI.
Commentary: I like the idea—but can’t help but think Nick Park & Aardman would have done a better job with the comedic timing…which is notably off.

In case I don’t get to tell you later, enjoy the day… relish the night… and Happy Halloween. 🎃

Welp, it’s official. Today’s Halloween Google Doodle is my all time favorite.
Haunted House Pac-Man.
(Also, I’ve never had a better game of Pac-Man in my life.🎃)
Seriously: an image like this in my junk mail circulars this time of year makes me deliriously happy. The faded newsprint photo coloring, the bats, the font, the jack o’lantern pizza. Bliss.

A couple years ago I made a Halloween-parody version of the videotape from The Ring using that year’s snacks, cereal, buckets, etc. with a crowning achievement of getting a Sour Patch kid to leap off a table, practically (no AI). Enjoy. 🎃

I sampled some Ghirardelli Jack o’Lanterns Halloween candy.
Gain a sugar high vicariously, won’t you?

I have so many digital things, in so many digital places, I had to create a digital drawer to put all the digital things in so I can check one digital place and remember to watch them all. Digitally. 🤓🎃
