I've never been big into the gory Halloween decor. As I walk through the streets of my town, I see "festive" hanging bodies, sawed-off limbs, and mock graveyards. It's not that they're super scary, they're just a little morbid for my taste. And there's enough stuff scaring me these days, without the help of fake blood.

Soon every front porch will have its own organic gargoyle sporting the only gap-toothed grins that don't need orthodonture.
