HORROR MOVIES

Horror is a film genre seeking to elicit a negative emotional reaction from viewers by playing on the audience's primal fears. Horror films often feature scenes that startle the viewer; the macabre and the supernatural are frequent themes. Thus they may overlap with the fantasy, supernatural, and thriller genres. Horror movies often deal with the viewer's nightmares, hidden fears, revulsions and terror of the unknown. Plots within the horror genre often involve the intrusion of an evil force, event, or personage, commonly of supernatural origin, into the everyday world. Prevalent elements include ghosts, aliens, vampires, werewolves, demons, vicious animals, monsters, zombies, cannibals, and serial killers. Conversely, movies about the supernatural are not necessarily always horrific.

A Business Card

All experienced (or retired) trick-or-treaters know the difference between a good treat and bad one. But no McCarty has attempted to rate the Halloween booty. The closest any McCarty ever came to scaring up a Halloween candy rating system was when Mom McCarty separated the penny candy from the nickel candy.

Here is my attempt to fill this ratings gap, using a scale of four pumpkins (excellent, gotta-have candy) to one (aargh, wouldn’t give it to a ghoul). Also: three pumpkins (good) and two (so-so, wanna trade?).

Item Rank Comments
Bite-size Tootsie Rolls But the full-sizers merit a full 3.
Junior Mints Adults who give these are cool
Candy Corn Ghastly stuff, but kids wind up with a silo full every year
Potato chips Those little bags are mostly air. Only redeeming value: salt
Campaign or UNICEF literature ..

Only thing worse than candy corn.
Three Musketeers Don’t forget to say “thank you.”
Smarties A welcome sour taste to all that sugar-sugar
Apples These do have a use. Throw ’em at a bully who tries to steal your bag
Hershey’s Miniatures Tiny, but worth your while on the porch
Gum As long as you get a full pack. Eschew individual sticks

BURNING LEAVES

An October childhood memory growing up in Detroit was raking leaves,
playing in the leaves, then burning the leaves. The smell was great!
