So last weekend was Halloween, the celebration of Summer's end. Several young visitors dressed in strange costumes visited our home in Huntsville threatening a trick if we didn't have a treat for them. Of course, we obliged with a treat. The only problem, there was way too much candy left over. Well, someone had to eat it. Right?

Now in other parts of the country, even stranger characters could be found roaming the streets. For example, in Mesa, Arizona, you just might have come across a seemingly uninterested goth teenager named Savannah. If you offered her no treats, she planned to just stand around staring to your front door. But a zombie football player named Ian was also on the prowl in Mesa. I don't even want to hazzard a guess what might have happened to you had you not offered a treat to this guy.

Meanwhile, in Birmingham, Alabama, Spiderman Jackson was prepared to scale the walls of your house in search of an open window. From there he could cast a web to capture his treat. John Michael, better known as Captain Hook on this day, didn't need to say "Trick or Treat". He said, "Arrrg" and hooked your treats into his pirate sack.

Bumblebee Margaret only had to smile to get all the treats she wanted. In fact, I bet she turned over all her treats to Mom and Dad.
