Lauren's Halloween Blog.

Halloween Blog

 It was 2008 on Halloween night when I, Lauren McAlinden discovered the best Halloween candy in the world, the Kit Kat. The one and only Kit Kat is by far the best candy there is, Kit Kat bars are crisp vanilla flavored wafers, covered with smooth milk chocolate. Every time I take a bite into one of these I immediately fall in love. The Kit Kat is by far the best candy there is because I mean what other candy can compare to this crisp, sweet, wonderful work of art. At least Kit Kat's are an original, while Milky Ways and Snickers only had to add one different ingredient to the other original candy, the 3 Musketeers. For example Milky Way's only had to add Carmel to the 3 Musketeers Bar and Snickers only had to add peanuts to the Milky Way bar. In conclusion Kit Kat's are the best chocolate candy.

       Even though I love Halloween candy, scary movies flat out scare me. Watching Psycho in the school auditorium last Thursday night was completely terrifying. However after the movie I realized that there was no way that movie could have been a true story. Discussing the movie helped me understand how Psycho was made and how all the special effects were incorporated into the film. Learning that the symbolism that Alfred Hitchcock used was on purpose and not by accident proved that Alfred Hitchcock was a very clever man, his camera angles showed many similarities symbolizing many key factors in the movie; such as when he used the shape of a circle in many different scenes, such as her eye when she is lying dead in the shower and the shower drain. Knowing Halloween was only a few days away also caused much excitement and fear in the air during the movie, like having the feeling when you know someone might sneak up behind you.

            Halloween is not complete without Trick or Treating. This year on Halloween I was a nerd; I wore glasses with duck tape and a button up white shirt with pens in the shirt pocket. I would have to say dressing up for Halloween is a close runner up to the candy that we get to eat. Running from door to door yelling trick or treat anxiously waiting to see what type of candy is being passed out is extremely fun, especially when you get to spend such a great Holiday with your family.
