It wasn't too long before the main event of October began. It was now officially time for Spookyville. This was generating a lot of publicity, especially for the tourists. In fact, it was because of the fact that there were now so many tourists showing up for Spookyville that they moved the starting date to October 24. While many other were paying attention to monsters in otherwise normal situations, there were still several activities that were considered fun for all ages.

"So why are we doing this, again?" asked Clara as the latest bag of leaves was dumped into the large pile that was already there.
"Because children jumping in fallen leaves is one of the 'traditions' of fall." answered Rick. "Also, I've heard that a long time ago, people who weren't exactly good neighbors toward each other would dump their leaves in their neighbor's yard."
"That doesn't make any sense." commented Clara
"Back then, people had ideas that we would now consider weird." acknowledged Rick.

Miss Vivian's Intimacy Boutique was learning something new. Mainly about how the erotic remakes of either known horror movies or horror monsters were selling so fast that fights over who would get the "last movie" would break out sometime. Fortunately the Wolfe family was able to keep things inside the store from being destroyed.

Fall was also the time when Fall Fever started hitting Animalians the hardest. Fortunately, UFC-A was in place to keep male Animalians from hurting each other too bad. Also, the theme of "Boo Haw Haw" matched the general theme of Spookyville. It was something to watch two stag Animalians go at each other while dressed up as famous horror monsters.
