MEANWHILE..

Trunk or treat is here to stay (no matter how much you may hate it) *

Great article that debunks all of those fears over trick or treating.. razor blades in apples.. tainted candy..

But regardless, cultural shifts and endless fears of fakery and trickery have caused us to be comfortable accepting candy from decorated car trunks in parking lots across America..

Lest we forget: Malls were the ‘place’ to trick or treat for years..

Until malls shuddered across America. Shifts occur.. maybe one day soon we will just accept ‘virtual’ candy on social media for Samhain…

The Atlantic laments: Halloween has changed..
