By the time this posts, we will be a few hours away from dusk and the advent of trick or treating for this year's Halloween.
This is a bit weird since we haven't done this in three years.
Last year, the pandemic put the kibosh on trick or treat.
The year before that, a big giant storm blew through and rained out trick or treating for that year.
Well, here at the Fortress of Ineptitude, we are ready. We have sufficient candy and I did put up some Halloween decorations. Granted, the house looks like the saddest Mexican restaurant ever but hey, something is out there by the front door that says we are here for Halloween.
Saturday night is usually movie night for Andrea and myself but instead we opted for a couple of Halloween specials over on Disney+.
Muppet Haunted Mansion is basically a 49 promotional film for the popular Disney World theme park attraction. But with Muppets. Look, the focus is on Gonzo and Pepe the Prawn so we're not talking a top tier effort here.
The special does boast some pretty good musical numbers including a cover of "Dancing In the Moonlight".
And there some laugh out chuckles to be had so it's not the worst way to pass 49 minutes.
Andrea who has a soft spot for Muppets and all things Disney was entertained so I'm good.
The other Disney+ thing we watched was a half hour Mickey Mouse Halloween Spooktackular which originally aired in 2017. The premise is Mickey is challenged to tell 5 nephews a genuinely scary story and keeps failing miserably until he tells the tale of 5 obnoxious brats who get baked into pies!
There's a weird, frantic energy that seems more at home with Ren & Stempy than in a Disney show but it works. It's a surprisingly entertaining half hour.
We flipped over to You Tube to catch the Doctor Who Halloween Trick or Treat Challenge where Jodie Whitaker, Mandip Gil and John Bishop attempt to catch candy in treat buckets.
Mandip always takes these challenges way too seriously.
