Trick or Treat

                   Ben Cooper boxed costumes from K-Mart ( Fangface favorite). Dead leaves crunching under Velcro laced sneakers. Black-light colored cardboard ghouls with crepe paper limbs. Black cats and jack o lanterns. Eerie lights, morbid music and death rattle voices. Plastic pumpkin buckets bloated with chocolate bars and Smarties. " Witch's Night Out" cartoon special on TV. Late night spook shows hosted by monster men in make-up. Mercer Meyer's "Little Monster" bedtime stories. Don't forget to check in the closet and under the bed. Turn my night light on!
