Perhaps you’ve heard me mention that October is all about getting Spirited. But what does “getting in the spirit” really mean? There’s the metaphorical, of course: adding a dash of pumpkin spice to every dish, lighting a vanilla candle, and putting on your coziest sweater to welcome the onset of autumn.
But there’s also the literal definition of the word. That’s right, I’m talking about spirits — ghosts, ghouls, goblins, witches and vampires, too. This season is as delightful as it is spooky, and as a horror aficionado (one of many at Tastemade), October is the month to trade new movie recommendations and re-watch the classics.
With that in mind, I’ve got a roundup of recipes inspired by a handful of my favorite frightening films. Too scared? Don’t worry, a fun October horoscope is waiting for you below.
