Halloween (also spelled Hallowe'en)
is an annual holiday
celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian
holy day of All
Saints. It is largely a secular celebration but some have expressed strong
feelings about perceived religious overtones.
Thanks
to Wikipedia for always putting everything in perspective. I don’t want to say
that events described as “largely secular” are the most fun, because I mean
Christmas is pretty good, but there’s something about an event that is held to
just have fun. Nothing else to it: dress up, eat candy, go to a party and dance
until someone asks you to bob for apples or eat some strange cake with licorice
that looks like spiders.
So get
out there (after the show) and if you’re home tonight, enjoy the show. And
remember stay secular.
And as promised: a fine collection of gruesome film deaths.
