With Halloween fast approaching, it’s time to get into the spooky spirit, which is why BACARDÍ and UPROXX have teamed up for Good Spiritsa campy series about Halloween traditions, folklore, legends and stories, with some of our favorite horror images.
We have our first guest Scarecrow scream queen Lauren LaVera, who sat down with us to talk about what she loves about acting in the horror genre, what draws her to Halloween, and how to throw the perfect party, from the decorations to the dance floor to the cocktail she likes to start the night with.
For LaVera, Halloween is all about behaving yourself, which is why the centerpiece of her party is a foggy dance floor where guests can express themselves completely uninhibited. In her case, that means getting into her “feminine rage” with Ashnikko’s terrifying playlist. Honestly, that sounds like our kind of party! Leave it to a scream queen to throw the ultimate Halloween bash.
At the end of the episode, LaVera offers us all a toast: “Embrace yourself, love yourself, and have the best Halloween ever.”
Watch the first episode of Good Spirits above, and kick off the Halloween season the right way.
