The sidewalk vibrates. SILENCE. No one moves on Main Street. Mickey pumpkins glow against the dark, grins as wide as Cheshire Cats. Clack-clack … clack-clack … The Headless Horseman looms larger than anything we’ve ever faced. Dark, a sky of no stars, the horse towers over us, all legs, chest, muscles.

There’s no castle. Disney ducks flee, their webbed feet lost under the clack-clack … clack-kraaak. Our mouths are so dry. A chill cuts through the still air, trailing down our backs like a wet finger. Our eyes sting — horse sweat, smoke and something feral.

If you dare … gather your tricks and treats — that is, tickets plus save the dates — this spooky fall at Walt Disney World.
