Halloween 2014

Who says late night impulse purchases are a bad thing? Well, probably my bank manager, but even they can't deny that some things are too good a bargain to pass up.

So, in a detour from the destination to stock up on breakfast cereal I was in the DVD aisle of Tesco late last night and couldn't resist a Halloween purchase of The Addams Family and ParaNorman for £3 each. After the rather perplexing 'challenge 25' hold up at the self-service tills (seriously, for two PG rated films...), I walked away with my Sunday viewing sorted.

So, while the TV channels would rather have us all visually gorging on Christmas already (see the pic of Channel 5's schedule yesterday! Seriously, it was only November 1st!) I will be prolonging the spooky, gothic, Halloween atmosphere for a little while longer at least.
