Every year around this time I get out all of my Halloween-y movies and try to watch them throughout the month of October. This year I kicked things off with a little Practical Magic. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend finding a copy. My sister and I watched it pretty regularly when we were younger, most likely around Halloween. I mean, it’s good in that sort of cheesy way a lot of the movies I loved in the late 90s were. It’s got a pretty stellar cast, too, that includes Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Stockard Channing, and Dianne Wiest.

“…But there are some things I know for certain: always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder, keep rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender for luck, and fall in love whenever you can.”
