Random Halloween Thoughts

Just did my usual thing of doing a quick scan through everything coming up on the tube (or panel, or monitor) related to All Hallow's Eve. Here we go:

The Travel Channel has the most. Shows like Halloween Crazier where we see everything from whacked-out haunted houses to pumpkin races, to a race for zombies. Okay, sure, why not? Then, there's Halloween's Most Extreme, which is more of the same as the first show. And, finally, World's Creepiest Destinations, about, guess what? Creepy destinations.

Got one question. How and when did Halloween shift from being a fun-filled night for kids to a full-tilt bozo decorating event for adults? Just curious.

Anyway, we also have on one of the local channels, a Halloween version of America's Funniest Whatevers to Funniest Halloween Moments. And, on the Food Channel, there's Halloween Wars. All the description says is, "The theme is vampires". Now, what can that be?

And, are you ready? Got the Christmas season coming up, too. Yep, already there's Christmas-themed movies and shows just getting warmed up to pop on your TV's.

'til next time... Adios.
