Just normal Halloween traditions.

Oh, there is one. Every year my friend says he's going to spend his night stabbing cats, because when he was a kid his parents always told him that if he didn't bring the cats inside they'd get stabbed, but he never heard of it actually happening, and thinks that's wrong. Then I tell him that he'll never stab a cat, even if it tried to kill him, because he's a big softy and would lay down and let a cat take a cute little dump on his chest before he'd ever hurt one. And then he pouts.
