The premise
Here’s the bit.
In a preview of her lifestyle show, Martha Stewart sets aside candy to focus on Halloween mischief. She presents an elaborate toilet-paper display at her ex-husband’s house, evaluates eggs for their decorative and unpleasant qualities, and fondly describes a burning doorstep surprise. Her calm delivery and tasteful presentation conceal a delight in tormenting the neighbors, culminating in an admission about letting her inner demons loose for the holiday.

Highly quotable.
That felt really good.
I spend 364 days a year suppressing the demons inside me.
But on All Hallows' Eve, I invite them to dance.
