Several years ago The Bee and I made a decision to spend Halloween night at home and thus Halloween Gluttonfest was born. Since The Bee goes to a Catholic school and has November 1st (All Saints Day) off, there is no pressure to make it an early evening. We take total advantage of a weekday movie night complete with pizza ordered from Leandro’s, soft drinks and junk food…HEY!
With the move to a new neighborhood, and our family now including The Librarian, The Bee and I had a chat abut how the tradition would continue. Should we dress up and go door to door meeting our new neighbors under the guise of getting candy? Would Halloween Gluttonfest be missed since Halloween falls on a night I am scheduled to be at my partime gig? Should we scrap our old plans and create a new tradition to include The Librarian? Should we open our house to neighbors, creating a new Halloween experience? We decided to continue Halloween Gluttonfest and this year we are going to include a movie on Demand from Verizon Fios.
Get it ON DEMAND!
We have a free rental, a gift from Fios when we moved services, and we plan on using it towards our double feature movie night. We are going to start with Nerve with a Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which premieres this week on Starz. It’s going to be a night of getting comfy, chowing down on pizza and enjoying our movies between greeting trick or treaters visiting our home.
Want to have a movie night of your own? Check out the family friendly options available on Demand from Fios! Browse the selections available under the Kids Halloween section and find titles as low as 99c!
We’re all ready for our Halloween Gluttonfest ’16 and hope you have a howling good Halloween!

Sounds like a nice Hallowevening. Snacks and movies are always the best. I need to look for these movies.
What a fun evening. Son is having a Halloween sleepover with friends and watching creepy movies.
Gluttonfest sounds like something I could thoroughly enjoy. Candy and a movie at home? Yes please!
HAHHA….well I will be over at my daughter’s house helping with the grandkids. For people who will be home, this sounds like a great way to spend the evening. I wish is was a Saturday night though!!
Agreed. Sleeping in on the weekend after eating all the snacks.
Love the idea of Halloween Gluttonfest! What could be better than a night of movies and snacks?!
More snacks!
I am always up for a movie with snacks.
Right?! Ok. Snack. I’m always up for snacks.
What a great idea! My son doesn’t do Halloween anymore, so we’re doing chili and movie!
Yum, chili!
It sounds like it was a fun evening!
It really was!
