It’s October. ‘Tis the season for darkness, coziness, and horror. Halloween’s not really much of a thing over here in the UK—or at least not as much as it is in the U.S., where you people go absolutely fuc*ing apesh*t over it. I like the darkness and the autumn-ness of it all, and as a newly created horror fan I now enjoy that angle too. But what’s even better—as always, with everything—is the memes! Here’s my absolute favourite so far this year, which rips the sh*t out of the traditional American media scare story of dangerous stuff found inside Halloweed candy. Seriously, it’s so good—I could read these for weeks:

Make sure you check your children's trick or treat haul for drugs this year, just found this in a chocolate bar. Shocking stuff. pic.twitter.com/KH29mWC6YF

Parents, please check your kids' candy this Halloween. I just found several Cryptids in my chocolate bar. The good news is eating them leads to increased GP and other health benefits; the bad news is you're just as likely to be eaten ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ pic.twitter.com/RZbgyMSRtb
