Forget trick-or-treaters. By far the scariest and most horrible of all monsters are the Santa Monicans for Renters' Rights canvassers who bang on apartment doors and scream that your landlord will raise your rent and throw you out unless you vote for us! Every year at this time these vampires arise from their putrid coffins and bang on apartment doors and threaten and terrorize the neighbors to vote them back in for another 32 years of selling out our town.
