I spent Halloween at my friends Paul and Donald's place (I have no idea what to do with that punctuation), and every year they go all out with the creep decorations to scare the local trick and treaters. This year, one friend was hanging out in an animal hat he lent me for a while, while the boys blared scary music (usually Thriller) out the front window, and their front yard was tombstones and fog (I love the one tombstone, "I told you I was sick.") Oh and that's their dog, Deputy, dressed as a hot dog.
The guy across the street was hiding on the stairs to his English basement, and when kids would knock on his door, he wouldn't answer, they'd think no one was home, so they'd start down the steps and he'd jump at them from below. Too much fun. But clearly one of the funniest Halloween stories I've ever read is Dan Savage's from two years ago. It can't even summarize it. Just go and read it, and laugh.
