BABY JIGSAW
The concept of Halloween is fantastic. It's phenomenal how you get to dress your little boy or a girl in the adorable Disney princess or attractive Disney king costume. I always like to go above and beyond to show my daughter that her dad is creative. To show my daughter that her mother and her father can create something that will make people laugh and make people stop in their tracks. The family that will have people look at their costumes because, as a family, they came together and made everybody's attention go to their excellent costume design. We decided to think about what was not expected for an infant costume. We decided to take a horror film, add a spin, and a joke to it by creating my daughter being the "jigsaw" doll from the famous movie "SAW." The game we have to play is getting the key out of her diapers to get us back into our house. Still, you know how kids are they take important objects and misplace them, and so it's just a loving joke that she swallowed the key, and now we have to dig through dirty diapers to find it! Happy Halloween to us, parents, right?. You know, people wonder how you can make a horror movie funny, or kid-friendly. Hence, as we sat back, we thought this would be cute and organic if we find a way to make this parent and kid-friendly and appealing to the eye without being too scary for a toddler, and I believe we pulled it off marvelously. I love any concept that can bring families together, and this is something my child's mother and I can sit down and design a costume and make people laugh and make people admire the time we spent together. To go out and buy our daughter the same old trending costume is fun, but instead, we sat together as a family unit and bonded while we designed this costume. I plan to do that for every Halloween up until my daughter has kids. All you need is a little chocolate syrup, a little face paint, some cardboard from the dollar store, and some old T-shirts. You have a family bonding time fast, easy cheap way of building a costume. There are always ways to fall into depression during a pandemic. There are still was to stay positive, like making a costume with your family. That's a great start; to get out of your head, get out of your comfort zone. This monumental moment in history causes many people to be sad, so I hope people take the time to build with their kids, have a great family time and family moments, and don't let this moment take away from the joy you brought into this world. It's easy to buy a costume for $30, but it's more joyful to watch your kid help you build an outfit that you, as a parent, taught from scratch. Now you get to see everybody watch you guys walk down the street and say, "wow, they put that together as a family so cool!". So I hope everybody for Halloween this year goes costume designing different as possible! The Allman family will always have surprises for the world's people when it comes down to holiday events! Imagine what I have in store for next years costume, stick around and see, and you'll be shocked!! Happy Halloween 2020!

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
It's coming up on the forty year anniversary; with so many horror films/characters that have come and gone since then, in my opinion there is still none better than Freddy Krueger! Over the years I have very seldom come across a horror fan who didn't like NOES, but I've always wondered if they understood the subtleties of what made Freddy such a terrifying presence. What makes him so damn scary?

The Wicker Man (1973)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019’s book “1001 Movies to See Before You Die” and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I won’t be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself you’ll have to buy it. But I will be covering the book’s suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. We’re going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but we’re also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like “Joker” will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then don’t hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Let’s get on with it then.

Dolly Dearest
Shadows blanket the house where the family sleeps. A neighborhood cat prowls the bushes under the windows, seeking an unwary mouse. A few crickets still buzz in the dark yard, strumming a sleepy tune in the sandbox. A bicycle waits patiently for the sunny summer day, standing hipshot on its kickstand. The swings stir lazily in the cool night breeze.

The Little Red Dress
Our marriage wasn’t supposed to end this quickly. We had over a decade together but it wasn’t enough. It’s harder than I thought it would be to sit in this kitchen without him. The yellow paint seems dimmer now. The white cabinets dirty. Maybe I should renovate. Bring some new life into these old bones.

Immortal || Chapter 18
I sat in the hall outside of my classroom and hugged my legs. Was I going crazy? No one else saw what I saw. That horrible face... Who, what was it? Resting my chin on my crossed arms I closed my eyes, receiving a mere image of the creature.

Halloween Cancelled
Halloween is Cancelled? By Casey Ann Patterson Unfortunately, I have heard Halloween 2020 has been cancelled due to COVID19. Where I live in Upstate NY within this last week, we have seen an uprise in people suffering from COVID19. The NYS Governor Andrew Cuomo has started dividing the effected areas into zones. With an uprise in COVID cases we now have yellow (some cases of COVID), orange (medium cases of COVID) and red zones (lots of COVID cases). I work and live on the cusp of a yellow zone. As autumn fills the air and Pumpkins and cider arrived on our shelves in my Grocery store my attention is drawn to the giant bags of candy still sitting in our displays. With COVID cases on the rise in our area, so far the only function that I know of that hasn’t been cancelled is our local trunk or treat and during this yearly activity, and participants are being asked to stay in their cars. I believe as we get closer to the eve that all children and adults look forward to besides Christmas, we will see more restrictions and children may be asked to refrain from traditional trick or treating.

Lost and Forgotten
A thousand days had passed since Jeffrey took this job and he could take it no longer. He knew the disrespect his staff showed him, and what they said behind his back. He knew by the way they stared at him, the jokes, and mockery. He couldn’t tolerate it any longer, this had to end.

The Chamber
Drip, drop. There's a tiny crack in the ceiling of this empty cell. The sound of water droplets slinking through it and diving to the growing puddle below is the only company I've had for days now. Much like a withered married couple tied together only by the frayed threads of mutual dependency and an old-fashioned sense of duty though, it is a relationship fraught with tension. I've been forced to endure the sound for so long now that each time a droplet falls, every cell in my body quivers with fury.

Bobby's Master.
I spent my time playing in the garden throwing sticks for the chocolate coloured pup as I tried to walk alone the path yet he bounced around wanting to fetch the sticks that I threw, clearly he was in delight that someone was walking within in his masters garden filled with the scents of spring blooms with silk petals that seemed to glow in the radiant sunlight.
