Halloween is the best! For me, it has marked the start of a more relaxed time of year, filled with fun get-togethers with family and friends. “Spirits” are lifted, and most look forward to spending time together.
The great thing about Halloween is that it doesn’t require any gifts or specific expectations – you can make it as simple or as elaborate as you want.
For the past decade, I’ve made it an annual tradition to create a Halloween Artwork – a themed photograph or two to share, each paired with a favorite caption. I’m not sure what ideas will inspire me this coming holiday, but here’s a look back at my favorites from the past 5 years:
2023 Composite:
“Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere. He’s gotta pick this one. He’s got to. I don’t see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one.”
— Charles M. Schulz (It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown)
2022 Composite:
“Tis now the very witching time of night, when churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out Contagion to this world.”
— William Shakespeare
2021 Self-portrait:
“Where there is no imagination, there is no horror.”
— Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes)
