Arctic Circle's Square Pumpkin 2019
They're back again this year! Not sure how many years they have done the Square Pumpkin, but we're talking 35+ years now! I really wish they would run a new local commercial. TV is all but dead these days. Arctic Circle has ditched the "Square Pumpkin" title it seems, and now just offers a spooky Halloween themed kids meal box. It's not as cool as in years past, but I'll take it. The food is the same, the only difference is the box, and the annual Halloween "flashlights". Gotta keep them safe for Tricks and Treats!
This boy is also obsessed with cheese burgers right now!
Milen got the Franky, and Ava got the Eyeball. The flashlights don't change much from year to year, but they are a fun little tradition. One year they had robot flashlights, which was stranger than aliens for Halloween. Like I said, I'll take it. (They're better than the flashlights featured in the above commercial . I wish I knew when that commercial aired. I wanna say late 90's, early 2000's?) McDonald's is lame now and doesn't offer Halloween Happy Meals, and BK is totally out to lunch when it comes to their kid's meals. The Burger King Kid's Club is dead.
Milen got creative with the lights and used them to light up the ghost shelf
Anyways, I got my usual Pumpkin Pie shake. This time I added chocolate, which made it kind of taste like pumpkin chocolate chip cookie ice cream. And for some reason they topped it off with a Nilla Waffer.
Any other Utahns out there? What do you think of the Square Pumpkin meals? If you're not from Utah, do you have any local eateries that offer Halloween themed kids meals? If you do know of any other fast food joints with halloween offerings this year then please let me know! and show me pictures!

Ream's: Halloween Time Machine 2019
If you live in Utah and love Halloween, then you need to check out Ream's! For the past few years I have found some awesome stuff. Incredible selection for a grocery store, and super cheap! If you are not familiar with Ream's, it is a local grocery store chain here in the beehive state. There is a scotish mascot, and the stores are pretty run down. I still have fond memories roller balding to reams to see what tapes and video games they had for rent.
Between two Ream's location, checkout what I found this year. It's like stepping into a time machine!

Look at this! You ever see a full page of Halloween in the newspaper mailer, for a grocery store!? Beautiful.
I had to have one of each of the purple, green, white, and & orange ghosts. Just 99 cents each!
Sadly, I only found the orange and purple (with eyes) windups.
Where is your secret Halloween honey hole?

Ernest Scared Stupid - Opening Credits Movie Challenge
It's no secret that I love Ernest, and Ernest Scared Stupid is my favorite movie from the series. The opening credits sequence is fantastic! It features Ernest reacting to various classic, open source, sci-fi and horror film clips. As a kid I always wondered what movies these clips were from. Now I know, and I want to watch them all before Halloween 2019! Won't you join me?

11. The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) - WATCHED Some of these I may watch the SM3K versions, if available on Netflix or somewhere else, and call it good. I have seen Nosferatu, though it has been a while. Have you seen any of these films? What did you think of them? Are there any films featured here that I forgot to mention? Who's the random guy at 1:07?
Update: I am updating this post as I watch the movies. So far Nosferatu is the best by far, followed by Little Shop of Horrors. I doubt the rest will dethrone Nosferatu as my favorite, but we shall see what the sci-fi horror movie are like.

Halloween in April
I have moved some things out of storage and into our family room, where my kids have full access to my nerdy toys and junk. So far, no major incidents and I have been able to enjoy things with my cute loveable little rascals.
