It took me about an hour to get to my destination this morning. Crawling down I-45, I thought alot about the government, a Phobia billboard, a Screamworld billboard and about questionable freeway design. If the designers didn’t force us to switch lanes as we get closer to downtown, I would bet a decent sum of money (a 2 dollar bill) that traffic wouldn’t be so bad. Who agrees with me?? HOUSTON’S traffic sucks!

While the zombie invasion still seems to be put on hold, the pumpkin pawns have been sent forth to be slaughtered mercilessly. I’ve always wondered if Billy Corgan gets excited by the sight of pumpkins strewn across pumpkin lots…I’d imagine there’s a sledge hammer under his bed that he thinks talks to him. “Smash pumpkins, smash pumpkins.”

I, on the other hand have never wanted to wreak havoc upon the hapless squashes also known as The Pumps…those guys look so relaxed hanging out at Whole Foods, why should I be the one that takes away their joy? I just want to poke out their eyes. (more…)

Houston we have a problem. We’re not sure how we’re going to get to so many attractions. So many attractions…I have better things to do, like watch Snoopy shoot down the Red Baron or dream about my zombies-on-the-moon movie script…or eat mint chocolate chip ice cream. Mmmm, green.

Houstonian’s have come through this year, shooting us emails about the local haunts not already on our site. Where were you all our lives?? Thanks to those of you that kept an eye out there and informed us of them. Check out our attractions page to see all the great attractions we have this year! Here are just a few:

“This year Halloween fell on a weekend, me and Geto Boys are trick-or-treatin” – If you don’t know that lyric, we can’t help you. But it’s like the perfect storm…Houston, Halloween and the weekend.

NE WAYZ, Halloween is just around the corner and we are back! For the next month and a half check back with us often because we will be updating the goings on around town for yet another year. This will be a great year with the aforementioned Halloween falling on a Saturday!
