Halloween was confusing. All my life my parents said, "Never take candy from strangers." And then they dressed me up and said, "Go beg for it." I didn’t know what to do! I’d knock on people’s doors and go, "Trick or treat." "No thank you."
-Rita Rudner
There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
-George Carlin
On Halloween, the parents sent their kids out looking like me.

Well, it's October again, and that means Christmas! Oh, wait, no, sorry, I meant Halloween, though you wouldn't know it from the stores around here. The ones that had Christmas decorations up since mid-June.
Stop it. Seriously. Just stop.
Now, traditionally, Halloween is a celebration of death. Okay, well, no, not really a celebration. An acknowledgement. A time to laugh at the silly fear that, once dead, we might come back as a zombie or a Justin Bieber fan. As if there's a difference.
And, of course, since this is the Comedy newsletter, the key word above is "laugh."
With all the horror movies, haunted houses, home decorations, and store displays (you know, the ones sandwiched in between the Christmas displays), there's one common theme, besides the whole spiders, goblins, and zombie thing, and that's humor.
And really, what's the only appropriate reaction when faced with one's mortality like that? Laughter, of course. So you get the funny costumes, amusing decorations, and hilarious music. I know some people might want to keep the holiday pure; that is, purely scary, but I laugh at the thought.
This Halloween, commit yourself to being funny, or commit yourself. |
Just a few funny scary things from the depths of time:
