Dad Drives 160 Miles for Zombie Ratman, Teen Ghosts Halloween
In a tragicomic October saga, a dad makes a 160-mile road trip just to score a one-armed, rodent-infested animatronic zombie named Rick Ratman from eBayâbecause clearly, nothing says family bonding like haunted tech road quests. Meanwhile, his son deigns to roll his eyes in a Spirit Halloween store, choosing Michael Myers as fast as one dodges family fun. Daughter dropped the 'Less is more, Mom' mic, ditching her Victorian seance vibes for a Starbucks run, describing Mom's decor as 'tasteless and tacky.' Finally, our hero mom wrestles with AA batteries, tangled spiders, and the cold stares of pixelated teens glued to Switches, realizing Halloween joy now comes with a side of existential battery drain anxiety.
