Happy Halloween, pals! Getting in the spooky spirit is a year-long event for myself and this little creature! Have a wonderfully terrifying 31st and remember to eat ALL the candy!

My sons and I love love love Halloween!  I love Trick or Treating because I charge "Mom Tax" where I am allowed to take all of their Reese Peanut Butter Cups. Last Halloween was our favorite because we decided to adopt our foster puppy, pictured here.

Having grown up in a funeral home, I have always been interested to the macabre. As an actor, I am attracted to expressing identity through performance. Halloween, then, has always been a natural fit. I don't just like wearing a costume, but actually becoming the character I've chosen. I know, sometimes it gets weird. But I'm ok with that.

Now, as much as I love horror and darkness, character options are wide open (I became Bob Ross a few years back). My son, Dario, has become OBSESSED with the Beatles over the past year. Naturally, he  wanted to "creep" into character for Halloween. Here he is, rehearsing his Sir Paul McCartney.

Happy Halloween!
Mr. Cantelmi

I always look forward to a Treehouse of Horror marathon.  Classic episodes in short story format that let them get a little weird.

This was my favorite halloween costume I've done! I made this prosthetic from hot glue. Although it looked great, it was SO painful to take off my face. Still no regrets, loved making it!

I love dressing up and it's even better when I can do it with my family! Mark, Addy, and I got into the Ren Faire/Halloween spirit and dressed as pirates over the weekend! Cherry on top - most of the items we are wearing were found in our closets or thrifted from somewhere. I got my awesome pirate pants at the Production Arts Yard Sale!

We carved these pumpkins this weekend! We love pets at our house. Happy Halloween!!

The Halloween spirit is celebrated every year with my children! We have a fun Halloween Party  and enjoy a night of spooky stories, music, and (of course) candy/treats!

Halloween was one of my favorite holidays as a child (other than Christmas of course). I loved being able to dress up! My favorite Halloween costume I ever wore when I was younger was the Queen of Hearts from Alice and Wonderland!  My favorite Halloween candy is Reeses Peanut Butter Cups!

Scariest moments... most Halloween related things terrify me! I don't like anything scary, especially scary movies!  The one highlight of Halloween that is a tradition is to watch Hocus Pocus a million times, which has one of my favorite Halloween songs!  I hope you have a wonderful Halloween :).

I was still relatively new to Charter Arts then and this was the first time I was able to really share my nerdy artistic side with the rest of the staff and students. And I made the hood myself! 😬

While there are many, I think James Mason's reading of Poe's "The Tell Tale Heart" is best. That said, we cannot discount anything narrated/preformed by horror icon Vincent Price, either!

While I typically fawn of classic Slasher films, little shorts like this one have a special place in my Halloween-heart!

I love to carve pumpkins for Halloween! This one is from last year. Planning on carving this weekend!

Between the colors, comfy fall outfits, and of course Halloween, fall is definitely my favorite season. I was raised on horror and sci-fi, so I spend most of my autumn weekends curled up with some coffee or tea marathoning the classics like The Thing, 30 Days of Night, Alien, all of the must-see movies of the genre. I'm not a huge chocolate guy (I know it's a crime) so my favorite candies are usually more of the sweet and gummy variety including Sour Patch Watermelon, Mike and Ikes, and Skittles.

I love going all out with costumes whenever I get the chance. My favorite from recent years is the awesome Spider Man costume you see attached! I had to dress as my favorite superhero at some point, and I even got to feel like a hero volunteering during one of Kutztown University's Halloween events.

Here is one of my favorite costumes that I made!  I enjoy listening to the Monster Mash and eating all of the Halloween candy (favorites include: starbursts, twix, reese's peanut butter cups, and york peppermint patties)!  I am crossing my fingers that I get trick-or-treaters at my new house!

I added fairy wings, a wand, and a mask to my dance recital costume to make my Halloween costume in 1st grade. I remember being so mad that it was cold and my parents made me put a jacket on over it to go trick-or-treating!

My family and I love all things scary, so for my son's Trunk or Treat this year, we created our very own Pennywise to terrify the kids! It was a big hit.

A few years ago, I decided to create an entirely self-made costume for Halloween; my inspiration was a striking photo of four friends dressed as the Disney Haunted Mansion talking marble busts.

To add a musical spin, I envisioned becoming a stone sculpture of Beethoven.  Several trips to thrift stores found me a suitable coat, cravat, and shirt while a quick search on Amazon landed me a wig, hair and fabric paints, make-up, and a nose prosthesis.

First, I adhered the coat and cravat to the shirt, cut it all in half at chest level, and painted the fabric a dusty grey-white.  A cut down the back—fashioned with velcro—made for easy on-off wearing.  A bit of black paint flecked on with a toothbrush provided marbleized texture and dimension.  Second, I greyed the white wig I had purchased, stylized it, and set with absurdly large amounts of hairspray.  The final touches were a bulbous latex nose, copious amounts of white foundation and various shades of grey and black for shadowing and contouring, stone-colored lipstick, and finishing powder.

As a fun touch, I designed a pedestal iron-on T-shirt that gave the illusion of my upper torso and head resting on a bust stand.

I don’t think of myself as particularly crafty, but I felt rather proud of this fun project! 😁

Before teaching, I was a magazine editor at a publishing company that routinely called upon the staff to "take one for the team." On this day, I put aside all of my editing tasks and spent 4 fours in a makeup chair to have my face scarred up with latex to approximate the visage of BARON ZEMO, arch-foe of Marvel's Captain America. Zemo had his mug permanently marred after dunking his head in molten-hot "Adhesive X"... of course, he USUALLY wears a full hood face-mask and crown befitting his royal supervillain status.

The milk was real and curdled under the hot photo lights. That's vanilla buttercream frosting on my upper lip. My gloves are Lysol dishwashing gloves with Sharpie highlights.

Note: No animals were harmed in my faux fur trim.

One of my fondest memories is my dad decorating our garage for Halloween, and my mom and dad giving out cider and donuts to all the neighbors. I think I should win something for oldest photo... this one of me as Little Red Riding Hood (with my two older brothers) was taken in 1965 when I was 3 years old. Now, THAT'S scary!!!

I turned 18 at a Halloween midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (My birthday is November 1st:). I can' think of a better way to ring in adulthood than getting smacked in the back of the head with toilet paper and showered with rice. I don't dance, but to this day, this song is the only way I step foot on a dance floor
