31 Days of Halloween Hijinks: Trick or Treat – Trick Edition

Day Twenty Eight:  Trick or Treat – Trick Edition

I’m 28 days into my 31 day challenge and I just realized I haven’t covered much Hijinks during my Halloween Hijinks series.  While I enjoy the treats and the dressing up and the feeling of getting scared during the Halloween season, I also like the mischief involved as well.  While I’m not condoning the mean-spirited pranks that happen on Devil’s Night (especially in the Detroi area), there’s definitely no harm in a little bit of Halloween mischief (or hijinks) amongst friends.  In fact, one of my favorite Halloweens ever (until I got to share the holiday with my daughter that is) had to be the year I dressed up as the T-800 (battle damage and everything).  I looked all over the house and I couldn’t find it.  I promise though, when I do – even if it’s not the Halloween season – it will be on this blog.  Anyway, that Halloween.  My friends and I decided that instead of Trick or Treating, we were going to create a haunted house in one of our front yards and scare all the younger kids.  One of us climbed up a tree and jumped down every time a group of kids came, one of us acted like a scarecrow on the porch, and I hid inside a wooden box.  We had so much fun popping up and scaring everyone – it was great.

It’s with that spirit of Halloween and the “trick” part of Trick or Treat do I give you the following YouTube videos.

Also, if you want to pull a few pranks of your own, you’ll find three oldies but goodies (two featuring Linda Blair from her role in The Exorcist) after the break.

31 Days of Halloween Hijinks

As you can see by the above image, I’m getting ready for my 31 Day Challenge.  As extra motivation, I’m linking up with a collection of blogs filled with folks who are also doing other types of 31 Day Challenges.  Check out The Nesting Place linked over on the right in my blogroll (or click here – )

As you look to follow along my 31 day journey, use this page as your one-stop shop for everything.  While I’ll be adding each day of the challenge to my blog, I’ll also be direct linking all 31 Days to the bottom of this original post to make sure there’s an easy way to keep track of everything.

Based on my poll results, it looks like my readers want everything but book recommendations (too bad, I’m a bookseller, so you’re getting some of those too….), so expect a very diverse month of posts inspired by the Halloween season.  You’ll get everything from reviews, recommendations, recipes, craft ideas, costume ideas, interviews, and posts about all things that go bump in the night (among other things).

I’m very excited about this undertaking.  Thanks for supporting me in my efforts to make this October a spooktacular one.
