#howmanyweeksuntilhalloween

So you’re here because you asked yourself the world’s most important question: “How many weeks until Halloween?”

Well, friend, I’ve got you. The countdown is on, the pumpkins are plotting, and yes—your neighbors are already testing out their 12-foot skeleton in the yard. (No judgment. He’s basically family now.)

But while we count down together, let me drop some deliciously spooky knowledge. I dug up 10 spooky facts that will make you the pumpkin spice know-it-all of your friend group.

Read the full list here if you dare.

Here’s a teaser:

The first jack-o’-lantern wasn’t a pumpkin. Nope. Imagine trick-or-treating with a turnip.

Apple bobbing? Started as a weird love fortune-telling game. Imagine dunking your head in water just to see if you’ll marry Chad.

And yes, Halloween really is the second biggest holiday after Christmas—aka Capitalism’s favorite cosplay party.

The rest? Way too spooky to fit here (and also, my blog doesn’t have unlimited candy corn).

So if you’re dying—literally dying—to know: Check out the full countdown + 10 spooky facts you’ll love.
