I saw a comic strip the other day that made me chuckle. It
was a cartoon of a mom carefully instructing her costumed children before they
approached a door on Halloween night. The mother had a speech balloon above her
head that read, “Okay kids, remember: never talk to a stranger. Never take
candy from anyone you don’t know. And never go to strangers’ houses, except for
the day we worship the devil.” That pretty much sums up my feelings about
Halloween. Other countries don’t do this sort of thing on Halloween or any
other night. Demonic costumes and strangers aside, it’s not like we need
another excuse to raise our blood sugar level and rot our teeth. I’m bowing out
of the madness. If I could afford it, I’d be AWOL every Halloween. When I can't you'll find me watching Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff in my basement, with all the
upstairs lights off.
