In 1957, when I was five, I went to the movies with my brothers and we watched the movie Beginning of the End about giant locust who invaded Chicago.

Looking at the movie clips now, I clearly see, the insects were put in a small miniature town so they would look big and their pictures blown up in size. The movie frightened me so badly I had to run to the girls room and hide there until the movie was over. It scared the bejeepers right out of me.

Silly you said? This is such a corney, unrealistic sci-fi movie. Sure you can say that, you’re not five years old.

Lately I have been shopping in my location Lowe’s hardware store. Usually I like that store and have shopped there many timed. That is, of course, until the Halloween Horror!

Not only are these characters horrible and gruesome, they are larger than life size and stand anywheres of six feet and above. What kid wouldn’t be scared to death! Wow. Thank you so much, Lowes, for putting the dollar sign in front of common sense and place the “Happy” back into Halloween! So much for it being a happy, fun holiday for kids!
