Updated March 30, 2020

My friend, author Katie Craig, tagged me in a post she saw on Instagram from the @greatpumpkinproject, who in turn had shared it from the originating source, @preservehalloween, about Quarantine-o-ween:

Correction: @preservehalloween was not the originating source. That honor goes to Roxanne Rhoads of A Bewitching Guide to Halloween. (Find both on Insta: @roxannerhoads and @thebewitchingcauldron.)

Preserving Halloween, saving Halloween (the Save Halloween Petition link in the menu will take you to a petition we started to keep Halloween as is), whatever you want to call it, we’re all about this beloved holiday.  Let’s get our Quarantine-o-ween on!

Halloween in March

Normally April 30 marks the halfway-to-Halloween mark, but with all this COVID-19, novel coronavirus social distancing stuff we are not living during normal times, are we?

Might as well have a little fun with it.

Plus, who I am kidding? Any time I get a chance to dress up, I’m on it!

I present to you exhibits A, B and C, all taken this March:

Exhibit A
Courtney Mroch in helmet ready to race at Music City Indoor Karting
Got my helmet on ready to race go karts at Music City Indoor Karting! (One of the last outings we had before the coronavirus quarantine.)
Exhibit B
Courtney Mroch in green wig and Irish Leprechaun top hat for St. Patrick's Day
Coronavirus didn’t hamper my St. Patty’s Day celebrations. Got decked out to record A Haunt Mess podcast with my co-hosts (via Skype from the safety of our own homes, of course. We’re responsible social distancers!)
Exhibit C
Haunted Headlines YouTube thumbnail
All decked out in my Haunted Headlines garb!

How to Participate

Preserve Halloween made it pretty easy to participate in Quarantine-o-ween by neatly laying out the steps with their concise infographic:

  • Decorate for Halloween
  • Dress up in a Halloween costume
  • Take photos (and presumably video)
  • Share it online using the tag #quarantineoween

When

Tuesday, March 31, all day long!

  1. @RoxanneRhoads on Instagram was actually the originator of the Quarantine-O-Ween graphic. I made it and shared on all my social media accounts.

    Thanks

    OH! Thanks for the heads up, Roxanne! I’ll be sure to fix that in the post!
