This story comes from 2008 in my own neighborhood. The teens one street beyond ours set up their front yard to look like a graveyard. Some were dressed in long coats and white face paint with heavy black eyes and strange mouths. There was a lot of brutality, going on, screaming, what appeared to be someone in a hole digging, people lying on the ground, with fake blood, some screaming and crawling toward the street. These kids taunted adults and children as they passed.

On my own street a group of teens dressed in black, some with the long coats (again). They wore expressionless white masks and walked extremely slow around their lawn, driveway and even into the streets as others trick or treated.

I was told that much of this was taken from a movie called Clockwork Orange, though I'm not familiar with it.

Sometimes you think you know the person you married so well. Then they tell you a story of their youth and you picture them in a different light!
On Halloween night we were at a party with a group of friends. My husband revealed that when he was a teenager, he and a group of friends stole an outhouse. They hoisted it on a truck and dropped it off at the town square! It made front page news the next day.
Folks in that small town looked at it as a "devilish deed". Yep, and I just happen to be married to one of the little devils!
