The first Halloween after I got married was a turning point for me. We lived on the edge of the Philadelphia Ghetto. I looked forward to Trick or Treaters, and got lots of candy and a pumpkin for the porch. No trick or treaters showed up. After that I didn't care much any more. Now it is so commercialized it's not as much fun. We enjoyed the spook show at the Renaissance Fair. Three quarter moon and nice weather. It's a backwoods affair done by a family near here. They bring in lots of people and have a scary path through the woods with spooks and skeletons jumping out at you, and girls screaming as if they are being scalped. It cost $5 each, and I had enough fun to call it worth while. I was not really scared though. Three years ago I spent the night in the woods by myself at a spot where five men were murdered, and it did not bother me a bit. I'm not really a scaring sort of man, I guess. Some years ago they had a movie called "The Blaire Witch Project," which was supposed to scare the pants off you. It did not scare me, because it was just people being in the woods at night, and I am pretty cool with that.
