Mary Shelley

Do you remember Halloween?

I do.

I remember a time when masks, fake blood, toilet papers, and overcoming fears were the keys to a successful All Hallow’s Eve. Lately, however it seems as though the act of making Halloween less fearful has turned the creatures that go bump in the night into those that go bump and grind in the night.

Samhain (not the band) was a celebration of the end of the lighter half of the year and the darker half beginning. It celebrated a time when spirits could move beyond this world and, in order to avoid harm, people dressed in costumes to confuse and disorient the spirits.

Fear can be a wondrous emotion. Mary Shelley recognized this as she drew inspiration from Darwin’s reanimated vermicelli (the worm not the noodle) and the complications of her birth that led to the death of her mother. Utilizing those concepts, Shelley created the greatest myth in Modern times: The myth of a lonesome scientist who pushes too far into the unknown and creates something outside of his control. Without the smallest hint of fear mankind becomes unruly and unquestioning, too much fear makes us meek and afraid. The greatest action we can take is to embrace fear, as the Celts (not the sport’s team) did and dispel it with understanding and reverence.

We have enough monsters in the world without making more.
