BOO!

I love Halloween.  I love pumpkin pancakes and candy corn.  And the season to consume them both is just around the corner.  I am also a fan of all the retro-inspired graphics that surround this time of the year – smiley pumpkins and figurines of little kids covered in white sheets as the cutest ghosts that ever existed.  However, I am fascinated by all the dark imagery that surrounds the season as well.
