There are two types of spooktastic Halloween lovers on October 31st: The ones who adore a costume contest, rolling up to this year's Halloween bash with a brand new, fully kitted-out ensemble, and then there's me… The introverted horror movie lover who'd rather stay inside and re-watch a slasher, ignoring the raps at the door of children begging for candy.
Halloween feels like the one time a year when introverts can make up a simple excuse to stay home. If you're doing a horror movie marathon any other time of the year, it feels strange, but during Halloweekend, nobody bats an eye (pun intended
). You're invited to stay wrapped up in your covers like a mummy with the lights on low, a candle burning in the distance and your eyes glued to the screen. I know that my introverted self is happy to cancel plans on Halloweekend, simply because I love the comforts of my home and can finally–with no guilt–kick back with my favorite pumpkin-flavored treats and a Día de Muertos-themed glass of wine.
