Hi! I’m Mandy Spooks, a horror screenwriter and spooky queen who celebrates Halloween everyday! 🎃 I live my best spooky life so you can, too! 👻
If you’ve ever asked yourself how many days until Halloween while sipping pumpkin cold brew in the middle of April… welcome to your new favorite corner of the internet. I created this Spooky Oasis™ (this website) to help Halloween lovers keep the spirit alive 365 days a year—whether it’s Valloween, Summerween, or halfway-to-Halloween madness.
Want spooky inspo and Halloween updates all year long?
Come haunt me on Instagram and YouTube for new decor, movie picks, and spooky vibes.
You’ve checked the Haloween calendar. You’ve counted the seconds. Now what?
🕸️ Psst… I’ll be covering some of these in upcoming blog posts. Stay tuned!
If you’re part of the Ghoulster Squad, you already know the countdown to Halloween never really ends.
We make spooky magic during Halfway to Halloween, go all out for Summerween, and even celebrate Spookmas in December. I also share cozy Self-Scare™ rituals year-round—because spooky self-care deserves a permanent place in your routine.
Whether you’re burning your favorite black flame candle or journaling under a faux full moon, every day is a chance to keep the spook alive™.
The countdown to Halloween is filled with more than just anticipation—it’s packed with actual spooky season happenings. Here are a few Halloween-centric things to keep on your radar:
🕸️ Halfway to Halloween → April 30th & May 1st celebrations (watch parties, themed drinks, costume previews)
🎬 Halloween Movie Releases:
Pinocchio: Unstrung – October 10, 2025
The Black Phone 2 – October 17, 2025
The Seductress from Hell – October 30, 2025 (yes, the night before!)
👻 Spirit Halloween Opens → Mid-to-late August (aka the unofficial start of Halloween season)
🎃 Fall Decor Launches → Keep an eye on Target, Michaels, and HomeGoods by late July
If you’re one of the lucky ghouls who can afford to travel this year, be sure to put Universal Studio’s Dark Universe on your radar!
The countdown to Halloween isn’t just about the date—it’s about all the magical little traditions that lead up to it. And yes… I’ll be covering them all.
Let’s be honest—the countdown to Halloween is as much about nostalgia as it is pumpkins.
Remember school Halloween parties? The thrill of trick-or-treating with a glow stick wand? Those McDonald’s Halloween pails and Goosebumps books with the squishy covers?
That’s the heart of my content—and why we keep counting down. We’re not just waiting for a day. We’re preserving a feeling.
