Halloween in Gate Helmsley (no Micheal Myers)

Halloween in Gate Helmsley is great as most of the kids in the village are herded into two groups and go round the village each starting at different ends.

This means that you only have the one call at your door during the night, granted that might mean 20 or more kids, but at least you don`t have to keep getting up when your favourite T.V programme is on.

A lot of people make an effort with their Halloween decorations and most of the kids and some of the adults dress up appropriately.

The UK seems to be now making an effort to celebrate Allhallows Eve these days (I cant remember any effort at all been made when I was a child) and I for one think this is excellent.

We should make a serious effort on Halloween, kids love scary stories and dressing up as monsters, witches and ghosts and I think a lot of adults do too.

I tried to find a decent (but tame) horror movie on telly for my 9yr old son but the best I could come up with was The Creature From The Black Lagoon, He isn't really that keen on black and white horror/Sci Fi as he seems to think they don't have proper endings, hes citing Invasion of the Bodysnatchers and The Incredible Shrinking Man as references
