Halloween

Children Want to be Scared

In the midst of all the ghosts, goblins, clowns, and princesses that braved their way up my driveway and into my horror-themed garage to get their fun-sized chocolate bar, I had a realization…kids want to be scared. Mine was the only house in the small town that was, well…a little overkill (no pun intended) decorated for the holiday. Severed heads gory enough to draw stink-eyed stares and comments from neighbors, blood spatter, eerie candles, a smoke machine and various other ornamentation to set the mood of terror covered the area where nearly a hundred children came for their treat. My decorations were not new; neither was my highly elaborate costume. The new part was the fact that after about 45 minutes of trick-or-treating almost every costumed-visitor or their accompanying parents mentioned that kids all over were making comments like: “we were told that we have to come to the
