October 16, 2012 When it comes to Halloween movies, the hands-down favorite in the Greg "Splashin'" McShea household is the 1993 film, "Hocus Pocus". If you've never seen it, it's a comedy that features Bette Midler at her witchiest best, along with Sarah Jessica Parker (before her starring role in "Sex And the City").

The leaves are falling, the air is cooler and the feel of Halloween is in the air. Our son Dylan has his costume picked out already but still I thought I'd visit some stores in the area and create a list of popular selling costumes along with some idea's of what we'd like to see on Halloween.
