    Small Frights: Misbehavior on the Halloween Express

    Today we hear about the harrowing journey one Lantern has on the Halloween Express and lament how disappointing professional Halloween themed jobs can be. We also get a FANGtastic call from a dad who has noticed a newer trend while taking his daughter Trick-or-Treating and read a letter from a mom whose young son has recently become obsessed with Halloween year round.
