Anyone could see that the wind was a special wind this night, and the darkness took on a special feel because it was All Hallows' Eve.
Everything seemed cut from soft black velvet or gold or orange velvet. Smoke panted up out of a thousand chimneys like the plumes of funeral parades.
From kitchen windows drifted two pumpkin smells: gourds being cut, pies being baked.Ray Bradbury - The Halloween Tree
From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!
