Halloween in September

Halloween is the best holiday ever (take that, Arbor Day). Part of what makes it so awesome is that, for a period of time before the big day, everything goes goth. Wal-Mart moves the Hanna Montana DVDs to the back and stocks the shelves with Friday the 13th and Saw flicks (or something really scary, like The Hottie & the Nottie). Even your local dollar store gets into the spirit (pun?) by replacing their displays of beach gear with racks of skeletons and those prosthetic scar things that fall off your face after, like, five minutes tops. Unfortunately, in an effort to squeeze more and more profit from Halloween, stores are putting out their ghoulish goodies earlier and earlier each year. It's starting to get out of hand. I mean, if I can't walk down the street covered in fake blood without getting arrested it's too early for the grocery store to be selling severed heads.
