Maybe you should do something about it then, KayLo!. Halloween was traditionally about warding away the spirits of the deceased by wearing masks that would frighten them away, right? How about giving yourself a thrill and inviting said spirits to the party?
Maybe run with the Ouija board shtick, or something. Hell, you could even get a buncha friends together and play that Midnight Man game.
[collapse=Midnight Man Game Rules]THE MIDNIGHT GAME RULES
1. It must be exactly 12:00 AM when you begin the ritual, or else it will not work. You will need;
Candles
Paper and Pencils
A wooden front door
Salt
A pin needle
All the lights in the house off
Step 1: Everyone who is playing the midnight game must write their names on a piece of paper, then use a pin needle to drop a single drop of their blood onto the paper
Step 2: Place the paper in front of your front door. Your front door must be made of wood.
Step 3: Light a candle
Step 4: Knock on your front door exactly 22 times. (Note: The 22nd knock must happen at 12:00 AM or the ritual will not work.)
Step 5: Open your door, blow out the candle, and close it. You have now summoned the "Midnight Man". Immediately relight your candle
Step 6: Your goal for the rest of the game is to survive the Midnight Man. Everyone who plays must walk with their candle lit around the house, avoiding the Midnight Man at all costs until the clock strikes 3:33 AM. At which time the Midnight Man will leave. If your candle blows out on its own, it means the midnight man is near, and you have 10 seconds to relight your candle. if you fail to relight the candle in 10 seconds you must surround yourself with a circle of salt and wait until 3:33 AM. If you fail to surround yourself with salt in time the Midnight Man will attack and you will have hallucinations of your worst fears until 3:33 AM.
Signs that the Midnight Man is nearby:
* Your candle blows out
* You suddenly get very cold
