:D Seriously. Halloween is to me (and us I suspect) what Christmas is to the rest of America. This is it, the big day of the year when I can channel all my hobbies and creativity into dressing up and going out in public. Not just in black or "goth" but as a no holds barred, make people uncomfortable (in good fun of course) MONSTER!! It's about feeling more alive by celebrating death, feeling unafraid of things that go bump in the night because your one of them. Screw dressing up like a "pimp" or trademark cartoon character. Halloween should be about horror! This year I'm going to every homegrown haunted house, every site of local urban legend ( check out shadowlands.com for places near you), every cemetary I can climb the fence of!
