Skellingtons, Vampires, and Pumpkins

Halloween, day where demons come out and 
when you can dress up and be something your not.
Eat loads of candy and get scared. Heh.
 
So Halloween is the best holiday of the year, and I know you agree with me. Its the time where you can dress up and be whatever you'd like with out worrying about someone else's input on what you look like. The day where eating a load of candy, having fun, screaming, laughing, partying, and tricking thousands of people that just walk on by without getting in trouble.  When it comes down to it, just being able to celebrate a holiday in such a way is exciting. I mean come on, you get to walk around town in a costume, knowing that some might not recognize you and you can scare the living crap out of people. But be aware that you might get beat up if your scary enough. Candy, the sugary goodness  and the best invention in the world. Its amazing how candy is made, I recently watched a show on Food Network that explained how gummy worms, chocolate, snickers, and other candies were made! Did you know that Pop Rocks were an accident? The original maker was only trying to make a soda! Cool huh! 


    Halloween, is of Celtic, and other practices. Halloween was long thought of to be the day where the dead can come back to life and wander around the earth spooking people. Which is why Celtic customs say that people lighted bonfires and wore costumes around to scare away the wandering ghosts. Around the 19th- century, Halloween began to loose its connotation and turned into a normal childrens holiday. What I believe is the most fun about Halloween is the fact that you can dress up, eat candy, and spook your friends and family. The scariest thing that I have done on Halloween is walk through a corn-field in Oregon and get chased by people dressed up as scarecrows. Ooooeeeooo. Some people say that they would rather buy their own candy, and sit home watching television instead of go outside and enjoy peoples scary costumes, I would much rather party and scare people. Whats better then trick-or-treating? Absolutely nothing. Or is there?





I happened to do a survey at school asking people questions about Halloween such as, Whats your input on slutty costumes? Do you like them or not? What do you see the most out of costumes? What do you like about them? Do you enjoy trick or treating? Whats fun about it? what would you prefer doing on Halloween other then trick-or-treating? And what is the most scariest thing you've done on Halloween? Now, 46.6% of people love slutty costumes because of the fact that you can be what you want and if someone wants to dress slutty they can, along with making girls look hot its all that matters; but the other 20% doesn't like slutty costumes because its inappropriate for people under 16 to wear them and the other 34% are undecided. When the question, what do you see the most out of costumes and what do you like about costumes, came along I got many different answers. Alot of people were seeing slutty costumes, princesses witches, vampires, pirates, actors, actresses and spiderman. When it came to liking the way costumes were around it all came down to enjoying that you can be anything or anyone you like without being judged and being able to show your creativity. 

  Trick or treating was an easy question for everyone, it was all 'Yeah! I love getting free candy' or 'Whats better then eating candy all night?' So that one went well and if I do say so myself, free candy is a plus. Everyone would much rather do something else other then trick-or-treating due to the fact that most of them would rather party, hand out the candy, do nothing, watching scary movies, and fighting people. It varied for the last question, What was the most scariest thing you've done on Halloween, all of them were weird like 'watching my cat get eatin', 'nothing', Haunted ships and houses, the Texas Chainsaw Massacure, flashing cops, egging some ones house, running across the street in 7in heels, and going to the cemetery late at night. Not the most excitingly scary things to do or witness but its alright for what I thought they'd say.

Do you like Halloween? I bet you do, Go spook a pal, go spook your family. Drink some blood, and you'll be just like me. Haha. 

Have a Happy Halloween.. May the spirits be with you!!
