In this day and age the idea of Halloween is scary and dated. Dressing up your kids and walking around dark streets and up to people's houses to ask for candy is such a freighting idea. You don’t know whose house you are going up to.
Autumn means crunchy leaves, ghosts, gourds, and pumpkin spice everything. And, for many, it's also time to dig out the Halloween decorations to get the house looking its creepiest.
