The best month of the year is finally here, and to mark the arrival of October and the countdown to my favorite holiday, I’ve resurrected my annual Tumblr blog, “31 Days Til Halloween.”

I missed a few days last October, for various reasons, but I’m determined to full the calendar this year. You can follow at 31daystilHalloween.tumblr.com. Tonight it begins with Sam from Trick r Treat, which is on HBO Now (and my television) right now.
