oh, there were a zillion kids there dressed to the nines in their little costumes. I popped into the mall the other day with a girlfriend and they were having a trick or treat fest. I mean really, what’s the point of all of this? homes are decorated with witches and spider webs and jack-o-lanterns (which by the way came about from an old story about a man named stingy jack and the devil, did you know that?). ![]() i remember going through our candy with a fine tooth comb while trying to figure out what looked suspicious and tainted.īut hey, what can you expect from a holiday that celebrates everything evil? you’ve got people walking around like mummies and half-dead characters with fake blood pouring from their mouths. our parents repeatedly told us to only go to the homes of people we knew because there were all kinds of weird folk out poisoning candy and giving kids apples with razor blades. Please, i was wonder woman for three years straight! honey, i thought i WAS wonder woman, okay? i even had a complete clown costume once, but even when i was a kid trick or treating wasn’t safe. I didn’t always feel this way about halloween because well…what kid is going to turn up an opportunity to go around the neighborhood with all her friends, dressed in a cute costume, yelling trick or treat at the neighbors and getting free candy in return? My husband has called me a punk on more than one occasion for closing my eyes when a “buffy the vampire slayer” commercial came on, but so what. i usually turn my head, cover my eyes or switch the channel. I don’t like being frightened so i refuse to watch scary movies and i don’t even like commercials for scary movies. first, there’s the whole history of the holiday (which you can find here), and then all the spooky crap that comes with. i mean i’m just not into the whole thing.
