I'm so excited! I finally got a work from home job and that means I have time to listen to podcasts again! And I can finally subscribe to the patron!

Rachel,
As always...your transformation is incredible!!
I have never seen nor heard of Love Witch until just now. You can totally do that transformation! You are 85% there now.
It would be fun to see everyone's costumes they wore as adults. I had not thought of all the different costumes, themed Halloween parties I hosted and went to in a very long time! It was fun just thinking back on them. I would love to see other folks costumes and decorations!
Thanks for doing your makeup and chatting with us it was fun!!
Enjoy all the pretty colors we are enjoying here in New England. Pretty soon they will be all crunchy and blowing around!
With happiness,
Audri

it’s always so cool to see the behind the scenes of a photo shoot and all the effort that goes into it - love the look!
I am hosting my very first halloween party as an adult, and i’m very excited and nervous! i’m hosting it with a friend so the guest list is a combo of our friend groups. i’m going as Zoro from One Piece and am hoping to dye my hair green for it! for actual Halloween day, I usually dress up for work and then go as a witch to pass out candy for trick or treaters!

I just came across a fantastic YouTuber who I'm sure you've come across, but if it's fallen through the cracks, I think you'd love the content. Hazariel Atelier, she's right up this whimsical, Autumn alley.

There is a reproduction Munster house outside of Waxahachie, Texas. They have had events in the past. At that time, a tour of the house was included and the house was filled with Munster's memorabilia. Munster Mansion Texas on Facebook.

I can't believe I've been watching you nearly 10 years, how has that time gone so fast!!!!???
My nephews birthday is right around Halloween so he wants a mario party, we all have to dress up. So I get two costumes this year (three if I make nostalgia from inside out 2 because she's literally me).

My partner and I were Greg and Wirt last year so I don't think we can top it! I peaked being Greg lol. But I gotta think of something for this year...

this is SOO CUTE and fun to watch!!! Thank you so much for always inspiring us Rachel!!
This year, I’m planning to be Wednesday Addams - specifically in her dance dress from the show - but also Evil Emperor Zurg from Toy Story 2… and i have not started on either…

EEE!! You look fabulous! LOVE the Munsters! Don't get to see that very often, so FRICKEN LOVE THIS outfit!
This year we are all doing our own individual thing. I'm going as the 13th Doctor, child is going to be Evie from Descendants3, and our two corgi doggos are going to be Deadpool & Wolverine.

I have a little nightmare this year so I would love to dress them up multiple times during the month, just for my own amusement. We always decorate my in-law yard with our skeleton army, this year I'm thinking maybe a gardening theme but not set on that.

My birthday is two days before Halloween and I'd love to have a Halloween party for that. I've already picked a costume (the ghost of a Victorian governess), now I just hope I don't lose any more guests...

I'm going as Glinda and currently trying to replicate the massive crown/headpiece from the Wizard of Oz movie (pray 4 meeee). We're also going trick or treating with young family, in this case our goddaughter who's Dorothy and my hubby as the Wizard. No adults really dress up properly here (Scotland) so it's nice to take the chance... Love dressing up. Wish Halloween was a bigger deal!!

It reminds me of that scene in the Princess Diaries "your leg just pops!"

I think the overall style is just an exaggerated version of a 60s/70s style. On stage you would need the drama and it's easier to see your eyes 👀

I'm doing my first repeat costume as Van Gogh. Last year I painted my face and a suit in his style to look like him and it was so much fun! I also know I can improve upon it. No plans yet :( I live in Europe now so things just aren't the same for Halloween here

Looks really good! Not sure what I’m doing this year for Halloween but I’m looking forward to it since it’s my baby’s first! And the day before is my wedding anniversary.

Thanks Rachel. I watched this show all the time and your transformation was the best. You brought back some memories. Sending you energy vibes for the season. You got this!!

My writer’s group has a themed fundraising party every year and this year is Sweet 16. There was a horror movie from 1983 called Sweet Sixteen so I’m going as one of the killer’s victims (Johnny) and my husband will play the Sheriff (because it’s simple and doesn’t require much besides regular clothes - I just need to make his sheriff badge).

Will we get a Karlach cosplay video? I know it took you a lot of effort and I would LOVE to watch it

Army man, Godzilla and Mothra will make our family costume. I've been DIYing Halloween crafts so am happy about a minimal crafty costume

This is so cute!! I grew up loving Lily Munster. I know it's not for everyone, but I think you'd really like the 2022 Munsters film-- it is higggghly corny/campy and the costuming and sets are just so friggin fun.
I hope you get time to have a party! Make it a potluck and let everyone show up and do the Maksoweening for you that night so you can just chill :D Thanks for all you do <3

I've got two kids who want to do pokemon things that I need to make. The baby and his best friend will be bees in a flower field. I think my friend and I are going to be queen bees. There will be trick or treating and maybe a cookie decorating party

I used to watch The Munsters reruns with my Nana after school! I love Lily, this was such a fun trip into cozy childhood memories for me. We usually do a lot for Halloween, but this year we're taking care of a bunch of family stuff and can't devote the time to our normal shenanigans. When I have time, I will sneak in some spooky reads and podcasts, and appreciate the crunchy leaves and changing scents of the season.

I've been preparing for this year's Halloween since last year's Halloween! My mausoleum will be holding " Tales From the Crypt" again ( I sent you photos of it), and 6 ghosts will be greeting guests in the dark to tell their tales! My avatar is of myself as one of the ghosts

The timing of this is so serendipitous. My grandpa, mom, and I used to watch The Munsters a lot and this week was the one year anniversary of his passing, so this really put an extra smile on my face when I needed it ❤️ I also love finding other people who know about the show because most people think I'm just incorrectly describing the Addams Family.
For Halloween I'm going to be Mothman! And my wife and I are going to drive down to Denver for a Spirits and Spirits event at a living museum!
Thanks for what you do and good luck through Maksoween!

So cute!!! Lily is one of those characters that you don't see very often! Looks pretty comfy too!
The next month is going to be full of costume stuff for me! I got into the NYCC Eastern Championships of cosplay and I need to finish this costume that I've been working on for over a year! SO CLOSE though!
Due to all of that, I have no idea what I'm going to be on actual halloween as a big ballgown would not do well in an office environment. I'm thinking Maybe Nadja or a classic Witch!

I almost did that last year too but I found a big-o-toad at Michael's and fell in love! Maybe I should give the mushroom a go this year.🍄

Lol, that eyeliner is the exact shape we used to do for stage (ballet). I'm guessing that's what inspired it?

Our house is set back so we didn’t get many kids the first year. So last year I parked a table on the street off our driveway, decked out with candles, crows, my cauldron, pumpkins, potions and more spooky stuff and projected a Halloween ambience video on my garage. The table was flanked by my huge iron candelabras (the benefits of having lived in SoCal, sourcing from movie prop vendors). Everyone came to visit my little bog witch corner! So my witchy workshop will be making an appearance again this year!

I don't know what I want to dress up as this year. I usually do some kind of witch. Last year was toad witch. I do have plans to make at least two Halloween dresses. I like to dress up a little spooky for all of October if I can.

This came together so beautifully! I can't wait to see all of the Maksoween for 2024 :) We have loads of kids who do our village Halloween trail, but we are known as "The Halloween House" because we go big :-D Over the past few years I've been making props to turn my front garden into a haunted abandoned fairground so I've made a swings ride and a little section of roller coaster from scratch and my home-made zombie dolls are riding on those while my 6 foot tall zombie clown watches. I really want to make a little ferris wheel thing this year but I haven't had time to start so I just don't know if I'm going to get it done in time, but there's always next year! I still have no clue what to wear for Halloween either. I'm toying with the idea of a zombie Marilyn Monroe

Currently making my son a black cat costume to match my witch costume, for a little parade thing called the Witches Ride that we'll be walking in and handing out candy. And I get to go on a field trip with him to a pumpkin patch. So freaking stokeddd. Also you look fabulous as always 🥰

🍁🎃 For Samhain I'll be celebrating for a week with my friends in a big house in the woods, so that's always fun ✨🌙
And I guess you rubbed off on me because I planned an themed outfit per day 🔥
I'm going to do pirates, witches, mushroom fae, froggo, hobbit and pumpkin head.
(Secretly buying my dream wardrobe "just for fun", so I can wear it all year long after the party ^^ 🍁🦊🍄)
