Ok, my little ghosts and goblins.  We all know what time it is.  Yes, in just a few days, we’ll be passing out candy to all the spooky, silly, and spectacular children in our various corners of the globe.  Truthfully, there are only a handful of countries that celebrate Halloween, so we are going to try and make everyone happy as best we can. 

1.) Think back to your childhood and describe the best costume you ever had.  Was it a store bought costume, or a hand made one?  Was it scary, funny, or just an attempt to step outside yourself for a brief moment in time?

2.) Do a little research and tell your readers just how Halloween began.  Find it’s origins, the legends behind it, how it became a festive American holiday.

3.) Some countries don’t celebrate Halloween, but rather they celebrate the harvest festival.  How many other celebrations occur during this time of year, and where did they originate from?

4.) Have you ever been in a real haunted house?  Have you ever seen or heard a ghost or something from another realm?  Write a post in as much detail as possible describing the event and how it turned out.

5.) What are you afraid of?  What is the one thing that horrifies you more than anything else in the world?  Tell us about it, and why you think you are so afraid of this specific “thing”.

Ok, there you have it.  Your seeds for this week.  As always, if you write a post, poem, story, or article, based on any of these seeds, let us know and we’ll post the link to your work for the world to share.
