October was literally the best time of life for me as a kid. Carving jack o lanterns to bond with my dad, going on my town's haunted hayride and being a little less scared of the haunted house every year, scaring each other in front of bonfires, watching your favorite cartoons' spooky special, dressing up and feeling cool and adventurous with your friends while you get a ton of free candy, etc. etc.

Now it's more a time to watch horror movies, look at the decorations everywhere, and dress up and feel cool with your friends while you get a bunch of free alcohol. Top tier holiday, you just gotta understand the vibes and nostalgia and sense of community. Also rewatching Over the Garden Wall this week
