Creeptastic Costume Ideas

Obviously, here at The Midnight Society we are huge fans of Halloween. It’s full of Horror movies, haunted houses, and scary costumes! What more could we ask for! But, if you’re like me, sometimes coming up with all the details of a creepy costume can be tough. That is where I turn to Pinterest!

Horror History: Laughing in the Face of Danger

Welcome to The Midnight Society’s #OctFearFest!

There's nothing better than looking at something terrifying, and having a laugh. I'm sure that when people were first on this planet they were out there clubbing their dinner and laughing over the spray of blood, so the h[...]
