I love Halloween, it's always been one of my favorite holiday's. You get to pretend to be a scary creature, then you go knock on people's doors and you get free candy, it doesn't get any better than that right? Still though, when you think about it, Halloween really is just downright weird!
Originally people started dressing up as frightening creatures because they believed on this day, the spirits of the dead came into our world or something like that. Our way of fooling these spirits was dressing up like them so they would leave us alone. However nowadays it seems that people dress up as pretty much anything! I'm really not sure how dressing up like celebrities or famous people is supposed to be scary. Unless it's a dead celebrity...then maybe...an undead Jim Varney would scare the hell out of me. Or you can dress up as Spongebob...but maybe have a meat cleaver in his head.
Another thing about Halloween that's strange is for this one day out of the year, begging for food from complete strangers is completely acceptable. Imagine on any other day of the year if you tried putting on a hockey mask and went knocking on someone's door at night begging for stuff. You'd probably get whacked upside the head.
As I said though I really do enjoy this holiday no matter how strange it may be. I love getting scared and it's so much fun to scare others...plus ya'know, free candy, you just can't beat free candy. Happy Halloween ya'll.
