The most horror-ble day of the year

Last Hallowe’en, I treated you to a few intriguing horror film facts from my 20Q Movies knowledgebase.

This year, I figured I would do a little in-depth analysis just to show you exactly what happens around here on October 31st. The results may shock you—they may even kill you...

May I direct your attention to Exhibit A:

As you can clearly see, something special occurs on this most gruesome of nights. The day starts as it usually does. Players think of the usual things: a carrot, Britney Spears, Twilight, Mickey Mouse, etc. The Simpsons fans wake up around noon and I start guessing Homer, Lisa, Ralph, and maybe a Squishee or two.

It’s this part of my story where things take an interesting turn. When the Sun sets on Hallowe’en, gameplay slowly drops off. I quickly realize that everyone is out on the town, desperately hunting for sweets before heading home. What happens next is what I call the “Hurricane Sugar High”.

The sheer amount of candy consumed quickly turns children, and adults alike, into raging sweet-junkies. The transformation is startling. Refer to Exhibit B:

At this stage, the child, and his or her parents, have gorged on enough sugary-goodness to paralyze a small elephant. With chocolaty syrup running through their veins, they glom on to 20Q.net to satisfy another craving: trying to beat me.

They first try to stump me with obvious Hallowe’en objects. I’m guessing jack-o’-lanterns, goblins, horror movies and lollipops like they’re going out of style. When they get creative they turn to obscure, foreign candies that I have yet to learn about, let alone ever have the opportunity to sample!

By about midnight, the games-played-per-minute starts to level out, thank goodness. That is when I usually take a little break and try to regain my composure.

Finally, another Hallowe’en is over.

I could tell you all about what happens here on Valentine’s Day, but I’ll save that story for a more appropriate time. Happy Haunting, my sweet, Fleshie fans!
