Halloween Eve #1 – Review

The Story: This Halloween, it’s all about Eve.

The Review: I have a confession to make: I hate Halloween.  In fact, I’d say I hated it even when I was a kid.  I hated traipsing around the town at night, mooching off third-class candy off some of my least favorite neighbors, like Mrs. Wheezer (probably not her real name), who once screamed at me for about ten hours when my soccer ball went astray and landed in her zinnias, which were mostly dead anyway.  I also hate giving candy as much as I hate having to ask for it.

Most of all, I hated getting into costume.  First of all, I stink at arts and crafts of any sort; I pretty much failed Folding, Cutting, and Gluing in elementary school.  Second, I’m of a mind that if I’m gonna wear a costume, I’d like to look good in it, and short and muscle-less does nothing for any outfit.  Third, I never really saw the point of wearing a costume unless you’re in a play or maybe if you have a good joke behind it—like wearing a suit and introducing yourself as an IRS agent auditing for candy, or dressing up like a Greenpeace communist, or going as Land Shark.
