Happy Hallowe'en everybody!

Now, mundane, I know you've planned some positively frightful things for today. You're even going out to a spooky party to meet up with other revelers of the holiday. Oh! Such fun you'll have! Remember to always say trick or treat, and mind you keep away from that no-good Oogie Boogie!

Happy Halloween, Jack!

[cantakeoffmyhead]

Ah Miss Alice! Frightful greetings to you!

[madcuriosity]

And to you, Jack! What do you have planned for this Halloween?

[cantakeoffmyhead]

Oh, we'll have a full day of ghoulish tricks and treats in Halloweentown. Perhaps you could come and experience it! I rather like our ninja dinosaurs.

[madcuriosity]

Ninja dinosaurs? [She wasn't sure what she was expecting but the words "ninja dinosaurs" were not one of them.]

[cthulhu_ficcer]

I suppose that I have a bias, since I think of Halloween as a dread time of sheer terror, when the veil between the worlds, it is said, wears thin and anything can slip across the better to cause chaos and strike fear into the hearts of mortal man. But... there is a certain delight and pleasure in that fear, if one can hold the fear well reined in.

[cantakeoffmyhead]

Ah yes, such a thin veil, and it is such fun to strike terror into the hearts of humans. [Good times for Jack, good times]

[trickonometry]

And the skeleton beats everyone to the punch. Fitting.

Happy Halloween, skele-dude.

[cantakeoffmyhead]

Well, I am the Pumpkin King! Happy Hallowe'en to you! Have a terrifying day.

[trickonometry]

Oh, I'm sure I will.

[said with all the dry humor of someone who's usually in deep shit, and yet is half excited by it. he aims a finger pistol at Jack]

Terrify all the little kiddies for me.

[cantakeoffmyhead]

Of course! [He gives a genuine smile] Remember to treat your trick or treaters well, or they will give you a good trick.

[trickonometry]

I'd be disappointed in kids today if they didn't. Don't worry, I've got an emergency junk food stash on me at all times. Mostly chocolate bars. So if little trick-or-treaters mug me in the street, I'll be ready.

[cantakeoffmyhead]

[Jack approves]

[abnormalsoon]

I don't see why you have to give bugman such a hard time! Sure, the guy took part in some casual attempted murder but who doesn't? He seemed like my kind of guy.

[cantakeoffmyhead]

[Jack does not look impressed] He treated my friends so dishonourably.

[am_i_alive]

Who would want to be tricked?

[cantakeoffmyhead]

Why, many people! Those who like getting a good scare, those who like putting their cunning to the test... the list goes on.

[lurkerwolf]

Never understood why humans are so fascinated with fright and Halloween.

[cantakeoffmyhead]

It gets the blood pumping, and gives one that sense of being so alive. Of course, you'll get that each moon, Mr. Werewolf. [You can't hide that from the Pumpkin King]

[lurkerwolf]

I wouldn't say it's the same. Humans gets an adrenaline rush while I get the desire to kill, to hunt my prey. It's the difference between being prey and predator.

[romantic_rags]

I hope they have the scariest time of their life.

[cantakeoffmyhead]

What a lovely thing to hope for them, Sally. Scares are such wonderful things, after all.

[romantic_rags]

[Aw shucks ♥ ]

I think every year, more and more people are understanding that fear and fun can be the same thing.

[cantakeoffmyhead]

It's such a delightful thing! Embracing the fright of the holiday.

[romantic_rags]

I just wish it could last a little longer.

[cantakeoffmyhead]

I'm sure there are those who keep Halloween in their heart all year long.

[justshyofvictory]

EUAH-EAUH-HAHAH!

But tonights the night being no good... is the best!

[cantakeoffmyhead]

Not Oogie Boogie's type of no good.

[justshyofvictory]

There's just the one type...And a lot of imitators to the crown.

[silver_spoon]

[The Ginosaji sneers an evil sneer and raises its spoon in celebratory fashion.]

[deadestragdoll]

It should be the most horrible yet Jack!
