Hey friend, this is Halloween 2022 and it is a theme that is not to be missed here.
It is something of which I want to discuss in a rational and adult approach.
I do not want to read too much into this because that's one of the things that humans do.
We tend to read too much into things.
We tend to over-analyze.
We tend to over-inspect.
We tend to deliberately find ourselves being...
Overly meticulous with our review.
Everything has some deep meaning.
Sometimes things don't have a meaning.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
As was said one time most famously.
But I am intrigued and always enjoyed the notion of Halloween for no particular reason.
And for those of you who are listening...
Across the world who may not be conversant in this.
I don't know if there are other countries who frankly enjoy it as much as we do.
I don't know.
But the first issue that must be addressed is what does it mean?
What is the origin?
Who knows?
All Hallows Eve!
A connection between All Souls Day?
Something involving perhaps maybe the Last Supper?
I don't know.
Nobody frankly thinks about this.
I don't.
I don't know.
If you want to see what goes on in our culture, if you want to understand something, go to Party City.
Party City tells you everything you need to know.
Oh, I get it.
And as I said, it's important for us not to go out of our way to overly analyze things.
But then again, if you don't analyze enough of it, you miss the beauty.
You miss the intrigue.
You miss the exciting aspects of it.
Are you following me?
Does this make sense?
I hope it does.
I hope you find this to be interesting.
Let me explain.
We're going to be going through a lot of stories of my recollection, my analysis, my view, which is really why you're here, because frankly you want to know, I know what I think, but what does he think?
And I thank you for that.
We'll be talking about this, stories, anecdotes, considerations, things you might want to be aware of or not aware of, and how Halloween has changed historically through the years.
Through the years and from when I was a wee lad up until today.
We'll be talking about that.
So enjoy yourself.
It's going to be a real fun-filled, frolicsome moment of confabulation and the like.
But first, let me, if I could, describe a few things for you.
And that is, on a more sour note, My dear friend, as you know, there are many, many, many reasons to be concerned.
And the world is becoming more frightening and more dangerous with every passing day.

Those who know what's coming are using today to prepare.
Are you doing that?
PrepareWithLionel.com PrepareWithLionel.com Now my friends, I must tell you a couple of things.
First, when I was a youngster, I was the devil.
Whenever we had this, the devil.
Anything with the devil, I loved it.
Didn't understand what the devil was.
Didn't understand it was evil, Lucifer.
Lucifer from Latin, Lux, Lucis of the Light.
You always get the nominative and the genitive whenever you give a noun.
I wore hats and capes.
I just was fascinated by this pan-like monster.
I didn't understand what he was.
During the First Communion, we...
Renounced Satan.
Okay?
I didn't know if that was the same guy that I'm...
I dig the horns.
Didn't understand what he was.
It just fascinated me.
The picture of the devil was always...
Just...
Again...
And the stories about the devil.
Later on, the exorcist, Rosemary's baby.
I mean, it just...
I was a little older.
But still, there's this...
From...
Everybody wants to be the devil in one way or another.
De Niro, Lucifer, Pacino.
And who remembers?
Please raise your hand.
And I was the cutest little devil.
I was.
I guess.
But nobody knew who we were.
Now raise your hand.
Do you recall?
What was your costume every year?
Did you have the same costume?
I'll bet you were cute.
Angel.
Angel.
Devil.
Hello.
Bo Peep.
Something cute like that.
The devil.
Diabolico.
That's it.
Diablo.
Every single year.
And we go to W.T. Grant's.
Woolworth's.
I think it was a Grant's store.
And I would buy this box.
Do you remember this?
It was a box that had a kind of a plastic film.
Look inside, and there it was.
The plastic mask had this elastic band that went around the back, and you put it in your face.
And the holes, which adjusted for the, how do I say this, the holes that were for the eyes, I don't think were made for a child.
So we're smaller.
So sometimes, I remember one time I said, wait a minute, hold it.
And my sister, what about hers?
We're moving it like this.
So you're basically putting on a mask.
You're putting on a blindfold over your head, which you can kind of see, maybe, you know, one versus the other.
And it's the devil.
And a little mouth, so nobody could hear you, nobody could see you.
And you had on this cape.
There was a cape.
This cape, it was made of plastic or synthetic or something.
And it had a paint on it.
And the paint was so flammable, it reeked of some kind of Chernobyl-like three-mile island spill.
It was just this paint.
And you knew if you got near an open flame, you'd be up.
Like a protester.
I mean, it would be bad.
Bad.
You'd be there immolating.
So, it didn't matter.
We went out into the dark with my mask, my blindfold.
We didn't care about anything.
I mean, we were going packs.
As long as you were with a group of your friends, eh, you know.
I think sometimes the parents came, sometimes they died.
I think we normally did, maybe later on.
But there was a year, I remember, we just never.
And there was no rules.
Nobody said, listen, go down two blocks.
Don't go to a house where there's no lights on.
Don't, you know, make nothing.
It was just assumed somebody stayed home and watched the house.
Because you wanted to make sure nobody...
Egged you.
Or toilet papered you.
That came later on.
Nobody really was into anything mischievous at the time.
Or mischievous, as people say.
Which drives me nuts.
And then you would say, that house.
You ever go walk around your neighborhood?
Most of the time you don't.
And you go, how long has this house been here?
I don't know.
Who lives here?
I don't know.
Have you ever seen anybody in this house?
No.
I never knew this house was here.
The light's off.
Is it off?
I don't know.
And instead of saying, keep going, we say, no, no, there'll be a committee.
I think there's somebody in there.
But I saw a movement.
All right, who's going up?
Jerry, it's your turn.
And we'd all say, no, all for once.
We'd go en masse.
And we, no lights.
How demented is this?
Ring the bell.
Or knock on the door.
And it was always, it wasn't really a, it wasn't a.
A cute trick or treat.
You know, wasn't happy.
It was scary.
Because you were dressed like a ghoul.
And then you'd wait.
Now, how long do we wait?
How long do we wait?
Do we what?
What do we do?
How long do we wait?
And they assign.
Nobody's answer.
I think he's in there.
Do it again.
I'm not going to do it again.
Why?
Just did it.
Do it again.
We're already here.
We'll do it together.
All of us.
All right.
He's not home.
And then you make sure, you would just make sure nobody's hiding in there.
Nobody's shirking their duty to dispense candy.
So you'd go down the driveway, whatever you see some other kids, don't bother.
Well, we'll try.
And then some would challenge you.
I thought, you know, I could have sworn I saw somebody.
I'm not sure.
And you'd maybe check.
Did you go over there, anybody?
No, I don't know.
I think Team 12, it was like SEAL teams.
I think they did.
Then sometimes it would be somebody who would leave.
You know, the honor system.
Please take one.
There'd be a jack-o'-lantern or some scarecrow out because they weren't home, but she had popcorn balls or whatever the candy something or other.
Please take one.
They're all gone.
It just started.
Somebody wiped them out.
Try to do the honor system.
Come on.
Is there no honor?
No.
No.
And then you would decide That one year, okay, I'm not going out anymore.
My parents would say, you stay home, you answer the door, and you watch the house, whatever that means.
So then you would wait.
And invariably somebody would come.
I don't really know.
To me, it's like when it starts to get dark, if you can even argue, well, is it strange?
Starting to get dark?
Okay, then it's negotiable.
But sometimes there'll be somebody who's coming, listen, this is 3 o 'clock.
This is too early.
You are violating the rule.
And there'll be these rules that you would immediately be the arbiter of at your home.
I'm sorry, it's too early.
And then they start.
And then later on, and this is a good one, later on, when it kind of dies off.
Then there's somebody who's like some straggler.
You ever got somebody like at 11 o 'clock?
It's like, what are you doing?
Where are you from?
This is too late.
Get out.
Be gone.
And you've turned the lights off and you've done everything.
We're not.
We're asleep.
It's like during a fire warden.
During the war, you pull down things.
And then, You do this one.
Sometimes you'll look and you'll see, anybody who's a little kid gets everything.
There's something so cute.
They're so cute.
You got it.
You just take your pail or whatever and you bump.
You get it, kid.
You got it.
Then you say, hey, wait a minute.
How old are you?
Twelve?
You're sixteen if you're a day.
You with any of these kids?
Sometimes it might be an older brother.
That's okay.
That's cool.
You're by yourself.
You're 60, probably 18. You've got a mustache.
What are you doing here?
And you immediately, you're like the bouncer.
Studio 54. You're too young.
Well, that's too young.
You're too old.
It's too early.
It's too late.
I gave you enough.
You've been back.
I recognize you.
And then you look at these people like, what are you supposed to be?
And also, that's one thing.
You get to see these, you know, sometimes it's just...
You know, when you were a kid, it was a sheet.
It was a pillowcase.
You either looked like Klansmen or some attempt at a ghost.
You know, you did the best you could.
But then you see some people and you wonder, what is this?
What are you?
I'm a killer.
You're a killer?
It got a little macabre.
So, it was interesting to see this.
But it was kind of cute.
It was...
Cute!
Mrs. Ellen and I were saying, there were things like Casper.
I think somebody here, I think our good friend Liz said, she was like Woody Woodpecker.
It was cute!
A little good witch, you know?
Cowboys and Indians.
Can you do that anymore?
Cowboys and Guardians.
It was cute!
That changed.
And then every now and then, do you remember anybody putting stuff on their lawns?
I don't really remember.
I mean, maybe a little.
Not like Christmas.
Christmas was a story.
Christmas was...
Christmas, people went through...
I mean, they put...
My God!
The money!
They would put the time, the effort...
Please, this is just the most incredible thing in the world.
The amount of time.
Wow!
But Halloween was like, no, not really.
Today, it's another story.
We go to drive around in the Yugo.
It's a stretch.
Which gets its own, you know, crowds.
But we drive around certain places.
And there are these towns in particular, some in Jersey.
And there's one guy who's pretty famous who's...
I don't know what this is.
I think he might be a dentist.
I don't know.
But his yard, year-round, is filled with mannequins.
I mean, it's just...
People pull over.
They get out of their car.
The neighbors have had enough of this and they have these signs.
No parking!
You know, they have their own security.
This guy is year-round.
But it's almost, they're very seductive.
I'm not going to tell you where it is, but they're like scantily clad.
I don't even know what this is.
It's like he went to a place and bought every mannequin.
Everything anybody's ever produced and they put them together and there it is.
And people get out and they say, wow, look at this.
Then you'll have, somebody will have the 24-hour loop.
All day long in that?
Imagine being the neighbor.
We have a tire store in the hood.
Wonderful man.
And he has one of the most, this is in Hell's Kitchen, one of the most detailed, whether it's Christmas, but Halloween, it's one.
Witches with a nose and the warts to get an alignment.
It's very interesting.
Some people go full out.
But here's what we've noticed.
Everything centers around death.
Everything.
All of a sudden, tombstones, skeletons, death, death, people hanging.
There was a guy they had in a makeshift electric chair, listen to this, with a skeleton with an IV.
And I wanted to stop and say excuse me.
I didn't, but I wanted to.
This mixed metaphor.
He's dead?
He's in an electric chair given a lethal injection or an IV to resuscitate him?
How long has he been there?
What is this?
It didn't matter.
He just said, just put this out.
But the funniest one I saw, to me, was they had, obviously, tombstones, sarcophaguses, catafalques, you know, obviously it was a graveyard, cemetery theme, and he had nailed to his tree, which I don't think you should do.
A sign that said, Cemetery.
Lest you not know what this was.
Incredible.
What is this?
It's dark.
Death.
One guy had, remember that?
Skeletons.
All over.
He must have had 200.
I'm serious.
On the roof?
Isn't it a free country in various positions doing things that...
And I don't think there's...
I'm not going to make any big statement about this event.
Because I think kids kind of like it.
Kids don't put this thing together unless you make a big...
You understand what this is?
This is about death.
It's like, death?
And by the way, there's one particular place, which is funny, and there's this huge area, well, a huge swath, if you will, in this one neighborhood that we drive through, and lo and behold, there's a cemetery there.
Anyway, so across the street from a real cemetery are people who create these makeshift party city cemeteries.
Now, let me ask you this question.
When you were a kid, I'm a child of the 60s.
We were told that there was one fear that we had.
What was the fear that you told?
Perhaps urban legend, perhaps not.
Nobody knows per se.
But what were you told to beware of?
What was it?
Perhaps urban legend, perhaps not.
But every year we used to think about it.
And people would say, you know, I knew this kid a couple of blocks over.
It's always a couple of blocks over.
I didn't know him well, but a couple of blocks over.
He, uh, well, you know what happened.
What happened?
You know what happened.
What happened?
They got him with a razor blade.
They did what?
Put a razor blade right in the apple.
And you would think about it.
Remember as a kid?
Do you ever see a kid when you tell me and they imagine, oh my god!
Imagine a...
And then I was thinking, show you the way I thought, what if you missed the blade and the last bite was the razor blade?
You missed it.
And you would think the whole time, I could have got...
I don't know what would be worth...
Well, I think biting the razor blade.
Razor blades.
Pins!
Pins!
In one year, I will never forget this, our local Channel 13, the Big 13, Pulse, they said, St. Joseph's Hospital has a special unit where you can bring your fruit, any suspicious fruit, to the hospital.
And they will x-ray it.
I swear to God.
This was the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life.
X-ray fruit?
First of all, who's eating fruit?
Who's giving away fruit?
It's like Charlie Brown with the rock and the foil.
I got a rock.
Who's giving away fruit?
What, grapes?
A persimmon?
I mean, I don't understand this.
Anyway.
But aside from that...
The fact that you would say, hey dad, yeah, I got all this fruit.
You've got enough fruit that you want to have it x-rayed en masse?
Not just one or two, but you've got enough?
Okay.
So my father very, I think authoritatively, turned to us and said in a loud voice, now listen and listen good.
You are not going to eat any fruit.
Don't take any fruit.
You want fruit?
I got fruit here for you.
Cold, crisp.
Perfectly provided in our fridge.
Do not take any fruit.
And I'm not taking any fruit to the emergency room to have an x-ray.
Can you imagine that?
You pull up, you get a box.
What is it?
Who's hurt?
Nobody's hurt you.
He's got these apples.
Can you look at these apples?
Your apples are hurt?
No, I turned.
There was an ad on TV.
An ad on TV?
What are you talking about?
You're the only one who's come here.
Is that about the fruit, Jerry?
Yeah.
He's the only one.
Who brings fruit?
Nobody does.
It's demented.
Demented.
But we heard about this.
Now, when you are in New York City, or you live in a condo, or you live in an apartment, it's very thorough.
They say, now listen.
Downstairs, at the front desk, there's a list.
If you want to give out candy, make sure you put that name down there.
You got that?
Make sure you put your name in your apartment now.
And if you want, you can put this little sticker on the door that tells kids, you can come here.
And we'll give out a list ahead of time of all the apartments.
And it's pretty tough.
Okay, floor 23, 23F, Jerry, you want to take that?
You know, they got to go there with their floor to floor.
And invariably, there'll be some kid somewhere, I don't know why, the doorbells, and you think, what?
I didn't leave it.
I didn't leave it.
Oh, no.
So you say, hi, I'm not on the list of that.
Hang on a minute.
And you look and you say, what have we got?
A couple of bucks.
There's a lottery ticket.
Want a beer?
How about some, you like Doritos?
No fruit.
And then invariably, we'll take this.
So we always have these spares in case some straggler.
Because they look just so pathetic.
My heart melts.
And you look like, where's the parent?
Is there a parent I can talk to?
Listen, little Casper.
It's very cute, by the way.
How old are you?
See, I wasn't on the list.
See, there's a list down there.
Hang on a minute.
You like to paint?
This is worth a couple of bucks.
Here, I'll give you one of these.
I don't know what this is, but it'll scare your friends.
Here, take one of these.
Here, how about some Ethernet cord?
You never can have enough of these.
Take that.
Take it.
How about an I voted early?
Sticker.
Oh, do you see this one I got?
They're going to love this one.
Yesterday, we voted early.
Can you see this?
It says, I'm a future voter.
I'm changing the subject, I realize.
I asked this woman, I said, what is this?
I'm a future voter.
What am I, a kid?
No, it's early voting.
No, no, no.
This doesn't say early voting.
No, that one says early voting.
This says, I'm a future voter.
I'm not eligible?
What does this mean?
She couldn't answer the question, and I'm wondering, why am I asking this person?
Obviously, it was a mistake.
Nobody cares, because you go into these precincts, and nobody's paying attention in the first place.
But I digress.
I've got to tell you this story.
I had a friend.
I love this story.
It is so cute.
My friend went, took his son out for the first time.
And he's never been to any kind of Halloween anything.
He has no idea what it is.
So my friend said, Okay, we're going to go.
Trick or treat.
He thought he explained it, but apparently he didn't.
So they went to this door.
They went to this house.
And when the door opens up, the kid walks in and sits down.
Like he's...
Like they're visiting.
And they're saying, hello.
And here he comes in.
He goes, Todd?
I'm sorry.
And the kids are sitting there.
You know the way they swing their legs?
Like, come on.
Let's get this party going.
Can I need a drink?
Say they're going to TV?
And they say, no, Todd.
Come here.
What?
He says, no.
Come on here.
What?
We don't go inside.
What?
No, we go outside.
We stay outside?
Yeah.
We don't go inside?
No.
Why?
Because this is Halloween.
And?
No, it's an outdoor thing.
An outdoor.
And he didn't realize, this is, nope, nope, we don't do this.
We don't go up to a house, knock on the door, and stand there.
Door to door, full of brush man.
Anyway, so this poor kid had to be told, his very first brush with this, he fails.
I thought that was great.
I loved that.
Yeah, let him come on in.
Has anybody seen my old friend Mark?
Have you seen these poor kids?
Have you seen this, honey, where they go to a parking lot and they back their cars up in a circle and they put the hood up or the boot up the trunk?
No.
They go from your car to the next, you know, and you have your SUV and it opens up.
Here you go.
No.
That is so sad.
It is sad to think that yet again, another moment of my youth, which I took for granted, I thought, well, it's not that big of a deal.
Turned out to be a big deal.
I have I remember there was always somebody then, they always talk about this, should we be celebrating?
Isn't this really a pagan?
Is this witchcraft?
Would you please stop it?
It's just, come on.
How about the price of candy?
Have you seen the trunk or treat?
Very good.
Somebody wrote trunk or treat.
Is that what they call it?
I thought...
I thought you came up with that on your own.
This shows you my complete detachment.
What is candy going for now?
We went into a place.
My God.
We went to our place.
Mrs. L was saying, what is this?
What you're looking at?
What is this?
I'm saying, forget it.
No, we've got to get something.
We've got to get something?
We've got to get something?
Okay, fine.
But I can't believe it.
And you know what?
I never liked candy.
Never like it.
Never like that you take it home and say, here you go.
I just...
Tell me, universally, what is considered the most unfavorable candy, without a doubt, that is still produced, and nobody likes it.
It's the fruitcake of...
Nobody's ever eaten a fruitcake that I know of.
It's this.
What is the one...
What is it?
What is it?
What is the one candy?
See, if anybody...
Who gets it first?
We're doing this live right now.
The one candy.
That if you see this, you say, Oh my God.
Why did you do this?
Thank you so much.
By the way, Pete has been spot on.
Candy corn.
Candy corn.
I don't know who likes it.
I don't know who makes it.
I knew a fellow years ago who worked for a company.
In Plan City Flora, who used to make glazy fruit for fruitcakes, said, how much of this can you sell?
Like you can't believe.
But it's one of those things.
That's like, don't you think that candy corn is the peeps of Halloween?
Do people like peeps?
There's something, sweet tarts, Very good.
Sweet tarts.
Very good.
Necco wafers.
Doesn't that sound...
Candy corn.
I used to like...
There were some things I liked.
I enjoyed, for some reason, anything that's hot.
Red Hots.
I love that.
Love Red Hots.
Oh, yeah.
I love anything hot.
I just made...
I just got...
Listen to this.
I just got a big...
Container.
Sixteen ounce of red pepper flakes.
I got piper flakes.
That's right, Granny.
I got my some piper flakes.
Yes, sir.
And I grind them in a coffee grinder.
And it unleashes.
It takes the heat level and just do some of that.
That'll do it.
I just made a big, beautiful, I took some habaneros, which are, okay, scotch bonnets.
Boiled them down.
Pulverize them.
I made a nice little sauce.
Very nice.
I like hot stuff.
And as a kid, I thought, these are good.
These are alright.
Jawbreakers.
Those ones that, those things that you can't, they never melt.
I just never, I just...
Who agrees the candy tasted?
Better.
Do you ever go to a candy store?
Do you ever go to these?
They have, eventually, this candy store.
And it's invariably run by somebody who wants to go back to the days of yore.
And he has the white striped shirt, kind of like the barbershop quartet.
He has the little wrist arm bracelet, you know.
And he's, hey, come on in here.
Would you like some?
You know, he's trying to relive the, okay, all right, okay.
They kind of carry it away.
And sometimes it's like, you know, because sweets and they were a little bit more.
Here's one I saw for you.
Do you know that in New York they have one place where you can go to get Fountain of Coke that's made with a couple of blasts of Coke syrup, which I don't.
I'm not a big fan of.
But seltzer water.
And they actually make it.
It's a fountain.
That's another experience.
If you've ever seen that.
A fountain.
People get into this stuff very seriously.
Have you heard people who like Coke that's made from Mexico because it uses sugar cane versus whatever hour, I guess, from beets or GMOs?
You really spend a lot of time with this.
Then, of course, you get into chocolate.
And I'm going to say something that is...
Heretical, but I'm going to say it nonetheless.
Chocolate is chocolate.
I don't care what...
I mean, there's different types.
There's light chocolate, milk chocolate, but I'm just saying, if it's in the size, if it's in the shape of the Eiffel Tower versus a sombrero, it's chocolate.
The shape of it means nothing.
Now, there are other styles, you know, that Jacques Torres, you've been to one of his shops, very artistic.
You don't want to eat it.
But thankfully, thankfully, I never had the sweet, you know, I mean, they're okay.
They're okay.
But thank God, because chocolate is an addiction.
Chocolate, who agrees with me?
Chocolate to some people.
It is something as potent.
And as powerful as anything...
I mean, there are people who really...
I believe it.
There is not an addiction, but I think it satisfies a particular need that you must have.
Thank God I don't have sweets.
And thank God I have absolutely no interest in gambling.
I will enjoy a lottery ticket.
That's always fun.
That's good.
Hey, the mega's up.
I'll buy one.
That's about it.
Thank God.
I'm not trying to tell you I'm better than anybody.
Just thank God that I'm not into that because I don't particularly care for the problems that are attending there too.
Let me stop right now and just say, you know what makes a great gift as far as I'm concerned?

I think it's fun.
It's just tradition.
Just let it go.
Kids love to dress up.
Don't you think it's just fun?
Kids, think about that.
You go to a house, you hold out a bag, they give you stuff, this is great!
What's wrong with that?
I mean, seriously, what is wrong with that?
We need more of them.
We need more, especially get out!
Go out!
Walk!

Always stay with your parents, though.
