It's finally fall. October rolls around, and everyone is suddenly scrambling to prepare for Halloween.

But you've been ready since July, like, "Let's do this."

Pumpkins? Check.

Decor? Check.

Costume? Check.

Even your pets are ready to go. They know what day it is.

Soon everyone around you will begin to realize that no one is safe from your spooky pranks, because Halloween is meant for tons of good natured mischief, is it not?

But there's always that soul crushing moment when someone you thought cared about you says they don't like Halloween, and truly, you're outraged.

But you don't need people like that in your life.

They just don't understand that Halloween gives you actual life. It's what gives you the power to make it through the other 364 boring days of the year.

Everything about Halloween is inherently good. The treats for kids ...

And adults alike.

Not to mention, the Halloween specials and movies are a must.

And don't forget the literature.

Even spooky Halloween music can get the most infamous serial killers to loosen up and get on their feet like:

All of these things are what make up the general, spooky atmosphere of Halloween.

And while most people think it's just all fun and games, you know that October 30, is a day of great mental and emotional preparation. This is what you've been training for.

You still can't help but feel the excitement creeping around you. You're just trying to keep it together like:

But then it happens. The day you've been waiting for arrives - October 31. And every fiber of your being is screaming, "THIS IS NOT A DRILL, PEOPLE!"

Halloween is really the one day of the year you truly feel like yourself, you know?

But before you know it, it's all over. And it's time to put away the costumes, hide the stash of leftover treats, and take down all of the decorations.

But let's be honest, even when it's "over," it's never really over.

Because now you have another 364 days to prepare for the next Halloween, and the excitement starts all over again.
