Walking Sierra Madre…The Social Side 

by Deanne Davis


“The worst thing about Halloween is, of course, 
candy corn. Candy corn is the only candy in the 
history of America that’s never been advertised. 
And there’s a reason. All of the candy corn that 
was ever made was made in 1911. And, since 
nobody actually eats that stuff, every year there’s 
a ton of it left over.”

Lewis Black

 

All Hallows Eve at last is here,

A deadly.... dreadly night.....

When ghouls and ghosts and creepies,

And other awful blights,

Are free to roam and wander,

Anywhere they might.

And generate, originate 

Frightful things all night.

 

Creating scary terror everywhere they can,

And scream inducing, faint-producing, 

hair-raising, bone-melting, 

Quivery, shivery.... 

Ack! What’s right there behind me... fright!

 

They creep out of their crypts and graves,

These creatures of the night.

They haunt the roads and byways,

Run rampant through the park.

They hide between the bushes,

And everywhere it’s dark.

 

All Hallows Eve at last is here,

A deadly.... dreadly night.....

When ghouls and ghosts and creepies,

And other awful blights,

Are free to roam and wander,

Anywhere they might.

 

Up and down the streets of town,

They race in search of plunder,

These ghouls and ghosts and monsters,

About three feet tall or under! 

They shriek for treats and threaten tricks,

But are satisfied with candy.

These creatures rule the darkness,

As long as Mom and Dad are handy.

 

All Hallows Eve at last is here,

A deadly.....dreadly night....

When ghouls and ghosts and monsters,

And other awful sights,

Go dancing through the shadows,

Into circles of street lights. 

 

Little Screams and Donald Trumps,

Harry Potters by the score,

Princesses and pirates, Ninja turtles, too,

Trick or Treat, trick or treat, give me something 
good to eat!

Or I’ll play a trick on you!

The scarecrows were the best ever this year. 
Pictured is the winner of the Literary Award, 
“The Natural.” Hunt these down all around 
town, they’re incredibly creative! Hope you took 
time to look at all the art on our downtown 
windows. Plan to visit the Time Machine, Roddy 
Robot, and enjoy half an hour sometime between 
6:30 and 9:30 at the Sierra Madre Playhouse 
seeing “The Return of the Tingler,” put on by 
those wild and crazy folks of the Symbiotic 
Society, featuring creepy audience interaction! 
Halloween night only and it’s FREE! Check out 
the costume contest and parade and downtown 
Trick or Treating! Lots to do right here in town.

 May all your candy be calorie free and may 
you only get Snickers, Milky Ways and boxes of 
Dots! Happy Halloween!
