Comments on: Ghosts and Goblins and Go-Go Poles http://www.prosaicshadesofgray.com/2008/10/27/ghosts-and-goblins-and-go-go-poles/ The internet is a huge bathroom wall, and any halfwit with a keyboard and a connection has an opportunity to scrawl on it. Take me, for instance. My name is KZ. For a good time, come find me at Prosaic Shades of Gray.

I have to say I agree with you and those 'haunts'. Although I have managed to avoid them for almost 10 years now, I remember the last one I had gone to... it went like this, people growling and forcing their way in front of me to bar my path. After forcing my way through trying to hold in my laughter, I had to remember to check my pockets to ensure my wallet was still there. Now Halloween is mostly about getting my kids dressed up and taking them out trick or treating and hiding the candy from them (they aren't smart enough yet to hide it from me) to be distributed a little at a time over the next 6 months.

But at the same time you can look at this situation as you would watching a movie. If you were able to think about how all these things you're watching are just people acting and how the drama is nothing really more then just words on a page, then you would probably feel the same about movies as you do about haunts. However, movies are produced way better so it's much easier to suspend your reality and actually care whether or not Juno actually has that damn baby.

Admit that you're just a big fuddy duddy :-) By your same logic, anyone that puts themselves out there for our amusement should make you uncomfortable; actors/actresses, dancers (they become more than people, it's art), comedians, etc. I think your dislike of Halloween stems from it bringing out your inner fear of things that go bump in the night :-) Tsk.
