Now, I'm not going to point you to all the Halloween shows I've done but I did want to take the time to find answers to questions about Halloween that I've had which I only think about on Halloween but am too busy eating candy to remember to look up after Halloween. Here they are:
Why do fundamentalist Christians hate Halloween? Maybe the answer is pretty obvious, but it's nice to have it laid out. Here is a web page explaining their objections from their point of view.
Are you old enough to recall when there was a scare about people putting razor blades in Halloween candy? Did those things really happen? Apparently they did not.
How about all that Satan worship stuff everyone lost their shit about in the 80s & 90s. That's all over now, right? Um, no. No it's really not.
This is a weird one I just discovered on Snopes: A blue bucket is said to indicate the child has autism? This is a weird world.
We didn't buy much candy-type stuff today - actually, we bought organic fruit roll-ups types that the wife likes in case we don't give many away - but I did notice that there's something called a Treat Map on Next Door Dot Com which lets parents know who has candy. I think that's neat. But I
still don't think we'll get many trick or treaters.
