Mara June

It all started on October 31st 1980 when the sun went down to reveal the coal black sky sprinkled with diamond lights. There she was..finally she'd arrived. Little did they know but they had been awaiting her arrival all along. Concieved "on accident" by a drummer and a groupie.. having no idea what had happened on that drunken evening of wild sex,(possibly drugs), and of course rock and roll. The sense of rejoice was overwhelming, almost unbearable. Every child in every town was dressed for the occasion. Food, drink and even candy were tossed up and caught in the mouth.. everything and everyone felt free. Free to be themselves under masks and capes. The streets were filled with ghouls, goblins and devils. The evening was mysterious, creepy..haunting even. Every year since the day of this child's birth, the world has celebrated.. it is in fact a legacy, a tradition that will never die, and of course a tale which will never end..
