Don’t let October pass the family by without taking advantage of the many ways to scare the crap out of each other. While jumping out of closets and dark spaces wearing a hockey mask can be funny it can also lead to deep emotional scars and difficulty learning to trust loved one later in life. A good substitute is to pack the family up and get in line for one (or several) of the haunted house/haunted woods events occurring in your community. Nothing brings a family closer together than the abject terror that comes from being chased by a maniac with a chainsaw. Happy Halloween!
