I'm Not There

This year's Halloween season is sadly complete., I reflect on what it is that makes Halloween so special for some of us.  It has been stated by many lovers of this deliciously dark holiday that Halloween is not just contingent of a single night, but of an entire spooky season.  Depending on your love or ADD, the Halloween season can start the second the Halloween greeting cards hit the shelves at the store, usually August or September. It is during this season where some of us relish in the preparation for the big day.  We strive to consciously and unconsciously recreate the childhood memories and activities that defined Halloween for us.  Activities like watching horror movies, decorating the house or planning spooky outings.  Mos of the pleasure lies in preparing and anticipating that October 31st night.

UNI: So this is about witches now? TLW: Actually, there’s no real witch in the movie, it’s a working title we’re thinking of changing...

Ruining Halloween  Halloween is the only traditional holiday where it is accepted and expected for people of all ages to dress up in a costume.  Over the years, some of the men's costumes being sold have become increasingly and objectively weak.  If a witch was to re create men's costumes in her cauldron, she would add some laziness juice mixed with a good amount of  narcissist powder and topped off with a splash unfunny.  To prove this, I browsed Party City's website under the New Men's Costumes section.  Below are the gems that 2017 has produced: Chewbacca       Ripped pajamas with work boots, a man purse and a cheap mask.  If you're going to go through the trouble of wearing that cheap plastic mask, shouldn't the rest of the costume be better quality?  For some reason Chewie really wants you to see he has human hands, hopefully attached to the arms he ripped off of whoever though this was a good costu...
