The costumes, the candy, the playful nature of it all – these are just some reasons why Halloween is my second-favorite holiday. The treat of the holiday isn’t the candy, it’s the movies. There are horror movies like “The Shining” and ones that are more fun like “Hocus Pocus.” There’s even Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” music video. Another favorite part of the holiday is trick or treating. However, I am getting older, so now I can go over to friends houses where we can eat candy together and get in costume just for the fun of it. Halloween is the one time of the year where seriousness is put aside and we embrace the joy that comes with fall.
