Has anyone's interest / liking of Halloween ebbed or declined, as mine has? Can, and should, I try to get it back?
From the time I was a kid until comparatively recent times, I loved Halloween. As an adult, sometimes I liked Halloween very dark and psychologically twisted. Other times it was a time to spend with children at carnivals, parties, and activities. In all times, it was shamelessly theatrical. Haunted houses and grotesque denizens of a Lovecraft or Stephen King nature excited my imagination. And here was one night it all came alive.
Maybe it is a lack of money, or a calloused attitude. Or maybe, as I get older, I see death and autumn as a time of reflection and remembrance rather than fear and imagination. Halloween’s depiction of death plays up the grotesque, and now I see death as more of a sacred thing.
I would like to regain my liking of Halloween and all the fun and imagination it excites. But that all seems to me now much ado about nothing.
