Here and there throughout neighborhoods, the walking dead and other-world goons are ready to pounce upon unsuspecting, innocent little children.

But Halloween isn’t just for the in-costume T-Rex and princess-dressed children. There are Goblins, ghosts, witches, and pirates among many of the Halloween characters. There will be those armed with bloody sickles, knives, and swords.

What about the eight-series-and-counting Chucky-loving adults?

Yes, the little kiddies look so darn cute in their costumes and face paintings. Don’t you love it when they say the magic words—Trick or Treat?

Forget about the spooky Halloween attire and maniacs, what do those kids do with all that candy!

One night of costumes and candy is nothing for the average adult Halloween enthusiast.

Let’s face it, many adults are real gore and horror fans, and not just at Halloween. They can feast on the blood, the snap, crackle, and pop of heads, legs, torsos, and other body parts anytime.

Halloween is a special time to pop candy corn and scare the living daylight out of the little ones. The trepidation mounts, and when you least expect, doom strikes! home?”

Whether it’s a haunted house or a horror movie, may the chills and screams be with you.

I love the Geico horror movie commercial.

“If you’re in a horror movie, you make poor decisions. That’s what you do.”

What a true statement! People always make dumb decisions in horror movies.

Deciding to hide behind a wall of chainsaws rather than getting into a running car to escape is what horror fans want potential victims to do. Some like their victims sliced, diced, boiled, baked, or fried.

In a horror movie, a Bloody Mary doesn’t just involve Mary but Tom and everyone else in the film. The bloodier, the better.

You can definitely escape to the dark side if that’s what you’re into this year. As in other years, Halloween 2025, theaters and streaming mediums will serve up bloodcurdling sequels and indies to titillate and satisfy bloodthirsty palates. Chainsaws, axes, meat cleavers, sickles, machetes, Scimitars, or swords will get the job done—not to mention 18-wheelers and other vehicles.

Who are these people who create such nightmarish lore? Oh yeah, we call them talented writers and artists.

Remember Studio 666. What a title! Bible students know that six hundred sixty-six (666) is the number and mark of the beast, the devil, Satan, and Antichrist (s).

You can read all about the being and the sign in the Book of Revelation and other parts of the Bible.

Flip Wilson, a famous comedian, was known for the saying, “The devil made me do it.”

The devil is real, and he is reaping havoc in our society. We experience the horror of Halloween throughout the year in America with school, church, concerts, family, and random killings.

We have many monsters in our society. I have no reason to imagine others as fiendish and worse, but I have nothing against celebrating Halloween.

I no longer watch horror movies due to the graphic content, gore, the potential for nightmares, and other reasons.

Here’s to a safe Halloween celebration and mounds of candy for the kiddies.

I hope you are happy and well.

Have a happy and safe 2025 Halloween!
