Alan Cornett tells a story about the conservative patriarch Russell Kirk at Halloween:

The Halloween I spent at Piety Hill, Russell Kirk’s home, was one of my favorite times there. The house looked haunted year ‘round, but decorations ramped it up for All Hallow’s Eve. I recall Dr. Kirk wanting to leave the fake spider webs at the front door after the day was over. His wife Annette ignored him.

One young, wide-eyed trick-or-treater entered the darkened foyer, a space decorated with such things as a suit of armor, and encountered Dr. Kirk wearing a robe.

“Do you live here?” the boy asked.

“When we were alive we did,” Dr. Kirk answered with great seriousness.
