Do you dream in Halloween?

Visions of neon orange and black, sometimes peppered with purples and bright shades of lime?

The spiced (though sometimes maligned) flavors of pumpkin spice; the scent of sickly-sweet caramels mingling with salty popcorn smells.

Stranger aromas abound as well...sharp scents of rubber and latex, whiffs of fog machine liquid and of plastics whose smells shift slightly with each passing decade.

Then there's the indescribable yet unmistakable fragrance of a freshly-gutted pumpkin patiently waiting for its new face..

Yet Halloween is not all bright color and familiar odors: it brings with it the potential for grave danger. Every year the warnings come, arriving promptly with the chill of autumn mornings. 3

The veil thins and all kinds of unknowable things creep through the ether, yet the warnings and tales of woe are always more terrestrial...

"Have you checked your candy?"

"Did you hear about the teen who accidentally hung himself in front of a crowd of people at the haunted house where he worked?"

And in some communities, rumours of Satanists in the woods or of clowns in vans begin to appear, cyclically like the falling of the leaves.

While incidents and deaths on Halloween are rare and strangers giving kids poisoned candy is the purview of urban legend, the story of Ronald Clark O'Bryan and the poisoned pixie stick IS real.

And yes, people have died while working in haunted attractions...died while trying to scare the audience.

Perhaps that's why we focus on the evil that exists beyond the veil....and on the tastes and smells, the more sensual delights of Halloween...
