With it's roots in pagan ritual, Oct. 31st would mark the end of summer, and the mysteries of longer, darker nights would begin. The coming months with it's withered leaves and chilling winds would be like a brush with death for these ancient Celts. And as now - with death comes fear...
Who doesn't fear threat to his life? Everyone knows, avoiding bodily harm is every one's most urgent instinct! But here's how humans warp even this emotion in the most bizarre and twisted ways...
We actually revel in fear! We create elaborate ghost stories, 3-D horror movies, rides of terror, corn fields of fright, and willingly pay others to scare the daylights out of us:
Even creepier is that some get their rush being spooked inside abandoned slaughterhouses. The place where real hell was the final stab to victims who would beg against that experience altogether! And of these folks who delight in macabre fantasy, they don't want to know the first bit in what true horror actually is!
That's right - These scream-seekers don't want a second of what poor Tommy witnessed while awaiting his turn at the butcher's knife. Most haven't the courage to even nod at the true face of fear.
So Boo! to those who lust after stolen life and flesh. Hide in the pitch shadows away from the reality you refuse to see... Savage, graphic, fierce killing happens all the time - By your hand!
But for those who might be brave enough to learn... Who are done cowering in the props of cultural lies and distortions - Keep your eyes open if you dare... And watch Earthlings.

Strange indeed are we uns. We're surrounded by monsters who feed on the flesh of innocent beings that died in terror and pain...but we need a holiday where we pretend to be frightened by fake ghouls and demons. Hmmmm....
Wow. The 'we must be the devil' video was extremely powerful. Had me in tears, will definitely be sharing it. Great post.

VE you amaze me! You managed to say in just a few sentences what I was struggled through paragraphs to express: We're surrounded by monsters who feed on the flesh of innocent beings that died in terror and pain...but we need a holiday where we pretend to be frightened by fake ghouls and demons.
Exactly!!! Thank you!!!
To make matters worse though - I heard Americans spent over 6 billion dollars on this spook-fest-holiday. Not in the Elliott household - Not a penny! First year ever... We turned out the lights and blocked the doors. Strangely though - I get the idea that such an act is seen as more unsocial than murdering the innocent for "treats"... :/
Glad you found Gary Yourofsky's video moving. His blunt honesty should convince anyone reasonable and truthful with themselves, to question what they think they know. He's a powerful motivator - No doubt about it!
Thanks for your voice too!
