Today is the day!
The most important day in all of October.
Halloween is here!
And that means that it is the one time of the year that Sam is free to be spooky.
~~~

But Sam was not expecting his friends to also act spooky today.
He was not prepared.
~~~
Fortunately, being spooky isn't all there is to do on Halloween.
Halloween is also a time to be tricky.
Sam is convinced that this year's super realistic costume will fool everyone.
None of the neighbors will know it's really him!
Success! Comicat and Wolfy have no idea that it really is Sam in the costume!
And judging by his reaction, Mr. Toad is fooled by the costume too! He never says such colorful words to anyone else!
~~~
But Sam is terribly dismayed to find that Mr. Elefanté does not seem to recognize his costume at all! He wonders if it might not be so good after all...
Until he remembers that he has never met Mr. Elefanté before.
He is new to the neighborhood.
But it is unlikely he will forget Sam anytime soon now...
...because even though some of the other neighbors have very nice costumes, none are anywhere near as unique as his.
~~~
~~~
~~~
What a faux pas!
~~~
Fortunately, Uncle Tubby was in luck.
His sister Pam had a surprise in store.
She had sewn for him his very own unique costume.
Not too spooky, and not too Sammy.
But perfectly Tubby.
And Sam liked this one much more.
It was just right.
It fit Uncle Tubby's personality very well, thought Bingo.
He had never seen such a resplendent flower.
Sam's mother would not stop there however! She had even made matching puppy costumes!
And a special one just for Bingo.
(knowing how much cats love to dress up and not wanting him to feel left out!)
~~~
It was adorable.
Halloween so far was shaping up very nicely.
It couldn't get much better than this, thought Sam, and it was still only morning!
Correction: now it couldn't get any better than this.
Sam and Bingo have decorated their house with extra scary decorations for Halloween.
Sam thinks it's just spooky enough.
Any more and it would be much too frightening.
~~~
Last night, everyone made their own Jack o' lantern...
in the traditional form of a self-portrait!
Each one is unique and special in its own way.
~~~
Though Uncle Tubby did not realize that he didn't have to try and carve out the portrait life-sized.
Don't worry, Tubby, it's not a contest.
But as fun as all this is, more than anything, Sam cannot wait to go trick-or-treating as soon as it gets dark outside.
Trick-or-treating is the highlight of any good Halloween!
Just thinking about it makes him feel warm and happy inside.
~~~
~~~
~~~
Bingo, however, doesn't enjoy trick-or-treating as much.
Thinking about it gives him anxiety.
~~~
~~~
~~~
~~~
~~~
~~~
He looks at the time - almost 6 o'clock.
Trick or treating will begin soon.
But wait! Sam seems to have fallen asleep!
Maybe he'll sleep right through it this year-
Well maybe next year.
It is now time to trick-or-treat!
Sam is very excited! It's here! It's finally here! Nothing can stop him now.
~~~
Except for a thunderstorm.
It is raining!
During trick-or-treat time!
Sam can't go trick-or-treating in the rain, he'll ruin his costume and catch a cold and possibly even die!
This day could not get any worse!
This day could not have gone any better!
Now they can celebrate Halloween the way cats like to do it.
By staying in, where it's warm and cozy.
Sam does not want to stay in.
~~~
With newly released blockbuster movies!
Maybe Sam wants to stay in a little bit.
~~~
~~~
...and fresh-baked cookies in festive shapes!
~~~
Sam decides that this might be ok.
~~~
~~~
~~~
Even without trick-or-treating, Sam realizes, Halloween can still be a magical time of the year.
~~~
~~~
Happy Halloween from Sam and Friends.
