For the most part, Halloween is simply an exercise in dressing up like Drake and calling it a year, but there is still a very small degree to which the holiday is supposed to be about scaring you, what with all the fake blood and weapons and such.

Just a reminder for all you kids out there: It’s all fun and games until your viewing of Halloween becomes a reenactment of Scream.
