ID: Jamie Lee Curtis is facing the camera smiling, behind her is a tree, and peeking out from behind it is Mariah Carey dressed in a Santa dress. Jamie turns around to look, but no one is there, she turns back to the camera and looks worried.

Its rainy, cooler and theres been a constant breeze with mostly an overcast sky. Autumn and Halloween decorations are slowly, slowly starting to pop up on shelves, and there is already a spirit halloween up and running in Gaylord, with one in Petoskey building up and preparing to open in a few weeks. Youtube videos are also starting to pop up, touting "Spooky Season is on it's way", and as we get closer to fall, halloween and autumn themed commercials start to air, and halloween themed events both in real life and videogames start getting detailed and eventually, started. I subscribe to a lesser known Youtuber who calls himself "Tampa Jay". No tricks, no excessive budgets, just a chill dude who loves the season with absolutely no drama, Just Jay giving behind the scenes tours of various "haunts" that will be coming later in the season (he eventually starts filming full on walkthroughs of haunted houses later into the fall). As soon as I see him post his first "spooky season" video, I immediately consider it very early, yet the start, of the official Spooky Season. As luck would have it, he just posted a video or two. So in my eyes, its finally begun. Summer is winding to a close and each day we get closer to the beginning of Autumn. Its coming, and im very excited. Do you consider the spooky season "officially started" in August? If not, when do you consider it "officially" started? Sorry for the long post, i just needed to get that off my chest. I have no idea why i love this time of year so much, or why it makes me feel so good inside. Am i the only one that feels like this, at least on this level? October through December, (huge fan of the holidays too) seem to be the only time im truly happy and at peace. I feel this way about Christmas and Thanksgiving too, but with autumn and halloween, i seem to peak.

Technically, it starts early to mid September, but eh. Anyone else getting hyped all over again?
