Jason Michael Carroll says Halloween is one of his family’s favorite holidays.  In fact, if you were to drive by the Carroll house in late September, you might find it already decorated with ghosts and other assorted scary items.

“We always decorate our house early for the season,” says Jason. “Every year, we pick out a few new decorations to add to our already large collection. The older the kids get, the scarier the decorations get. We pick out our costumes months in advance, and try to go with some sort of theme.  Last year, we were Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Gang.  This year, we are working on a Batman theme.  Buying our costumes in advance gives us a chance to make them AWESOME!  One of our good friends helps us with alterations.  Even the grandparents, aunts, and uncles are dressing up to fit with our theme this year!”

Jason even puts a little mood music on to make Oct. 31 even more special.  Continue Reading

I was a real serious child, which makes no sense because I’m never serious now, but I never wanted to dress up as a kid. My parents, they’re like, ‘You are the strangest kid.’”

As one might expect, the opposite is true for Big Kenny. “Halloween is the great American excuse for everybody to get dressed up, eat, drink and be merry together and spook the dickens out of all the kids and even some dudes like me who are still spookable,” he says. Continue Reading

Halloween falls on a Saturday this year — a night when most country stars are usually onstage. But this year, Kellie Pickler will be able to celebrate one of her favorite holidays.

“This is the first Halloween I don’t have to work,” Kellie tells the Chicago Tribune. ”I might have to take advantage. I’ve been witches, monsters, Barbies – I was obsessed with Barbie when I was younger — Dolly [Parton]. Gosh, I need to find those pictures.”

Kellie hasn’t decided on a costume yet. What do YOU think she should wear? Suggest a costume below in our comments section! Continue Reading
