The Changing (and Ghoulish) Faces of Halloween
From Jackson Braider | 06:30
How Halloween has -- and hasn't -- changed over the years.
Visit the Halloween Outlet of Worcester, Massachusetts, and what you'll find are incredibly realistic portrayals of very unreal things -- a one-eyed monster chained to a rock, a headless body on life support, an aged first attendent trembling as he holds a brain on a silver tray.
With this as a backdrop, Lesley Bannatyne, editor of the recently published "A Halloween Reader," explains how the holiday has remained true to its, umm, spirit over the centuries.
