"Happy Halloween, kids!"
(Lorne, "Life of the Party")

Dress in costume for the fun of it--even if you're alone in a dinky apartment--and get lots of cheap miniature candy packs the stores have on sale November 1st! Woo-hoo!

SPIKE: In my day, no self-respecting creature of the night went out on All Hallow's Eve. We left that to the posers, the blighters who had to dress up and try to be scary.

Rating Info

• Fiction Rating Key Here
• "NR" = "Not Rated"
• Authors' given ratings usually trusted, but "general audiences" and "K" or "K+" are increased to "FRT" because of original BtVS/AtS series' ratings. Occasional stronger ratings given when chance glance shows they're needed. "F-bomb" and/or gratuitous coarse language marked as FRMA-AL, no matter how used. Graphic depictions of human-on-human violence and/or abuse deferred to next day's editor for private life reasons. Thanks for understanding. :-)
