Happy October 1st! Ah, itās the season of…
Scaring kids? Yes! Becausethatās fun!
But thatās not what Iām talking about today. Today, weāre diving into one of the craziest Halloweenās to go down in history, where Iāll be talking about how Halloween will be effected by COVID-19… MUAHAHA!
(Donāt worry, I wonāt punctuate every third paragraph any more… muahaha! Sorry, couldnāt resist.)
Halloween Talk no. 1: Costumes
So, I canāt speak super easily about Trick or Treating, seeing as Iāve only done that once, and I only went to one or two houses. But, I travel the world, so I consider it an equal trade-off! Kind of!
One way that it will be strange, what with COVID-19, is the masks. Yes, the masks. Do we need to wear a mask over our scary Halloween masks?Strange. Or is the Halloween mask enough?
And speaking of masks. Specifically, masks… while youāre wearing makeup.
Now, I might not have gone trick or treating very much, but Iāve been dressing up since I was 1 years old (my parents dressed me up as a burrito. Donāt ask)!

And I think itās safe to say, in quite a few of these costumes, Iāve worn makeupāthere was the time I dressed as a dog, and my mom used eyeliner to make whiskers (it was adorable).
But now… thereās no need? And if you still want to be in the full-out-Halloween-Spooky-Spirit, then just… try not to get any makeup on the inside of your mask… word of advice:

Halloween Talk no. 2: Trick or Treat!
Trick or Treating will probably take a crazy twist for you.
Like I mentioned before, I havenāt gone Trick or Treating very much… which is why itās hard to talk about it, but āhere goes.
If youāre like me, youāll ring the doorbell by nudging it with your elbow, to avoid touching it. Doorbells hardly ever get cleaned!
Next, you scamper back six feet. Social distancing! The person answers, holding a bucket of candy.
Oh, did I mention youāre alone? You and five friends probably are not cramming onto the porch all at once. So, you smile at the person, but she doesnāt see it, because of your mask.
You say, ātrick or treat!ā but you are muffled by your mask. The person says, ācould you repeat that?ā
You shout, ātrick or treat!ā Only then, do you get your candy.
Yikes. But itās not over…
When you get home, your mom sprays every single piece of candy with Lysol. You eat it later, and it tastes not only delicious, but slightly chemically.
Halloween Talk no. 3: Bobbing for Apples
Is the Halloween Carnival your favorite thing of the whole year?
Then Iām sorry to say, I doubt there will be one! Donāt worry, Iām sure there will be next year.
One thing that is iconic for Halloween is bobbing for apples! Yet another thing Iāve never done. But Iāll try to talk about it anyway.
You are so excited, but when you get to the big bucket of water, you only see one other person. You suddenly fear that his or her saliva is going to get in the water, and jump back.
You shout, āyou win!ā and hurry away.
Halloween in the times of COVID.
