"So much that's been written about Halloween has been about the holiday's history or about how to decorate, cook, and costume for it (guilty, all counts), but there's not been much written about what it is today, who makes Halloween, and why," writes Bannatyne in the book's introduction. ![]() Traveling across the country, she visited and talked with horror fanatics and fang makers, professional haunters, registered mediums, psychologists, and Halloween enthusiasts ranging from NPR's Garrison Keillor to Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger and The Simpsons' "Treehouse of Horror" writer Mike Reiss, to find out what the increasingly popular holiday means to people and how they celebrate it. It took two years of investigative work for Halloween author Lesley Pratt Bannatyne to add a fifth book to her collection.
