There are two types of people in October, and somehow, they always end up in the same friend group.
Type 1: The Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice crew. Their house looks like a Pinterest board exploded. They have ghost-shaped pillows, a candle that smells like “Autumnal Whispers,” and their idea of a costume is a cozy sweater with an iron-on patch that says “Boo.” They are here for the snacks, the aesthetic, and to make sure the vibe stays strictly “wholesome spooky.”
Type 2: The Blood, Guts, and Gore squad. They have spent four hours on YouTube learning how to make a latex prosthetic look like a gaping wound. They are currently not allowed in the living room because they keep getting fake blood on the rug. They aren’t here for the snacks; they’re here to make sure the neighbors call the police.
We are both ready for Halloween, but while one of us is ready to take a nap in a pile of leaves, the other is ready to star in a low-budget slasher film. Choose your fighter.
