Halloween

                Halloween is a holiday very unique from the others. For this day, you can dress up and become something you usually are not. It gives you an excuse to eat a lot of candy, and can bring a lot of excitement. Most kids love to go trick-or-treating. This consists of dressing up as what you would like and going around from door to door for candy. It is interesting to see how into it people get. Some people don’t do anything; they turn off their porch light and hide from the trick-or-treaters, not even passing out candy. Some only give out candy, or maybe even cans of pop, pencils, or other small items they may have. Others though get really into this holiday, and will decorate the entirety of their front yard with blow-up spiders and fake stone heads that screech when you walk by.

Once while I was out with a friend, a house had two zombie looking creatures sitting in chairs in front of the house that you had to walk by to be able to get to the door. We weren’t sure if they were real, but they were sitting quite still so we went ahead. We got our candy and to our relief weren’t scared at all, but then when we least expected it one of the figures stood up and groaned then started running towards us. It took a few minutes to calm down, but at least we had gotten our candy.

Another great thing about Halloween is that for the whole month of October, scary movies seem to be everywhere. Some may not see this as great, but scary movies are fun to watch when with the right people.  There are also a lot of haunted houses to go to. Most are just walking through a path while people dressed as clowns, zombies, monsters, and more, jump out at you from behind conveniently places tables and shadows. Some though, are much more intense. I know of one that is fifty floors and the higher you get the scarier it becomes. Starting on one of the floors, the workers are allowed to touch the people walking through. The whole point of Halloween is fright and madness, which some people love and others hate. It is a time to get together with family and friends and do your best to scare them the best you can for fun. (402)
