Spooky szn, as the kids on the internet say, is here!

We are in full Halloween mode across the Hudson Valley. The haunted attractions are in full effect and kids (and yes, even adults) are getting in on the Halloween costume fun. Earlier this week we learned that Barbie is the most popular costume across the country and locally in the Hudson Valley.

Hudson Valley SFX Makeup Artist Shines During Spooky Szn

If you're not into Halloween but can appreciate the effort that is put into a really good Halloween costume, we have to introduce you to Jamilyn Boldrin. She's a special effects makeup artist from Wappingers Falls, New York.

You may have seen her work on our sites before. Over the last few years, Boldrin has taken her love of Halloween and makeup and combined the 2 into an event that I look forward to all year.

Boldrin celebrates the 31 Days of Halloween by sharing her Halloween makeup creations on social media. Each day she uploads a photo of a new wicked look.

With each new photo, comes a video that tells the story in fun transitions and songs that tell the story behind the makeup creation.
