AWESOME-tober-fest Archive
AWESOME-tober-fest is this blog’s yearly celebration of Halloween. Each October I have daily updates where I review books, comics, movies and TV shows pertaining to a specific Halloween-y theme. I do this in conjunction with another, larger celebration put on by the blog Countdown to Halloween.
