Fall is by far the best season. There's nothing not to love--you've got football, trees turning, cool days, and most importantly, Halloween! I spend practically all of September and October preparing for the big day. I love everything about Halloween. If you're ready to get into the Halloween spirit like me, here are ten steps to truly enhance your Halloween experience.

Step 1: Create a Halloween-themed playlist

Incase you don't feel like scouring spotify for amazingly spooky songs, I've already done it for you.

Step 2: Find a horror TV show that you can binge watch until the big day

Sleepy Hollow, The Exorcist, American Horror Story, The Walking Dead, or any other show that makes your skin crawl will do.

Step 3: Sacrifice a baby

Just kidding! Or am I?

Step 4: Decorate!

Do you even celebrate if you don't decorate?

Step 5: Carve the most frightening pumpkin on the block

The pumpkin is Mona Lisa. You are da Vinci.

Step 6: Breakout your black clothes

Nothing says Halloween like being decked out in head-to-toe black.

Step 7: Stock up on the good candy

Don't be the house that hands out raisins--or worse, the house that doesn't even hand out candy. If you deny children decent candy, you're basically sucker punching your eight-year-old-self.

Step 8: Brainstorm costume ideas

You should spend every day up until THE day planning your costume. You want to be the most original when you go out, don't you?

Step 9: HALLOWEEN MOVIES!

If Halloween movies was a legit genre, it would probably be my favorite. You've got your classic horror movies like Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, Dracula, Gremlins, and then you've got your cult comedies like Beetlejuice, Young Frankenstein, Ghostbusters, and Hocus Pocus. Come on, who doesn't love Hocus Pocus?

Step 10:

If you do everything I've listed, you should have Halloween Fever. Now all you have to do is get ready.
