I'm concerned about how they are going to fill up the schedule for a full 31 Days, but this article says that they will be airing a new movie every single night. That would be a welcome change.

I mean, regardless of what content they show, I'd still rather have it be 31 Days of Halloween than 13 Days. Sometimes I like to just have it on, not even to really watch it intently, but just to literally have it on at a low volume and have the constant barrage of Halloween shows, commercials, and advertisements. It adds to the nightly feeling of it being Halloween time! Sometimes, especially in the first half of the month, it can be the only Halloween-y thing on TV at all.

I always say July is the month that starts the Halloween build...to think we're now WEEKS away from it is just insane.

Awesome!

I like to enjoy the 4th of July Weekend. That's always the last big holiday before the holiday wheels start turning. And I'm a sucker for hosted TV marathons, so even when the actual date of the 4th is over, I still keep celebrating it until the end of that weekend when whichever marathon I'm watching is over. Last year was the Kaijuly Roarth Marathon (basically a Godzilla marathon) on El Rey Network. So I'm hoping for that again this year.

I then typically go to San Diego Comic Con in mid-July. So that then becomes my focus after the 4th.

Towards the end of July is when I start counting down the days until August. Which to me is the informal start of the season when you can start getting the wheels turning not only on Halloween, but on EVERYTHING else coming up over the next 4 months as well. And then September 1st officially marks the beginning of the Halloween Season!

It's coming up soon! This year I'm going to be an assistant manager at a Spirit Halloween store. I know the district manager for the stores in my area, so that's going to start up in August.

I'm sticking around this season Edge! Remember I told you I'd let you know about that? I'll send you a PM soon.
