Make your October Spookier!

List created by Greene_TamarK

I love, love, love Halloween! I have been known to dress my dogs up in costumes, and I spend all of October watching scary and/or Halloween movies, listening to Bette Midler singing "I Put a Spell on You," making Halloween cards, and reading Halloween/spooky-themed books. I figure you do similar things, and I thought I'd share some of the library's great Halloween spooky/cute collection to aid you in creating your spooky vibe. May all your October days be frightful!
