On Halloween you would go to almost every house in town and get bags full of candy. More than you could ever eat. When we were a little older and could go out without a parent, we did more tricking than treating. The morning after, there would be toilet paper hanging from all the trees, smashed pumpkins everywhere and the local grocer, Ralph, would be out of eggs! Pretty harmless fun, if I remember correctly. There was one Halloween I still remember vividly. I was very young and had to go out Trick or Treating with my Mom. I was young enough to still be a little scared by the whole thing. I remember going up to this large brick house on Main Street. I can't recollect who lived there anymore, but we knew them as family friends I believe. The house was pretty dark with a pumpkin or two on the stoop. We approached and my Mom knocked on the door. Nothing happened, she knocked again. All of a sudden the door opens really fast and someone inside the dark hallway reaches out, grabs my Mom who screamed and pulled her inside, slamming the door behind her. I freaked out! I was banging on the door and crying my brains out. I don't remember how long I was out there by myself, probably only a few moments, but I was terrified that a goblin or monster had gotten my Mom. Well, I guess my Mom and these "Friends" had planned this thing all along and I think they felt pretty bad when they saw how scared I was. Don't ever do this to a little kid, because it will stick with them for life! I know. -------------------------------------------------- Make your own Scary Spider Webs using this easy formula. You'll need the following supplies: Plain paper Pencil Waxed Paper Glue Gun Glue Sticks Silver Glitter Fishing Line On the paper draw your spider webs. Then put the waxed paper over the drawing. Using a hot glue gun, trace over the lines that show through the waxed paper, making sure that the lines overlap to give strength to the web. Once you've completed the web, sprinkle the glitter on the glue before it hardens. Let the glue dry completely and peel the web off the waxed paper. Use the fishing line to hang the web. -------------------------------------------------- Webmaster Fred has done it again! He has built a very scary Halloween Feature on the site.
