When I was a child, my favorite candies were these chocolate monster lollipops. I don't know if they make them anymore. The front was white chocolate, onto which was embossed, in brown chocolate, a picture of the Shock Monster, seen above. I think there was one of the Girl Vampire, but my favorite was always the Shock Monster. How I would love one of his lollipops!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alas, Halloween is no holiday for diabetics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But there is still fun to be had. Curling up with a horror classic is one way.
And viewing a film classic is another. But which one?
I had toyed with the idea of "Earth Vs. The Spider," an AIP classic from 1958. Just love when the museum ensconced spider digs the crazy rock beat!!!!!!!!!!! Here it is, for you to see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's your choice, darlings! But I am going with John Carpenter's 1978 classic, "Halloween." Fun, traditional, with that haunting music score and brilliant mixture of horror and humor! Not to mention Jamie Lee Curtis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatever my ghosties and ghoulies do, I wish you all the happiest, safest and most enjoyable of Halloweens. Liven up these dreary times!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trick or treat? I'll take whatever I can get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fun to think about candy from the Old Days!

Are Mary Janes still around?
