Modern Halloween has become less literal about ghosts and ghouls and more about costumes and candy. The holiday is overflowing with action on its reserved night. Kids are so anxious to drag their parents out the door, show off their creative costumes, and ring their first doorbell for a fun-filled night of trick-or-treating as soon as the dismissal bell for school rings. High school students wait until the whole group of friends is together before they head out into the misty darkness with only the flickering street light to guide them. Meanwhile, adults are sipping on their witches brew at a local party or nightclub.…
A young trick-or-treater has a run in with a bully on Halloween night. Unfortunately for the bully, however, it soon becomes apparent that he messed with the wrong kid when his father shows up.…
The Cheesecake Factory, I once believed that the establishment would be a bakery that primarily sold cheesecakes, sweets and such. Although, I’ve never heard much about the restaurant, or what it actually was other than people are familiar with the establishment and only comment on the cheesecakes. Yet, I had not known that that was the place I was dining in, I only believed under presumption of its name that we were going to eat at some other random place when I walked through the doors of the restaurant. Now the reason I say random was the fact that this place was not like how I imagined the praiseworthy Cheesecake Factory to be at all. My expectations of this place was exactly how Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory felt and as colorful as Tim Burton’s remake of Alice in Wonderland was.…
Once upon a time, in the land of Ooo, there was a monster they called The Lich. As he left his cavern he looked down the mountainside to see a group of children from the candy kingdom all out trick or treating. The Lich sent skeleton pirates out to steal their candy. Little would they know they would be taken as well, being that they were themselves made of candy. As the skeletons closed in the kids began to shake, hearing the bushes move and twigs snap. The Lich summoned an undead Minotaur, it growled and roared as it charged after the children, they tried to run but the skeletons had jumped out and cut them off. Frightened by the undead, the candy children trembled a bald eagle came from the sky and snatched them up, taking the children…
Climbing into the lime green car, my fear was over taking me. I was getting ready to ride the Titan, an adrenaline pumping roller coaster ride at Six Flags. It was easily the scariest ride at the park, in my opinion, with its enormous peaks, its deep descents, and double helix like turns was enough to make me sick. The ride began. Ascending up in the car on the canary yellow track, into the humidity filled, bright sky, the people observing from below resembled little army ants . The aerial view of Dallas was breathtaking, as I reached the peak of the ride and looked around. Passengers occupying the cars in front of me started falling off, like a cliff. I let out a high-pitched shrill, as we plummeted toward the Earth below. Traveling…
As a child I was psyched up, I couldn’t wait to look at all the pumpkins and carve it as a dinosaur. I literally was obsessed with dinosaurs until the age of nine. We parked our 1997 Corolla and started to walk to all the bright orange pumpkins. Something was strange from the looks of this place. All the pumpkins had white little tags on them but they weren’t dollar signs like you would expect. They all had words on them, I was only six at the time so I couldn’t read that much. A few words I read out loud from one of the white little tags but struggled to read the whole sentence. My mom was confused too, why would all the pumpkins have stupid little quotes on them she murmured. We soon found out shortly that this was at our advantage and not a disappointment. A tall black man with dreads came out of the trailer by the pumpkin patch and walked up to us. He asked “What can I help you with folks?” My mother asked him about the pumpkins and the quotes on them. He laughed, since it’s three days before Halloween were having a little contest. I looked up at him and…
This is my first introduction to ‘goody bags’. I quickly ran to my mother and asked her if I could have some of the candy in the bag. After all, my friends were eating theirs. She permitted me a few and I quickly chose the ones that caught my eye, leaving all the dull brown ones behind.…

He would always tease you and make fun of your clothes and one time old Ernest and I almost got into a fight.…
This article is “What to Do When You Have a Candy Hangover”. It talks about how you try to resist all of the Halloween candy. You even try to buy the candy you don’t like, but you just can’t resist. Sugar hangovers can happen to both children and adults. It happens when you overload on sugar and sweets. Americans consume almost 4% of their yearly candy intake on Halloween. Four percent calculates to almost 1 pound! According to the American Heart Association, women should only consume up to 3 snickers a day, children up to 2, and teenagers up to 3 or 4. So, on Halloween when you are eating all of the candy you can find, you are exceeding way past the advised limit.…
When I had just graduated Pre-School, my mom decided to throw me a huge party. I decided to stay under the table and play with on my gameboy. When I got hungry and came out, nobody had even noticed I was gone, and they ate all of MY cake. I learned to always keep your eyes on your cake and don’t trust anyone, or they will eat your cake.…
When you pull away the foil the candy is underneath, like a sleeping kitten cuddled in a blanket. When you gaze upon the candy for the first time it’s like getting a little glimpse of heaven. The sight alone is enough to bring grown men to their knees and tears of joy to stream down there face.

It’s sent stays with you for days, wrapping its self around your heart your heart you like the perfume of a beautiful woman.…
The day right after Halloween, of the year of 2014, was the day of my Uncle’s, Pollo’s funeral. It has been 2 weeks since he died in a hospital.

After we ate, we went across the street to go to Riverside School, when we got outside it smelled fine, when we went got to the school there was the worst stench ever! We walked back out the gate and across the street again, to Hannah’s house. We started watching TV, then YouTube, and almost fell asleep until she threw some brownies at me, we started eating them, then we started laughing so much, to where we couldn’t breath, our faces were red, and yet we were still eating the brownies.…
The house is decorated with streamers on the walls and paper skeletons taped to the bathroom doors, there is a cake on the counter, everyone is getting ready to head out for a couple hours [or a hour, depending if I am still willing to keep going or not], the sun is almost set, and everybody is dressed up and ready to start the hunt tonight. If you couldn’t already tell, there are 2 special occasions today[but for most people it is only one special occasion], the day that kids walk upon the streets while dressed up in either monster costumes or as their favorite cartoon/movie/TV character and go door to door, asking for candy at the houses with the lights on. The other occasion, however, is one that can happen any day of the year, one that is celebrated for one or more people at a single time[but only usually only one at a time] and everyone gives the person who is celebrated on this day presents and afterwards[or before] everyone eats cake and ice cream[They don’t always eat ice cream though, and I think pie is better than cake for this occasion]. I like to call this time of year cavity season.…
Today was possibly one of the worst days in a long, long time. It was dreadful. It started off as a nice but breezy day, which we all like here because it gets the sun of your back. Especially when the poor men are out in the fields collecting the harvests.…
