kuaptic October

October is a month of secrets. In LA, everyone's secret is that they wish it was cool enough to wear sweaters. Everyone is worn out by the heat. You feel like you can't even look at a tank top anymore.

October is a month where we welcome the idea of cooler weather, and the coming darkness of winter. They say that December is more about the celebration of darkness. We disagree. Winter, near the solstice, is the celebration of light in the darkness, the knowledge that the end is coming. But in October, that's when things are just getting started. Halloween has become the celebration of darkness -- monsters and ghouls being just cartoon representations of the unknown, of the things we fear.


Los Angelenos know that we don't only fear the unknown -- we have every right to fear what walks the streets of our fair city every day. So in October kuaptic is exploring the city's dark side, not only the strange and the haunted, but also the bloody. Time to start sleeping with the lights on.
