Our Halloween Ride

DIY Halloween Decorations: Includes FREE Witch Hat Pattern

We like to ride around town on Halloween, looking at the decorations on people’s homes. I don’t have high hopes for this year’s cruise, because it’s been raining like mad all week and who wants to set up decorations in a driving rain? But the overall mood of the country is hardly what you’d call upbeat.

These witches, like the ones pictured above, seem pretty popular this year. All we have is a plastic pumpkin dangling from a tree. It does a bang-up job of scaring off hobbits: haven’t seen one all year.

If it turns out to be an exciting ride after all, I’ll give yiz an update.

‘A Halloween Story’ (2017)

My mother made me a costume like this in fifth grade, and it really spooked the other kids.

I like to re-run this story on Halloween. It might be the best short story I’ve ever written.

A Halloween Story

Really, it would ruin everything if I told you what was under the mask. Too many writers try to dominate their readers’ imaginations. But really, you can’t scare anybody as badly as he can scare himself.

‘Liberals on Halloween: No Fun Allowed’ (2018)

Yes, I know today is not actually Halloween. I’ve saved up a good oldie for tomorrow.

Today we’re going to ride around town enjoying the Halloween decorations… such as they are.

Liberals on Halloween: No Fun Allowed

From what I’ve seen so far, decorated houses are at an all-time low this year. It’s like someone came along and sucked all the joy out of Halloween. Hmm… I wonder who that could’ve been.

A Halloween Gimmick

We share a foyer with the apartment next door, whose tenants have chosen to celebrate Halloween by setting up these little figurines in the foyer. They are activated by motion sensors; so every time someone opens or closes the door, or moves in anyway, these figurines flash lights and chant “Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!” Then they cackle maniacally, like Alexa on a bender.

After about the 50th repetition of this, it gets somewhat annoying. And we’ve got 21 days of it to look forward to.

Somewhere out there, in all probability, is someone who has been driven mad by these very figurines. We don’t even get that many trick-or-treaters. The only way to get them here is to forget to buy candy for them.

I’ve always enjoyed Halloween, but this is adding a burden to it.
