6 Reasons Why Halloween Is The Best Holiday As Told By 'Hocus Pocus'

It's official. The month we've all been waiting for is finally here! We've been planning, and coveting for this very month. Yes, October is here and you know what that means...

HALLOWEEN IS HERE!

And because my favorite month and my favorite holiday has finally arrived, I thought I might as well prepare the only way I know how. By watching my favorite Halloween movie since I was a wee, little tot: Hocus Pocus. Because I know Halloween is the best holiday there ever has been and ever will be, but you might not. No need to fear (pun intended) though, I'm here to change your mind with 6 (Yes, 6) reasons why Halloween is #1 in my heart, and who better to explain than the cast of Hocus Pocus themselves!

1. Halloween gives you some crazy confidence.

There's nothing better than finding that perfect costume. It gives you all the confidence you need to go out there and be yourself. Men, women, children - everyone is looking good and feeling fine on Halloween!

2. Everyone feels childlike wonder.

Who cares if people say you're a child for dressing up on Halloween?! It's the perfect opportunity to have some great, childlike, and sometimes nostalgic fun! So dress up and get out there, you're the one having a great time!

3. Two words: Group Costume

The only thing better than feeling fine as hell in a bangin' costume is when the whole crew is feeling the same way. No matter whether you're the Sanderson Sisters or the cast of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, you've won this Halloween. Because there is no stress like trying to orchestrate everyone's costume progress. You went the extra mile and you should be congratulated for all that hard work!

4. Fall candles are literally to die for!

Well, maybe not the black flame candle specifically, but there are some pretty great scents out there this time of year. From the stereotypical pumpkin spice to the ever illusive Mahogany Teakwood, there's an absolutely delicious fall scent out there for everyone!

5. What she said:

That may not sound like a good thing to you, but my favorite thing about Halloween is learning about what others believe when it comes to the day itself. Might sound sketchy to you, but it does allow us to branch out and learn about some other cultures superstitions as well as the origin of our own! Here's to knowledge at every turn!

6. The entire month is a party.

If you want it to be, the entire month is an absolute blast! Get some candy, watch some scary movies, and plan a few costumes! It's Halloween time!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
