October is finally here!!!

Which means Halloween lovers everywhere can finally let their freak flag fly.

But it also means we have to wait until the last thirteen days of October to see the good Halloween movies on Freeform.

And if you're as busy as I am, then you'll probably end up missing a lot of them anyway.

But if you're looking for something to get you into the Halloween spirit while you're on the run here are some graphic novels that are quick reads and will definitely get you in the spirit:


1. Nightmares and Fairy Tales by Serena Valentino

Spooky twists on beloved fairy tales, this graphic novel follows a doll named Annabelle who is aware of her existence. However every owner that Annabelle has ever had has come to a tragic demise or has had something terrible happen to them. We follow Annabelle’s journey living with Snow White and see a twisted take on the classic tale. This novel has beautiful illustration, and will definitely get you in the season’s spirit with it’s constant horror filled twists and turns.


2. Courtney Crumin by Ted Naifeh

Sassy one-liners and constant grumbling are just a few things that make the Courtney Crumrin series great. After moving to a new town to live with her great Uncle Aloysius she discovers some rather unusual books on witchcraft. Soon she finds out that her new town isn’t as boring as she thought. Did I mention the artwork is down right breath- taking?

3. Deepest Darkest Fears by Fran Krause


A book completely about fears that people have confessed at one point or another, what could get you more in the Halloween spirit? This book has fears ranging from silly, like the one most people have of letting a body part hang off their bed while they sleep, to down right scary. Probably one of the more mind melting ones that makes you really think involves believing one is in a coma and that their life has been a dream. My only recommendation is that you don’t read this one too late at night.

4. Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol


Anya is your average teenage girl trying to fit in at school. It doesn't make it easy that everyone views her as weird because of her Russian heritage. Things change for Anya when she falls down a well and meets a girl named Emily that died there years ago. Although hesitant at first Anya becomes fast friends with Emily, but soon things begin to change. As things begin to shift in their relationship making Anya question Emily's true intentions.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
