If you can't wait for October to start diving into aesthetic autumn games, you're not alone! June and July means it's time to celebrate Summerween and enjoy all things spooky and summery at the same time.
What is Summerween? Summerween is an unofficial summer holiday that starts to celebrate all things spooky during the summer months. This tradition originated through the animated show Gravity Falls, and also through the classic movie Halloweentown. Halloweentown has spooky Halloween festivals all year round, and cities all over the U.S. have started adopting the same tradition. Summerween means campfires, slasher films, and Practical Magic vibes.
