Halloween Specials: Scary Food

WELCOME TO THIS YEAR'S

HALLOWEEN SPECIALS!

Did you now that while pumpkins are typically orange, they can also be Green, White, red and grey? Or that it is very rare for a full Moon to occur on Halloween? However, it is predicted to happen in 2020.

Do you want to hear a real-life horror story? Read on...

In 1974, eight-year-old Timothy O’Bryan died of cyanide poisoning after eating Halloween candy. Investigators later learned that his father had taken out a $20,000 life insurance policy on each of his children and that he had poisoned his own son and also attempted to poison his daughter.

Well, if that didn't spoil your appetite, let's indulge in one of the best assets of this holiday. CANDY! And all kinds of goulish food.

Halloween 2013

Boo everyone! It's that time of the year when scary things become popular and fun. If you see a ghost, you don't run away screaming. It's just another neighbour passing by. If you hear a howling at night, you think it's another night out with the guys.

Are you ready for some devilishly good time?

Let's start with some pictures to spark up the mood. What about decorations and food?
