Halloween is extra special in our household. We have a Halloween birthday in our family, so we tend to celebrate the holiday as soon as fall arrives. Watching Halloween movies every weekend leading up to Halloween night is our favorite tradition. I try to make a festive treat for us to enjoy inspired by the movies we watch together.
