It should come as no surprise that Halloween will look a bit different this year, but one normal morsel you can count on is that Party City is probably fresh out of cat ears by now. If you’ve left your costume to the last minute, do not fret.

Pretending we aren’t ourselves, even for just a few fleeting hours, can be an essential form of escapism, especially in a year like this. For one night, as we visit drive-through haunted attractions, trick-or-treat from a social distance or cozy up at home with a horror flick, maybe our faces can tell a different story than the one already unfolding.
