Happy Halloween!

Go to CruxDreams.com
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Hondo manor will be decked out to give the kids a thrill. My house has become a favorite haunt for the kids in my neighborhood for years. I have kids asking months in advance if it will be like last year. I tell them even better:devil: I have fog machines, black lights, life size witches, mummies, corpses coming out of graves, etc. I dress as a scary monster. The kids , and their parents always hang around and take pictures. It helps that my house is built kind of like a small scale amityville horror house :devil:

And it must be close to Halloween, because I was visiting a cemetery today and ran across a zombie lady.

She became interested in me so I figured I should move on. Zombies are pretty slow, so I left on foot to visit the grave I came to visit.
As I was looking for the gravesite I was interested in, I can across a beautiful nude witch, wearing what I am sure Barb would deem hideous shoes:p

I then proceeded to visit the mausoleum, and met another very beautiful, and nude witch, celebrating Halloween early.

All in all, a very interesting visit to the cemetery.

Some Halloween themed drawings found from who knows where.

For me Halloween is something that happens in American TV shows and film. I find it strange that younger generations here have picked up the idea, which the shops push of course, but around here very few young people go trick or treating. It's often very young ones with their parents.
Teenagers accept it as an opportunity to have parties and watch scary movies.

For Australians of my generation it's an unwanted cultural import. The following has been posted and shared widely in Australia on Facebook :)

The same is true of France. When we lived there in the 1990s the day passed unremarked, though Nov 1, Toussaint, was celebrated, typically with visiting ancestor's graves, as they do in Mexico, where it is a huge deal (Dia de Los Muertes). But going back to France in October in the 2000s I found most of the stores had American-style Halloween displays. i suppose it stimulates sales.
