1. Why do you love Halloween?
I'm not really sure to be honest, it's just a really fun holiday! Lots of candy & scary creepy things, sounds good to me! I love watching paranormal stuff at this time of year too.
2. What costume sums your personality up perfectly?
Erm.. Possibly Wednesday Adams? I definitely have resting bitch face like her! haha!
3. Have you ever been to a scare attraction?
Yes! I've been to Scarefest at Alton Towers! Their scare mazes are amazing, although I haven't been in a few years now! They do have a lot of new ones this year though.
4. Previous Halloween costumes?
I've only properly dressed up once & it was a few years ago now. I dressed as Mrs Freddy Krueger & yes I did do the make up for it too!
5.Favourite horror film?
God that's a hard question! I'm really not sure on that one, partly because a lot of horror films are crap! haha! I think the best horror films are psychological horrors, they're so much more intense!
6. Do you believe in ghosts?
I'm honestly not sure. I personally have never had a ghost or paranormal experience so I find it really hard to believe really. As a photographer as well I'm well aware of what can be done in photoshop. I don't know really! 7. What are you craving in your pumpkin this year?
I haven't decided yet, but we will be vlogging our pumpkin craving for vlogaween!
So if you hadn't already (I had) decorated the house, now is the time.
Check the images & video for this blog post to see how I've decorated mine house this year. We have only decorated inside because I couldn't really find any nice outdoor props/ decor.
Maybe next year!
I mostly put my money into candles & cute pumpkins!
Most of the items I got are from Sainsbury's, a few things from Asda & then the candles from their respective brand shops. I would say shop around, as you might not find everything you're looking for in just one shop!
I also tried to get items that I knew I could keep for next year, so durable & quality products!
As it's now the holidays, for some of us that means a lot of time with the tv/ Netflix!
I personally watch Netflix a lot throughout the year. However if you're looking for some prime watching here is my list of netflix recommendations.
Orange is the New Black
I know I'm late to this one, but if you're looking for a funny & witty series to get into this will be perfect for you. I will warn you that this programme has quite a lot of sexual content, so it's definitely not for children. The first series was so good I ended up binge watching it. I'm not that into the second series at the moment though.
Scream
Another Netflix exclusive I believe. This series is exactly was I love about AHS (American Horror Story), they have approximately 13 hours to create a story & scare the shit out of you. This series is obviously based off the Scream movies, however there are some differences. They have also left it VERY open for the second series too! Even my mom, who isn't into horror, enjoyed this for its crime & 'who done it' elements.
Louis Theroux - Extreme Love: Autism
I wanted to go with something a little different as my last recommendation, a documentary. Netflix actually have a great/ vast section of documentaries & I love a good documentary! I happened to just find this very insightful one in the Louis Theroux series. This episode focuses on children with Autism. Personally I think this is something everyone could do with learning more about! I have already studied autism in A level Psychology, but this documentary really hits you & allows you an insight into how complex autism is.
As it's Halloween week I wanted to post something along that theme.
So I'm going to be sharing some my favourite moments from American Horror Story!
This obviously isn't going to contain much from season 5 as we are only 4 episodes in.
I personally love American Horror Story and started watching them a good few years ago now. After binge watching the first two seasons on Netflix I was hooked.
My favourite season is either Asylum or Coven. Honestly I loved them both for different reasons.
So into some of my favourite moments (in no order):
Coven: Witch's Council try to blame Fiona & Spaldings denial.
I love this whole scene. It is acted out perfectly by every cast member involved. Fiona remains so cool the whole time. And as for Spalding well his love story is just great. Not many guys would do that for the woman they love!
Freak Show: Twisty's Story
Like I a lot of people I loved the Twisty character, and even more so once we heard his story. It's very enlightening & explains his crazy misunderstood behaviour. Although I do think it's a shame he didn't appear more in the season.
Freak Show: How Elsa lost her legs
Another crazy backstory from Freak Show, actually both are in the same episode (it's quite an episode)! Elsa reveals the horrifying way in which she lost both of her legs. Note: this one isn't for the fault hearted.
Hotel: An introduction to Mr March
Can you tell I love a story? I also love this character! I know we still don't know that much about him but I still think he's brilliant. A crazy charismatic character is Mr March & when I say crazy I mean psycho killer crazy. However I find him a very likeable guy! I can't wait to see what he has in store for us!
I'm sure most of you guys do too, so here are some of my current recommendations on what to watch.
This list is going to be pretty varied, but I figure that way there should be something for everyone!
1. Lie To Me
I loved this show when it first aired back in 2009! I have to say that it certainly hasn't aged, which is great. It would probably be classed as a Crime Drama series. However it's a little different from the usual, as it's not about the physical evidence. It's bases on Tim Roth's character (Cal Lightman) reading people's faces & body language. At first that sounds a bit silly but they actually make it very scientific in the series.
2. American Horror Story
Firstly if you haven't heard of this show.. where have you been?!
The first three series are available on Netflix & they've not long finished airing the fourth on tv. If you like horror you'll love this! Even if you don't like horror though you should give this one a go! It's creepy I'll give you that, but they have a whole series to scare you so it's not quite the same as a 90 minute horror flick of intense fear & gore. It's quite sexually explicit too, so not exactly suitable for younger viewers.
3. Friday Night Dinner
If you love English comedy shows you'll love this. It's a similar vain to The Inbetweeners, featuring Simon Bird who played Will in the show. It's based on a Jewish family who get together every Friday night to have dinner, however it's never that simple! Everything that could go wrong does and it's full of those 'oh god no' cringe moments. The first two series are on Netflix & the third is still available on 4OD if you love it that much.
This make up tutorial is meant to be kind of a 'general purpose' Halloween tutorial. By this I mean it can be adapted and used for a variety of different Halloween characters (devils, zombies, vampires etc).
It's also pretty damn simple!
I do also include a bit of hair fluffing in this video, although my hair naturally loves being a big mess anyway so that was all pretty easy!
