What’s more terrifying than a vampire bat swooping down out of the dark October sky in search of fresh blood?
What’s scarier than being trapped in a haunted house with only the ghosts of the past to keep you company?
What’s more nightmarish than a zombie apocalypse with nothing but a landscape of the undead as far as the eye can see?
Well… those are some pretty frightening scenarios, but all of them fun to entertain and explore around the Halloween season. However, none of them compares to the ultimate of all Halloween horrors: being unprepared. The sheer terror!
Sure, most of us have our basic October 31 checklists to make sure we’re covered come trick-or-treating time:
