This year Julie was a mermaid and Nate was an Enderman, and both received more than enough compliments on their outfits. Function took a backseat to fashion however, as Julie's costume kept ripping and Nate's glowing red eyes hid a hot kid who had difficulty seeing all those little doorfront steps. We tried trick-or-treating around the block, but an empty street forced us head a few streets toward the Burton Valley epicenter of action, including an entire house staffed with actors and props made to look like Hogwarts from Harry Potter.
