Quotable
by Mignon McLaughlin, American journalist and author (1913-1983)
"We lavish on animals the love we are afraid to show to people. They might not return it; or worse, they might."
Behind the Name
The name pumpkin comes from the Greek word "pepon," meaning "large melon."
Fearful Condition
Samhainophobia is the fear of Halloween.
Vanishing Act
The famous magician Harry Houdini died on Halloween night.
On the Cheap
The mask used for the Michael Myers character in the 1978 movie "Halloween" was actually William Shatner's "Star Trek" mask, the cheapest option for the film's tight budget.
Still on the Books
In Cleveland, women are forbidden from wearing patent leather shoes lest men see reflections of their underwear.
