By a strange paradox,
because the Jehovah’s Witnesses did not ‘believe’ in celebrating Halloween, but
did believe in its diabolical origin and dangers, it actually made the ‘horrors’
of Halloween more terrifying for us when we were small. This
made ghosts and witches (harmless imaginary spooks to others) terrifying
dangers in our childhood. But we still relished the thrill and chills of the
creepy as we tested our own bravery and teased each other’s cowardice. Even the
antics of Popeye and Bluto could produce a twinge of terror as they provided holiday
mood, and the comedy of The Spirit is Willing and The Ghost and Mr Chicken with its cleaver throwing ghosts and bloody hauntings dished up some strangely authentic frights. Maybe it was seeing Don Knotts' reactions.
