Every year Halloween continues to draw closer to matching Christmas as the most celebrated holiday in America, yet it still doesn't get the props it deserves in certain circles. Oh well, I guess people like us, who go over-the-top in recognizing and celebrating it, make up for those who don't. <strong>Ethan</strong>, Thanks, glad you liked those! I often think of the 80's in the same way. Although, if I could go back, I don't think I would. Once around in childhood was enough for me. :) <strong>Goldie</strong>, As Borat would say, "Wow-ee, wa-wa!" Your channels go all out! :D We don't have anything remotely close to that. In fact, there isn't even a mention of Halloween by our local channels during promos or bumpers. Jessica Garate of our Fox affiliate was kind enough to do a segment on Season of Shadows, and occasionally you'll see a bit about Spirit Halloween and a few of the local pro haunted houses on the news. However, you never get any feel-good Halloween wishes here. autumnforest,

Ethan,

Thanks, glad you liked those! I often think of the 80′s in the same way. Although, if I could go back, I don’t think I would. Once around in childhood was enough for me. :)

Usually something quick like that, about 10 seconds or so, in which a creepy image was shown with "Happy Halloween" floating across the screen. Where I live, channel 31 created a Halloween play for the entire 30 seconds usually pertaining to all of the anchors dead due to the poisoned cookies the secretary made, who was in her 80's. Another one was of the anchors being chased by that same secretary with a chain saw and so forth. Those were provided in the last week of October. Ya'll didn't have that in NM?
