Scream Fair

Terror from the north! What makes this annual event in Lynden, Wash. so frightening? The unbearable proximity of Canada! Like the pod people in Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Canadians are, at first glance, almost indistinguishable from Americans. And more polite. Which means that in any of the three haunted houses you choose to tour, beware of the friendly invitation to cut in line! Beneath that mask of ghoulish probity could like the fiendish heart of a serial killer! Or go ahead and take your chances, if you date. But don't saw we didn't warn you, eh? T. BOND
