Zombies, Pumpkins, and Spooky Stories, What's not to Love About Halloween? By Connie Vines
Iโve written about my love of Halloween, my fondness for Classic Universal Studio Monster movies, and my belief that the novel "Dracula" is a tortured love ๐story.
If Halloween is your fun-kid-friendly holiday, you're probably familiar with many exciting and spooky facts. But we've got some Halloween trivia questions and answers that will entertain your guests and your trick-or-treaters if they dare to ask. ๐๐ฆ๐ป๐ง
๐บ Black and orange were deliberately chosen as Halloween colors because of the fall-winter connection the day represents. Orange symbolizes the warmth of autumn and the last of the harvest season, while Black represents the cold, dark, and long winter.
๐Pumpkins are technically a fruit. Pumpkins are members of the gourd family, including cucumbers, cantaloupe, zucchini, and melons.
TRUE OR FALSE, WOMEN USED TO PERFORM SPOOKY RITUALS AIMED AT FINDING THEIR FUTURE HUSBANDS?
Answer: True.
Women used to perform "rituals" to help them find their future husbands.
๐ Women tossed apple peels over their shoulders, hoping they'd see the shape of their future hubby's initials on the ground.
๐ฏ Another involved a woman standing in front of a mirror in a dark room and holding up a candle to see their future husband's face. ๐จ (too scary for me!)
I also enjoy baking ๐. Pumpkin Bread? No. Banana Bread ๐๐ because..well, a bunch ripens so very quickly! Halloween Cookies will be in tomorrow's oven.
I hope you enjoyed the Halloween Trivia featured today.

Reviews for "Here Today, Zombie Tomorrow"
Alive, Steampunk novelist Meredith Misso worked hard at living the perfect SoCal celeb life. Now that she is a Zombie, itโs all about the make-up, non-vegan lifestyle, and her soon-to-be ex, who somehow managed to Velcro himself back into her life.
Novella length: โQuirky, Sassy, and Fun! ~Authors Den Review
#
First Line: โYou and Elvis have done a great job on this house,โ Meredith said as her older sister led the way downstairs toward the kitchen, where the tour began.
Review:
Meredith Misso, a thirty-two-year-old raised from the dead and living undead for the last six months, goes through a heck of a time pretending to be something she no longer is, so she breaks off her longtime relationship. Viktor, her ex, has his own reasons for throwing in the towel.
Ms. Vines writes quite a fun spin on the supernatural, the romance, the break-up, and the surprises, all leading to a happy ending. An excellent page-turner, captivating and humorous, and it left me smiling. I would enjoy reading another of Ms. Vinesโ books.
Eat, Drink, and Be Scary!
Happy Halloween
Connie
