A podcast where users tell their real-life paranormal experiences. Spooked is by far my favorite podcast, and it’s the only thing that makes me not want to open my eyes in the dark. It’s beautifully edited, and Glynn Washington’s voice is like butter.

https://www.hanttula.com/monster-movie-title-generator/
A site that generates cheesy horror movie titles. I needed some really generic horror terms, and this site did the trick. It’s just fun. I would totally watch The Blood-Devouring Vampires Must Awaken!

A niche little website chronicling the webmaster’s adventures in Halloween crafting, from crank ghosts to paper mache skeletons! I believe this site is dead as well, but it is an annual visit for me. Get yourself a mug of hot pumpkin spice latte and explore!

Every year, Matt turns Dinosaur Dracula into something like an online Halloween party. Those dollar store decorations you never thought of buying? Matt will find a reason for you. Seasonal candies and foods, candles that smell like a hayride, and Halloween cassette tapes. Enough said.
