We start thinking about Halloween a year ahead of time. Some are saying that business is returning to normal, and that trick or treating is the sort of all-American distraction this country needs as folks try to get back to normal. Majdoch spoke with The Wolf Files as he was opening a third Halloween Express store in Milwaukee. So Halloween will go on, even though people aren't in the mood for pretend shock. You probably won't see as many Grim Reapers knocking on your door, asking for candy.
Some costumes are in exceedingly bad taste.
Halloween Express and other stores have traditionally sold gas masks and Arab garb. But it's still for sale. If you're wife is going to a party as Cleopatra, you want to be a sheik. Majdoch's gas masks are actual government surplus. They don't work as well as the newer models, but they're functional, he says.
