Halloween is scary.

As we were walking home from trick-or-treating, a nine year old walking near us said "I wanna be really scared.  Like, I wanna have nightmares tonight."

Thing is, halloween doesn't need any help to be scary. 

You put on strange itchy clothes.
Then you knock on doors of houses that you usually never go up to.
Angry sounding dogs bark at you.
And in our neighborhood, adult men wearing masks hide in the bushes and jump out at you.
Then the smoke machine and strobe lights turn on so that this thick smoke curls between you and your parents trapping you with these strange people who jump out of bushes. 

One guy who really scared Mowgli felt so bad.  He started trying to apologize, but the first thing out of his mouth was, "Look, it's ok.  I have snacks.  They're good snacks.  Fat free."
