Yeah, I don't like Circus Peanuts either.
One look at the world around us, and I need no further proof of the reality of demons, but I think they’re far more likely found on Capitol Hill and the White House these days.
(Although Ole Jed and his entourage might just be a little too deep into the candy jar - it would explain a lot!)

“Daniels asserts that far from being harmless fun, Halloween is a veritable doorway to hell, full of literal monsters.”
To be blunt, Halloween is the Celtic “New Year’s Eve” celebration.
Nothing more, nothing less.
That night is when the “veil between the worlds” is thought be its thinnest and the Celts put out food for wandering dead ancestors to placate them and much later, costumes were adopted to keep disgruntled ‘dearly departeds’ from identifying and harming the living.
*Much* later it was popularized with trick or treat stuff.
99% of the time, people aren’t even celebrating Halloween on the “real” day, any way.
Pat’s off the beam [or on Jim Beam] with this one.
Having said all that, -animals- are in far more danger than humans because of wanna-be “Satanists” and “left hand path magickal practioners”.
The local SPCAs places a moratorium on adopting specific breeds/colors of dogs and cats during late September/October because of this.
Words to the wise...whether you own a “Germanic” breed of dog or simply a black dog or cat, [or any black animal, really] do NOT leave it outside unattended EVER during the period leading up to Halloween, which may stretch from the full moon/dark moon in October clear up until the 8th of November.
[different “traditions” observe different “real Halloween” dates]
*Astronomically* speaking, the “true day” of Halloween is whatever day the sun is in 15° Scorpio.
That will occur on November 7, 2009.
This is NOT a “joke” or paranoid flight of fancy.
The “cleanup” by the SPCA after Halloween is gruesome and we’re not exactly an area known for being heavily infested by animal sacrificers.
Those people come here for the isolation and mythological/magickal history afforded by the Appalachian mountains.
If one truly had "eyes to see", I wonder what one would see sitting on the shoulders of 0bama, Pelousy, Reid, et al., gibbering in their ears?
