Not even _Jack Chick_ always put down Halloween! I remember one of his pamphlets, _The Little Princess_, in which a brother and sister(she’s very ill) go trick or treating. At one house they get a handful of candy, along with a religious tract. Neither the family of the kids, or the kindly folks who pass out the tracts, seem to thing there’s anything wrong with Halloween., since they both actively participate in it. ---

Don’t try to hide, either, because “God knows your every thought, word and deed and your conscience confirms that you’re guilty.” So we might as well have a good time! Toga! Toga! Toga! TOGA! ---

One year (as an adult) I went to a church-sponsored halloween house. xist it was terrible.

It would be fun to take a group of trick or treaters dressed in satanic and lizard costumes over to Jack Chick’s house. ---

'Cause if you do that…uh…you’re going to MEGA-Hell!
