Hi. My name is Bob Marcus. This is a true event that happened to me. October 30 1974, to this day, still gives me nightmares. Ask my wife, Donna. I always loved Halloween as a kid. Not just the candy, but the fun parties at school, the decorations, the black and white movies played,back then,on the antenna tv, Frankenstein, oh, and the PEANUTS special, Poor Charlie Brown Time seemed to move slower. No internet or cell phones. maybe that was a blessing in disguise. My next door neighbors, The Williams, had a boy named Tommy and a daughter, Pam. Tommy was my age at the time, seven, and his sister was five. Tommy loved to dress up as a cowboy, so on Halloween every Halloween he did just that. The autumn breeze would scatter the leaves and that earthy smell would linger in your nose, organic and primal. I decided I would be Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man, with a tin foil, fake Bionic Man. I wanted a glass eye, but nothing seemed to work. Marbles fell out of my eye socket. T hat was the fun part of Halloween using one's own imagination, being able to choose a new identity, be someone else for a change not just a little kid, told to eat his broccoli, go to bed at eight thirty, brush your sugary, rotting teeth, take a bath. Yuk! looking back, childhood was quite carefree. Now? Rats
