 Hello, my name is Amanda, but just about everyone called me
the Halloween Girl. I'm nineteen years old and was born on
October 30th. Darn, I missed being born on Halloween by one
day. That's okay though, I think it would be way too much to
celebrate Halloween and my birthday all on the same day.
My best
friends, Chloe, Eric, Nicole and Trent also love
Halloween and we spend the entire year plotting and planning
what we will do on Halloween night. We still love to go
trick-or-treating and since we aren't old enough to hit the
clubs yet, we always plan on hitting a party or two if we
don't set one up ourselves.
So many great
Halloween costumes and I can only wear one or
two each year. I usually wear one type to a Halloween party
and another type for Halloween night. I live in
Las Vegas, which does have it's advantages.
It's hot as Hell
in the summer but it's cooling down in October and it's
comfortable at night. So on Halloween night, I can wear just about
any type of sexy Halloween costume that I want and not freeze to
death. I really love shopping for Halloween decorations and
Halloween costumes!
 I love
decorating for Halloween! The fam is definitely into
Halloween, too, so we start putting up
Halloween decorations early in October,
inside and out. My room looks like Halloween year round,
kind of a cross between Goth, Vampire and general horror,
since I love horror films, too. Lots of skulls, bats, dark
walls, a few horror film action figures. I keep a few of
those foam lighted Jack-O-Lanterns on shelves for mood
lighting. I have a haunted village that my mom and I built
years ago out of craft sticks on display as well. I always
was proud of that thing! We really made it scary!
For the past
three years I've throw my own
Halloween party for my friends
in our backyard. My friends help plan it and set it up. It's
usually the night before Halloween so it's really my
birthday party, too. I bake a really elaborate cake, mom
helps fix some actual food, usually home made pizzas that
look like Jack-O-Lanterns, and stuff like that while we
decorate the back yard.
My dad builds Halloween props for
his yearly front yard haunt so he sets up the backyard for
the party, too. While everyone's helping out with the
details of setting up, my girls and I get dressed for the
party, takes time to transform into something hideously
beautiful!
 While I don't
cook a lot, I really like cooking up treats during October.
I take over the kitchen and start cooking up all kinds of
Halloween treats like caramel apples, popcorn balls, and
Marshmallow Monsters. I love to search the net looking for
new Halloween recipes to try out each year. All the smells make me
think about Halloweens' past. Mom's passed on some of her
favorites to me and now she turns the kitchen over to me
during Halloween. I may not be good at normal cooking yet
but I've got Halloween covered!
Special
mention goes to my beloved Halloween cat, companion and
magical familiar, Midnight. She keeps me company when I'm
alone and sleeps at the end of my bed every night. I hope you
enjoy my website! I've filled it with all the things I love
