Halloween horrors, terrors, hauntings and parties
Free candy. Visits from the undead. Werewolves and sexy nurses slamming margaritas in crowded bars. If Halloween isn’t the greatest day on the calendar, it’s easily the most entertaining.
For 364 days a year, all of us plod along on pretty much the same existential plane, sharing pretty much the same existential destiny: Birth. School. Work. Death.
