With two weeks left before All Halloweds Day, let's talk about Frankenstein & Friends for reminding us how to have fearful fun. Homemade spook alleys for $1 used to attract all the neighbor kids. Now for $20 real scary Haunted houses full of weirdos make their yearly living the six weeks their open annually. Kids line up for hours to have their wits scared out of them.
Harvey Brassfield was a tall lanky kid in 2nd grade we all called Frankenstein. Who hasn't found a person to give name for every ghost & goblin out there? My own sister with her buck teeth, black frizzy hair and crooked nose was called a witch more than once, on the school bus of life. It's devastating for the victim, but happens without fail. Our job is to see the good in everyone & turn a hurt feeling into a friend for life. Find ways to build them up & feel good.
When front teeth have fallen out, many a child pretends he's Dracula saying, 'I'm going to dweenk your blud'! A black cape, fang teeth & deep voice bring the beast out in all of us. Why not join in the fun from Witches Night Out at Gardiner Village to haunted houses to graveyard guided tours & so on. Mascarade parties really hit the spot with goofy games & food.
A bunch of friends & I slept in a graveyard one summer night in our teens to prove our bravery. We made it all night. I awoke the next morning with a swollen face from a bug bite. We joked about how it happened, but never stayed their again.
Do fun things with your family to make memories that will last forever. Start looking for your outfit now at the local DI, goodwill or $1 store. Lots of fun things can be found in your own closets.
Let your imagination run wild. Halloween will be here before you know it.
