Halloween is the only time when scaring the crap out of people is acceptable. With haunted houses, creepy costumes, and scary scary movies, the whole point of Halloween is to keep you up at night thinking about the monsters waiting in the dark. My favorite urban legend is "The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs." http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/horrors/a/The-Babysitter-And-The-Man-Upstairs.htm. That link will take you there. It's a remake of the original one created in the 1960's. It's a scary one.
My favorite Halloween costume was when I was little. I was about 6. I wore an alligator costume and painted my face green. I don't know why, but for some reason I've always loved it. I will never wear it again though.
I haven't been to a lot of haunted houses, but I love them. The last haunted house I went to was in Breda this year. I went through twice, and my friends made me lead both time. There was a hallway with absolutely no light, and ran through the whole thing, running into walls constantly. It was awesome. I want to go to the Haunted Forest in Ames this year. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and I hope I can celebrate it every year for my entire life. Now that's scary ------------->
