The first costume that Lydia ever created was a goth suit for Jack, inspired by Castle Grayskull’s master.
“When can I wear it?” Jack asked eagerly.
Lydia said with a grin: “You can only wear it in Hell!”
Lydia’s dog, Stalker the Russian wolfhound, was discovered as a pup in a Detroit park. He died thirteen years later when he raided the garbage for Halloween treats, which glowed toxic in his stomach. A few nights before that, Lydia and Stalker went on their traditional trick-or-treating route through the suburbs. As Lydia explained to every spooked parent who answered the door, the huge dog didn’t require a costume because he looked “totally like a ghost anyway.”
