These days your garden can be smothered with loo paper and your bouse with eggs, a far cry from the eve of by-gone days, "Ail Saints Day" when the living dead were joined by a hellish brew of witches., warlicks, and devils, and honest folks went on protecting themselves from evil by leaving food just outside their baired, and twice bolted doors. Now all, we face are the Halloween night paiade of infant beggars demanding blackmail at our every door. The worst hing that can happen these days is to forget to pick up your supply of the blackmail goodies. Then you wil l be forced to> put out all the lights, and lay silent, a prisoner in your own home, pretending that you are really out for the night, hoping to escape the wrath of an vengeful ghoul.
