“Others may laugh at death—mockingly, nervously, nihilistically—but theirs is at bottom a laugh of despair. The Christian laughs in joy. When Christ was resurrected, surely the first sound to issue from his lips was joyous laughter. If Halloween is to retain any value for Christians, we must learn again to play in the laughter of Christ.”
