We’ve got spirit, how ‘bout you?


By Emma Niles, Tastemade Contributor

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.

Instead of our usual brain game, we have a question for you this week:
