Or, Halloween costumes for the somewhat less creatively challenged: A nostalgic board game from childhood; partly cloudy with a chance of showers (glue cotton balls to your shirt and carry around a spray bottle of water); or dress up as yourself 20 years ago. But, as adults, should we really get in on all this autumnal trickery, or just hand the whole damn holiday over to a bunch of ungrateful kids who wail about not getting enough candy and then complain of stomachaches later on anyway? To be in costume or not to be costume, that is the question (on October 31st). So what’s your answer? This Halloween, it’s either time for us to grow up – or dress up as a Shakespeare character.

If you’re a parent and looking for some tips on how to handle Halloween this year in your house, look no further than this great article written by our own Dr. Hartwell-Walker two years ago: Fast forward a decade or three and it’s not always so innocent or so much fun. Friends tell me of mobs of teens out terrorizing each other, shaking down the little kids, and demanding candy at the doors of those whose lights are on. Others tell me of carloads of kids being dropped off in their neighborhoods by parents who either think their own blocks are too dangerous ...

One Place for Special Needs likes to post lots of videos among its resources.  If, unlike our family, you’re lucky enough not to own your own DVD or video of “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” yo...

A night starry with a number of significant points: unlimited candy, free candy, dressing up, roaming around, staying up late. Some kids spend most of the year anticipating Photo/Jill Cornfield Halloween, but mine don’t. Ned occasionally pipes up with a costume idea in July or wonders in September if it’s almost here, but he doesn’t stay on message for too long. And Alex, of course, ignores the whole thing until it’s time to dress up. It’s a good thing we make our own costumes in this family, because I don’t think Alex (a boy who refuses to wear any trousers but khakis these days, who for about three years would wear any t-shirt as long as ...

But what’s the mental attraction? You may be surprised to see several ways that trickery weaves its intrigue through dendrite brain cells …  so that we dash back for more. From creatively carved pumpkins ... to ghost stories ... to creepy costumes for workplace haunts ... to organ-eating vampires,  the brain rewires to believe in and validate what we do. How does it work? About mid-October … people turn to Halloween's ancient origins, pumpkin pies and superstitions …  in ways that coax witches, bats and vampires into realms of mental possibilities.
