Happy October!

In honor of my favorite month of the year, I want to share a few of my favorite things that help me get into the spooky mood this month!

Whether you’re looking for a hauntingly good tv show to binge watch, a movie to curl up under a blanket with a bowl of popcorn, or a good mystery/thriller novel to enjoy throughout the month, I have a bunch of recs for all levels of spookiness. I hope you enjoy these suggestions!
