Ah, October. Even during this turbulent year, the Halloween-focused month still doesn't disappoint. There are pumpkin patches [3], pumpkin spice lattes, spooky Halloween decorations [4], horror movie marathons [5], chilly afternoon strolls, and so much more. Very few things really capture the "It's such a mood" sentiment, and October does. We also felt that same way when we saw Nathan Apodaca's (@420doggface208) now-viral TikTok video [6] of him skating down the street while drinking cranberry juice and singing along to Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams." A real mood. It quickly blew up online, earning more than 4.5 million likes and a re-creation by Mick Fleetwood himself. But what if there was a way to combine Apodaca's amazing care-free attitude with the spookiness of October? Well, thanks to designer Kiel James Patrick (@kjp on Instagram), there is.

Kiel took inspiration from Apodaca's TikTok and made a Halloween version [7] that's truly a sight to behold. In the video, Kiel skates down the street while dressed in a festive sweater and wearing a carved pumpkin on his head (with a drawing of two feathers on the side, in homage to Apodaca's tattoo). But instead of casually sipping on cranberry juice, he dumps an entire Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks [8] on himself while attempting to take a sip. (It kinda reminds me of the way I thought 2020 was going to be vs. how it's turned out.) But don't worry — he shakes off the mishap and just keeps on nodding his head to the music and skating down the street. It's the power of October, people!

If — no, when — you want to re-create and/or repost this video with a little humor of your own, here are some caption ideas to get you started:

1. October mood.
2. Halloween vibes.
3. Pumpkin spice or bust.
4. Rolling into pumpkin season like . . .
5. Today's mood.
6. October got me like . . .
7. Number one PSL fan.
8. October obsession: 10/10.
9. Pour some PSL on me.
10. Me when I see one leaf fall outside.

And, because we love it so much, here's Apodaca's video to watch again:
