HALLOWE'ENERS AND HELLO, WIENERS: HALLOWE'EN AND THE UNITED STATES MIDTERM ELECTION

 

HALLOWE’EN. Originating from a mix of Celtic and Middle Ages traditions, Hallowe’en used to be called, All Hallows' Eve (“Hallow” meaning “holy”), but nowadays has become a custom of scary movies, ugly costumes, and clowns! Our current Hallowe’en has evolved to become the one day of the year when kids (and even adults) from all socio-political backgrounds dress up in costume and trick-or-treat or party in their neighborhoods, neighborhoods that are rife with ghouls and ghosts, witches and warlocks, bats and black cats, spiders and skeletons, zombies and werewolves, cauldrons and jack-o-lanterns and CANDY!

And for this creepy and comical day of the quick and the dead, dear reader, I am presenting this very short blog entry, complete with my typical snappy title and filled with my customarily driest of wit and humor, solely designed to make just one last point before the United States midterm election!

Here are some traditional Hallowe’eners, some monsters and clowns as represented in movies and costume, who are purportedly spooky, and yet still offer us sidesplitting laughs for this one day.

HALLOWE’ENERS!

FRANKENSTEIN

DRACULA

FREDDY

SCARY MOVIE

THE INVISIBLE MAN

IT

Not-so-strangely, I am now going to present some present-day real-life characters whom I abhor and who do NOT dress up in costume. These are just some eerie wieners and suppurate clowns who have managed to trick-or-treat us, and entertain or frighten us, practically all year long!

HELLO, WIENERS!

And last dear readers, is the UGLIEST and the SCARIEST of them all, yet THE ONE MOST LAUGHED AT EVERY DAY!

DO I HAVE A PERFERVID IMAGINATION?! 

OR WHAT?!

(HAVE A HAPPY HALLOWE’EN, folks, just four days to the MIDTERMS!)

VOTE BLUE!
