@Extra_Special_Carbon @futurebird It is, and it means that trick or treat is a GIGANTIC deal here, over 100 kids consistently show up. It's one of the most fun things we do as a town.

But it does feel super early this year because of how the calendar falls. I understand the desire not to have it happen *after* October 31: keep it in October for tradition's sake, and also keep it from pushing too far into election season. I also think they want to keep it just before the end of Daylight Saving Time so the littlest kids can come around while it's still light.

@futurebird Our designated trick-or-treat time is TODAY (the last Saturday on or before Halloween) so I have to get ready. I'm not ready.

(I should have been in the mood. We visited Copenhagen's beautiful Tivoli Gardens weeks ago and they were already into their Halloween event, decorative gourds and skeletons everywhere.)

@futurebird @dhobern Usually, in this era, Red Kryptonite affects Superman in some random, goofy and story-specific way that wears off after a few days. It gives him a bulging super-brain or the head of a lion or alters his personality, and it's always a different effect. I guess in this case he knew this "cloud" had a specific effect he could exploit...

@futurebird @dhobern ah, so it's not just a "Red Kryptonite makes something random and wacky happen to Superman" story?
