Why, Cochran, why?
Do I need a reason? Mr. Kupfer was right, you know... I do love a good joke and this is the best ever, a joke on the children.

It was the start of the year in our old Celtic lands, and we'd be waiting... in our houses of wattles and clay. The barriers would be down, you see, between the real and the unreal, and the dead might be looking in... to sit by our fires of turf. Halloween... the festival of Samhain! The last great one took place three thousand years ago, when the hills ran red... with the blood of animals and children.

It was part of our world... our craft.
Witchcraft.
