Boo!
Hallowe'en is a festival of the imagination.
It's a good time for both adults and kids to put away their electronic gadgetry and reach back into their own abilities to create heroic and scary mental scenarios for the fright night.
Like all the other seasonal festivals, Hallowe'en gives us something to brighten up what is often a cold and dreary seasonal change. It celebrates the death of another growth cycle and warns of the looming gloom of the dark months to follow.
Our ancestors were never too sure they will survive the months ahead before the spring resurrection. That is what probably injected a note of fear into the occasion.
Have fun.
