Guys, I have to be a cheerleader about this: Support Halloween!
Get out there and attend those attractions. Drag your friends along. Buy pumpkin everythings. Pass out candy, treats, plastic goodies. Advertise Halloween! Take care of it and it will take care of you. Get out there and do your part! If you can't spend money, draw a jack-o-lantern on a napkin and tape it to your window. Advertise--buy--sell--get out and yell. Make Halloween commercially viable in any way you can by both spending money and encouraging people's interest in it.

We still have about ONE WEEK. Get out there and make it count. It's the only horror-themed holiday, it kicks ass, and it deserves the support of the horror community. Doing good work for Halloween will make you a happier person.
