Halloween

Organizers of this year's Haunted Mansions of Albion Halloween attraction recently held auditions for this year's crew of monsters, ghouls, spirits, and demented characters, and are preparing to leave the lights off for brave visitors in less than two weeks.

Last year I wore my Pennywise costume from the Stephen King film It. I brought a few kids to tears at the annual Trick or Treat on Bishs' Street gathering.

Halloween is one of the best holidays and Twin Falls is great at celebrating it, but there are a few ways it could be better and give residents some scary moments.

There are a ton of haunted attractions around the area.

With almost four months to go, is it too soon for stores to pull out Christmas decorations and if so, when is the appropriate time?

August is the pre-Halloween season for many Idaho fanatics of the masked celebration. My Twin Falls neighbors go big every year in the decorations department, and right now there are some exciting things on the horizon that can aid with planning.

If you are one of those people who love Halloween, the Haunted Mansions of Albion are thinking about opening for one weekend only this summer.

Halloween can be a night for teens to get into some trouble. It is almost expected, but for grown adults to go around and cause some trouble, it is a little ridiculous. In this video it appears two grown adults literally steal the Halloween candy off the porch of this woman and throw it all along her driveway.

So I don't want to come off too mean. I know kids will be kids, especially on Halloween. That being said, I did in fact catch you, the two teenagers who stole my Halloween decorations and then hit my car with whatever stick-like item you were carrying. It is all on my doorbell and yes authorities have been called.

We would like to thank each and everyone one of you who brought family and friends out to this year's event. Your donations are going to help feed a good number of people throughout the Magic Valley.

Going on today and tomorrow, November 1st and November 2nd you can go sell your unopened Halloween candy. The annual candy buyback event goes to a great cause and you could walk out the door with up to $10 dollars.

If you are looking for a last minute costume, maybe you didn't think you were going to do anything this year and then out of nowhere you got invited to a mandatory costume party, we have some Idaho themed costumes that are easy to pull off and to make.
