It was Halloween again. When I was an eight year old kid I lived in Lakewood, Washington with my little half-brother Torin and my big brother Erik. You see my father had died two months before I was born. I didn’t know him, but his name was Jordan. My mom was always off in Neverland. She always seemed preoccupied with something and she never had time for any of us. My big brother was only 11, but he had to take care of me and my little brother. He would go to the store to get groceries and he would feed us dinner. He was basically like a dad. My mom was usually drunk or happy. Most every night she would get drunk and then she would be a sick happy in the morning. It didn’t feel happy. It didn’t feel right. Something was off every morning.
Purpose: To inform the audience of how Halloween started and transformed to what it is now.
In Rob Zombie’s interpretation of John Carpenter’s 1978 Halloween, evil is manifested in a ten year old boy named Michael Myers. Zombie showcases for the first time on film, what the child went through that lead to the destruction of his innocents. The Halloween movie series is one of the most well-known horror movies of all time and one of my favorite slasher-flim. Michael Myers is who everyone fears the most, because no matter what you do to him, he would ever die. He never hid the hate and the evil that was inside him, he just embraced it. Somehow and someone has created this boogeyman that everyone fears, but the story was never told. It wasn’t until Zombie started filming Halloween that this could be answered. Sociologically concepts
Every year millions of kids get dressed up, knock on doors, and beg for candy. With Halloween just around the corner, you all are probably wondering where this strange tradition came from. Every year I have experienced this holiday and have done research on this topic. According to a 2014 Smithsonian.com article, stated by Natasha Geiling, in just one year Americans spent over six billion dollars on candy, costumes, and ghoulish decor in anticipation for Halloween. Many people think all Halloween is about dressing up and going trick or treating but there's more to it than that. The roots and variations from all around are what makes Halloween what it is today. In order to understand this holiday, we will go into the history of Halloween, how it's celebrated around the world, and superstitions revolving it.
Without a father in the household, my mother had to wear several different hats at one time. By that, I mean she had to play several different parts as a parent. She was and still is an authoritative parent. My mother was the one to tell us no, to correct us when we were wrong, kiss the boo-boos, teach us respect for ourselves and the ones around us, talk to us when we were upset, the one to hurt our feelings, taught us how to braid, and so much more. It got easier as we
When Andy Gresham’s son Dylan is abducted from his bed on Halloween night, he realizes that history has caught up with him. Memories he’d buried long ago begin to surface, and he is forced to share with his wife the story of Halloween night in 1991.
Waylon and his older brother Jesse were spending another Halloween pounding the pavement. It was getting dark and cold. Mom and dad sat in the minivan across the street as the kids knocked on doors and did their best to scare the residents of Tucson. Waylon was dressed as SpongeBob, while his big brother had dressed up as a pirate. Of course Jesse was the best he told everyone so.
Halloween is just around the corner and many kids are excited. Humans across the United States are preparing for the holiday by buying many things. People are buying costumes for trick or treating, lawn ornaments to put in their yard, and candies such as skittles and m&ms to hand out to kids. Some of the most popular lawn ornaments this year are tombstones, skeletons, and like almost every other year your classic Jack O'Lantern. There are also many new costume ideas this year including super hero and pokemon outfits. Except with the new clown sightings, many parents are worried for their children's safety, causing them to limit their children’s time out on the streets. Also some are choosing not to let their kids go at all.
Have you ever climbed the tallest and most fascinating mountain in the world or wrote about a fat boy eating candy on halloween (the fat boy was me) well I have.
As I was going down the street I heard steps just behind me gradually getting closer, as the sound of heels resonated with the concrete sending shivers down my spine. It was an unusual occurrence in the area I was currently in, people lingering after dark, especially on this specific night: Halloween. All I could sense was this eerie feeling as if my own body was sending quiet, almost whispered signals telling me to quicken my pace. My hands began to sweat as my breathing got increasingly louder as the set of footsteps followed my actions. I was certain now, this person was following me for a reason still unknown to my shaking figure trying to compose itself for a possible physical fight. It was the worst scenario I could think of: having
“So kids, every Halloween, it is said that her ghost, roams the empty hallways of this very school, searching for another female student to take her place.” The students were now on the edge of their wooden seats, eyes wide, listening to every word Mr. Morris said. All of a sudden the loud bell breaks the silence, making each one of them jump.
When Timothy had reached the end of the tunnel and felt himself engulfed in the brilliant light; it was so bright it blinded him. He blinked rapidly trying to regain his sight, and after a moment things began to come back into focus. He then noticed that he could see trees and shrubs, and the blueness of the sky above him. He could feel the warmth of the sunshine on his back, and the coolness of the breeze in the air. He could feel the mud on his arms and legs and feel the water all around him. I'm in the tarn, he thought. Its daylight and I'm still on the edge of the tarn. I must have hit my head when I tripped and fell down and I’ve been here all night. It was all a bad dream, the court, the frog judge, the squirrel I killed having come
As I was walking back from school with my friends, Will and Alex, we were talking about what we were going to do tonight for Halloween. The teachers seem to be really concerned about us, telling us not to go by ourselves but rather go in big groups or with our parents for trick or treating, like were 13, we can handle ourselves. Mr. Robert our history teacher was telling all the kids that he hates Halloween because it symbolizes the devil and demons. He was yelling at another student, I forgot her name but she was saying that she was going to dress up as the devil and try to summon other demons he was not having it, he kicked her out immediately. As she was leaving she said something weird speaking gibberish something like “Ligandum eos

Halloween, a holiday many of us know and love. A day when we celebrate together with our friends, family, neighbors and community. We go from door to door collecting candy, sweets and much more, racing on who can approach the most houses or who can collect the most candy in the group. It is all fun and games when trick or treating, and it has evolved into so much more than from the past. As years pass by, we celebrate this holiday annually, but of everything we’ve taken in from being children through our teen and adult years, do we truly know the background of Halloween Day?
