October just ended, and with it, ended a spooky season. The beginning of October is always special, with the cold just starting to seep into the weather, the wispy remaining of the summer still there, the sun still in the sky. It’s also when all the spooky decorations start getting put up at people’s houses.

All this, in celebration of Halloween! The Halloween decorations are all always exuberantly arranged on people’s front yards or porches, things like pumpkins and stuffed ghosts, witches and basically anything else you might see in a children’s horror movie. Some of the cooler decorations also include motion sensor witches, which yell or say menacing words in a witches voice every time you walk past. Some of the Dracula or vampire decorations also raise their hands as you walk past. There’s always this one house in the neighborhood that’s the most extravagant of all, with the coolest decorations and the best candy.
