Día de los Muertos!

Happy Dia De Los Muertos! Dia De Los Muertos also known as Day of the Dead and All Souls Day, it is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and some parts of the US which focuses on gatherings of friends and family to pray for and remember their loved ones that have passed. The celebration occurs on November 1st and November 2nd in connection with the Catholic holiday of All Saints' Day which occurs on November 1st and All Souls' Day which occurs on November 2nd. Some traditions include building private altars honoring the dead, using sugar skulls, marigolds, and their favorite foods and beverages of the departed, and visiting graves with these as gifts.

It wouldn't be me without a horror movie to watch:


All Souls Day: Dia de los Muertos : In 1892, Vargas Diaz, a murderous greedy villain, looted an Aztec tomb belonging to the goddess of death located in the town of Santa Bonita, Mexico. The many that died at Diaz’s hands cannot rest and continually demand human sacrifices. Today the town of Santa Bonita is a ghost town, and those who stumble upon the village never leave. A young couple, Joss and Alicia, are unfortunate enough to get stranded there and discover the town’s secret history. The only way to save themselves and let the dead rest lies with Diaz himself, but there’s no earthly way he could still be living today…
