Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So you've never spent a Halloween night assembling Revell plastic models?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
You haven't been to ours.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
She totally got her candy stolen and was stuffed in a trashcan as a kid. Every year.

I loved Silk Stalkings, even as I knew it was crap. Never saw Forever Knight until cable reruns though--was Silk Stalkings paired with anything else?
Sweating Bullets was the one I loved.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That whole post doesn't even mention Samhain? Hilarious.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I checked Wikipedia--I'm not sure I ever saw Silk Stalkings on CBS. I'm pretty sure it was USA only, since I only came to the States in 93 and none of the other Crimetime shows look familiar.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Y'know, given that Halloween celebrations are a bit of a fairly-recent American import here, churches have a tradition - developed over the last twenty years or so - of denouncing Halloween as demonic, or at least plain old evil. I was surprised to arrive in the US and find churches throwing Halloween parties (and good ones, judging by the fantastic costumes worn by the kids I was a nanny for). Seriously, I grew up (at my parents' admittedly rather out-there church) basically being told I'd probably burn in hell if I dressed as a witch on 31st Oct. Also, I used to get ranted at for watching BtVS by such Christians. Also, also, I've sat through 40-minute sermons about Harry Potter and the Hell-Bound Children Who Like Reading.
Not that I'm bitter, or rebelling with an unhealthy obsession with all things vampiric, zombie-ish, alien-like, lesbian-witch-y, or Eliza-Dushku-shaped. Of course not. Death-themed candy, anyone?

It started out on CBS, but moved to USA after 1 or 2 seasons.

Oooo! Me me me! Especially if it's Eliza Dushku shaped
I can't believe she's never heard of All Saints' Day. Or maybe saints are satanic, too.
