In a few hours, we’ll be celebrating our favourite time of the year. As I’m writing this post, Soforah is cooking our traditional Pumpkin Pastas and a delicious Tiramisu to keep us going through our horror movie night. The apartment is decorated, the tree leaves have the right colour and The Headless Horseman is once more riding the skies of Azeroth, all is good… So here’s our program for this year’s celebration:

We’ll first be collecting as many Tricky Treats from the Candy Buckets of The Dragon Isles and Khaz Algar. Then we’ll be watching the Family Guy’s Halloween Special and the latest Simpson’s Tree house of Horror (from season 35, do you believe that?!) while the Gratin will be in the oven. During the dinner, we’ll watch the original Halloween movie then we’ll be stuffing ourselves with the dessert while watching Longlegs.

While coming back from groceries shopping this morning, I found this flyer in our mailbox and it made us incredibly happy to see that Halloween is still kicking, even in our neighbourhood.

If you wonder why I’m using this illustration of Brand New’s album cover for the Halloween post… Well, it’s because The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me is probably the most iconic album for this season. Since the day we first heard it at Caroline music (Liège) many years ago, this album has been the embodiment of all we love in this season, from the album cover to the excellent “You won’t know”.

Finally, I’ll leave you with this timeless gem from internet:

Happy Halloween!

I am a glorious delver! If you play The War Within, you probably already know that in order to complete this meta achievement, you must kill Zekvir all on your lonesome.

I’m a Beast Mastery Hunter using the Open World / Delves Pack Leader build from Wowhead, my ilvl at the moment of the kill was 605. Brann was level 32, he was specced as healer with Unbreakable Iron Idol and Relic of Sentience. It took me between around 20 attempts to complete it.

I used Deadly Boss Mods to warn me of the different phases, a Weak Aura alert to interrupt Enfible Spittle and a macro to counter shot the target of my focus, so I don’t have to swap targets:

#showtooltip Counter Shot
/cast [@focus,exists,harm,nodead][] Counter Shot

There are 3 things to look for:

1. Interrupt Enfeebling Spittle. Its cast time is 1.5 seconds, so you must practice to use your Counter Shot macro really fast;
2. You must, in absolute priority, destroy the cocoon that Zekvir creates when he casts Call Web Terror. If you let it hatch, you’ll be incapacitated and probably die from Zekvir’s other spells;
3. Don’t stand in the shit! Whether it’s Zekvir’s frontal attack or its AOE Fear, run away!

So the whole fight consists in DPSing Zekvir while interrupting its DOT and switching to the cocoons when he summons them. Don’t forget to heal your pets, stay out of his attacks and use your CDs on the cocoons, because they need to be destroyed in priority.

I start the fight by applying Hunter’s Mark, marking Zekvir as target of my /focus, using Misdirect on my pets and already using Mend Pet before pulling.

My greatest advice is to do it again and again until you get comfortable with the mechanics. The amount of attempt isn’t limited and, beside the repair bill, it’s free. Oh, and don’t do like me during my first 10 pulls, make sure that Growl is on!

Slasher trilogy with a ’90s vibe. These words are enough for me. If you need more, the future of our friendship seems compromised and I don’t really know how you ended up on this blog. However, I’ll write a little something, for those who would need an extra push.

Teenagers accidentally cross path with an ancient witch responsible for a series of brutal murders that have plagued their town for centuries. This trilogy crosses time and takes place in the 90s (first movie), the 70s (second movie) and 1666 (third movie).

Fear street is a great blend of ocult mystery, slasher and ’90s nostalgia. It’s well filmed, stylish, and very entertaining! The cast is near perfect and the soundtrack is on spot.

Even if the movies often feel like an homage to classics slashers like Friday the 13th or Scream, it it manages to get its own flavor by adding supernatural elements for flavor and it all works!

I was pleasantly surprised by this Netflix Original trilogy and I would strongly recommend it to the fans of the genre.
