Happy Halloween!

This episode is a special Halloween episode.

Whenever there are monsters in the closet or under the bed or lurking in shadowy corners,

just out of the night lights reach.

I do what any smart kid would.

I hide under the covers.

Before long, I'm sound asleep.

But that doesn't mean I'm safe.

What if I suddenly need a glass of water?

Or there's a storm wrapping at my window,

or I pop a wake from a nightmare?

And what if it's midnight when I do?

I'll tell you, you don't want to be awake when midnight rolls round.

That's when all the really bad stuff happens.

Think about it.

How many scary stories have you heard happen in the morning or afternoon?

It's always the dead of night.

And there's no dead of time than the stroke of midnight.
