(FOUR) CLASSIC HORROR
Not just classic horror movies, but classic horror TV! There are specific Halloween episodes of old sitcoms that are just as memorable as their series finales. The Simpsons have been putting great Tree House of Horror episodes out for decades now. We got Charlie Brown, Twilight Zone marathons, and all of that good stuff. Halloween gets it’s televised-due. Do I even need to mention the movies? We all have our favorites and we all have more than enough opportunity to enjoy this.
(THREE) HALLOWEEN PARTIES
Halloween parties are pretty nifty. They can involve costumes, free candy, creepy decorations, and random games people don’t give enough credit to. The whole bobbing for apples thing is just strange, but the idea and tradition of it is cool. I’d be happy to just see a bowl of water with like 2 apples in it. You know, just for atmosphere.
(TWO) EXCUSE FOR SLUTTINESS
This makes me uncomfortable. As a flamingly-hetro male I’m ALL FOR women feeling comfortable with themselves enough to wear as little clothing or as much clothing as they want. If it’s “on display” it WILL be appreciated. It’s just why do all female Halloween costumes require sluttiness? Why does there have to be some kind of sexy twist to it? It’s like there’s a chunk of the female population who suddenly decides it’s okay to let their slut-flag fly on Halloween. It’s like a full moon to a wolf. They get all crazy and start howling for no good reason. Ladies, you don’t need to do this.
(ONE) REESES PUMPKINS
The best candy of all time. Reeses Pumpkins are the best candy of ALL time. The normal peanut butter cup is good but I’d put it on par with a Snickers or other random candy. It’s all a preference thing. But come three periods of the year, Reeses releases shapes! During Halloween they put out Pumpkins, Easter gets eggs, and Christmas gets trees. The peanut butter to chocolate ratio of these pieces is magical. I don’t even look forward to the holidays all that much anymore, but it’s hard not to look forward to these pieces of sugary sweet pleasure.
