Let me get it out of the way by saying that I dig the jump-scare just as much as anyone else. And the staged haunted houses do serve their purpose. However, sometimes Halloween is about the ambiance, the feel, the memory -- like going to see Wicked at the local auditorium and dressing up like your favorite witch or warlock. Costume parties.

Sometimes it can just be about being surrounded by the themes we love so much. Stay in a themed hotel or something. Thrill at the fact that you can dress up for dinner, or breakfast, or lunch, or just the entire week. Live it up. Celebrate. And let's have the holiday be more than just candy, TP and jump-scares!
