23d ago1:27:15

1:27:15

From homemade costumes to pillowcase candy hauls, Halloween as a GenX kid was something special. It was a simpler time with more freedom, but also prone to real-world scares that have led to a more watered-down Halloween today.

When Generation X dreamed about the future, we pictured either a technological paradise with flying cars, helpful robots, no illness and rocket ships or we pictured a wasteland brought on by some human action.
