Summary

Halloween seems to have transformed from being a fun day for kids to dress up and get candy into an all-out celebration of death, demons, and evil. Why are parents dressing their children up as serial killers? When did torture scenes become part of home decorations? How can Christians navigate this popular pastime? Is there a way to use this "holiday" to advance the kingdom of God? Hear the answers as Rick Burgess uses the power of the Bible to win the spiritual war going on around us on this episode of "Strange Encounters."
