About Costumes
Halloween night turns the whole neighborhood into a moving parade of invention, a sheet-white ghost drifting past the porch light, a tiny pirate rattling a plastic sword, a witch's pointed silhouette against a harvest moon. The right costume carries its own magic: slip on the cloak, pull down the mask, and for one night you are entirely someone else. It's a tradition as old as the holiday itself, rooted in the idea that on this particular night, the line between worlds, and identities, grows beautifully thin.
