What better time to explore the transformative powers of costume and mask. Not some goofy rubber Frankenstein mask. Something more sophisticated...elegant... Emerge from the shadows of the nighttime city...seductive and dangerous.

yeah, how original. but pure dreck really. and, whats this got to do with Halloween ? absolutely nothing.
for most, missing the entire concept of Halloween, its just another costume party. too bad !
When people think of Halloween, they think of green-faced witches riding brooms with pointy hats, black cats, pumpkins and ghouls.
What most people do not realize is there is actually a "true meaning" of Halloween.
Halloween is an ancient holiday referred to as Samhain (pronounced sow-win).
In reality, Samhain was celebrated by ancient western Europeans long before Jesus was born.
It marks the third and final harvest of the season, when most of the plant life dies until spring.
In ancient times, people were at the mercy of the seasons. In western Europe, most people were farmers, and felt a deep connection to the earth and the seasons.
Samhain, with its association with the passing of plant life until spring, is also a time to remember the dead. Just as the plants will die in the next few weeks, ancient peoples acknowledged the fact that people die as well.
Death is definitely a shapeshift. The post does have to do with Halloween and definitely not "pure dreck".
