Despite my inability to see past the ridiculous lack of
creativity in slutting yourself out of a real costume (talking to you, girl I
thought was dressed as a prostitute who wandered into a costume store and stole
a pair of cat ears) and my terrified-at-anything-slightly-scary, low tolerance for horror, I love Halloween.
I think “Hocus Pocus” is mainly responsible for this.
There’s nothing more festive than Bette Midler dressed as a witch singing “I
Put A Spell On You.” It’s creepy and fun and cheesy and 90s and awesome. Every
year I look forward to watching it (and tricking myself into thinking I
can make it through a real horror movie—this time I made it 30 minutes into “Pumpkinhead”
before the soundtrack turned menacing and I chickened out), creating DIY costumes that
no one in my family will understand, and of course, posting a mixtape for you
guys.
