The scariest part of Halloween PDF Print E-mail

georgetown_ontario_412My eight-year-old wanted to be a dead bride this Halloween. No way. So we went shopping for a costume. Apparently, the bloodier the mask, the better. Cut arms and spilled organs, rotten skulls, dismembered body parts, blood streaming from mouth – so cool!

I saw a five-year-old at a party dressed as a murder victim. His white shirt had three red spots and blood running down his chest. His face was painted white and black with red streams coming from the sides of his mouth. Everybody thought it was cool. Scary-cool. And then I got Thursday’s paper with the “House of Horrors” on the front page, decorated with rotten skulls and horror movie characters with watery eyes. And in the middle of this “beauty” dad with a small child.

So I wonder what do kids think when they see these masks? Are they scared or are they used to it? Unfortunately, the second seems to be true. And that to me is the scariest part of Halloween…
