Take this oppotunity to reflect on your experiences dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting candy. Share your stories of spooky or scary things particularly involving death, magic, or mythical monsters! Perhaps you've had encounters with commonly-associated Halloween characters including ghosts, ghouls, witches, bats, black cats, owls, goblins, zombies, skeletons and demons, as well as certain fictional figures like Dracula and Frankenstein's monster!
As you've grown older and become accustomed to the bitter reality that is life, you or someone you know may have been taught that a child usually "grows out of" trick-or-treating by his or her teenage years and teenagers and adults instead often celebrate Halloween with costume parties, staying home to give out candy, listening to halloween music, scaring people, or attending social get-togethers.
This is not true. You are supposed to trick-or-treat forever. If you don't, you are a grown-up.
Happy Halloween!
