The title, *Don't Be Afraid*, sets the tone before the picture does: it offers reassurance in a season built around being scared. Halloween in America grew out of older autumn customs, and by the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries it had become a holiday of costumes, games and mock frights, especially for children. A picture with this title fits that tradition, where something eerie is softened by humor or comfort. Notice how the scene balances unease against playfulness, which is much of the holiday's appeal.
