Halloween is a special time of year, with bright-colored foliage, a slight chill in the air, and pumpkins everywhere. It is also a time when monsters can roam free and feast, a time when demons try to escape, a time when the spirits of yesterday teach us something about today.

Sometimes the ghosts who haunt us are welcome, and sometimes a portal is found in the most unlikely of places.
