I will hide away in my room for the weekend, listening to grotesquely happy music, drinking soup and tea, and ignoring the laughter and knocks and doorbell dings echoing throughout the neighborhood. I like costumes: no, I love costumes. I love the idea of temporarily shifting into the embodiment of someone else for a night. But I hate Horror. What does this holiday really stand for?
