Halloween is my favorite holiday. It occurs during my favorite
season. Mybirthday’s about ten days removed, it’s the middle of football season, I’m cooking “real” food, and the air’s got a nice snap to it. For many, Halloween’s about trick-or-treating, costumes, candy, pranks, haunted houses, parties, great TV...yanno, cool shit like that. For me, it’s always been about the candy, movies and costumes, but as I got older, I became fascinated with the origins of the holiday.
