What Are The Chances Of A Treat?
October 31, 2008 (No Responses)
IN RECENT years it has been three foot high Darth Vadars and six feet high “school girls”, so what do you think my chances are this Halloween of something different?
Yup… exactly what I was thinking too. None. Nada. Zip.
Once the usual round of Spidermen, Batmen, Ghouls and Zombies have gone (let’s call this the first wave) the volume dies down a bit but the age group goes up. It seems to me that once the first wave, usually escorted by parents, passes by your door there is a lull of sorts until the second wave kicks in, and this is when it usually gets a bit weird, and believe me some costumes at Halloween are very very weird.
Last year I can distinctly recall opening the door to two six foot high females in what I can only describe as school girl costumes. What this has to do with Halloween is beyond me. I’ve no idea what age they were, but kids they were not. Maybe they were hookers on a local fundraising tour, who knows.
The point is in recent years the second wave of callers tends to be older, more risque and certainly weirder. But unfortunately with weird does not come inventive or even sexy. Not usually anyway.
So listen up Universe… If you want to make my Halloween special this year, then how about taking note of that photo above and having one of them call to my door looking for a trick or treat, well let’s be honest it’s going to be more of a treat isn’t it?
