Brian Recommends:
Betrayal at the House on the Hill
Stranger Things
Trick 'r Treat
Meredith Recommends:
That 'Cthulhu Game' is actually called 'Arkham Horror'
A game I haven't played in ages: Munchkin Bites (a spookier version of Munchkin!)
Practical Magic (has Sandra Bullock, does not actually have Benjamin Bratt)
Buzzfeed Costume Picker (I actually calculated ours wrong, because who in this world reads the instructions? So Brian should go as a Drunk Clown and I should go as a Enchanted Kitty - way less interesting combos…)
Halloween Songs/Playlists
"Red Right Hand" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Pumpkin Job
(aka Pumpkin Gob, aka Pumpkin Crockpot Pudding)
1 can (16 oz) pumpkin
2 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp salt)
2 tsp vanilla
1 can sweetened condensed (or 1 can evaporated milk + 3/4 cup sugar)
1/2 cup bisquick (or other baking mix)
2 T butter (melted and let cool off for a moment)
2 Eggs (beaten)
Mix all together, transfer to greased/lined crock.
Crockpot: 6-8 hr low / 3-4 high
Oven: 350 - 45 min
Meredith's notes: I reduce the amount of sugar in mine and it's still sweet (esp from cooking for so long) but maybe healthier - warmed up a little, this makes excellent leftovers for breakfast
