"For all the hysteria over sexy costumes (thoughts on Miley Cyrus&amp;#039;s dominatrix get-up, anyone?), spooks over poisoned candy and razor blades in apples, and warnings about stranger danger on Halloween night, there&amp;#039;s one far more, er, pedestrian scare I want to put out there for tomorrow night: Getting hit by a car. Not as much fun to think about as Snickers bars or what to wear, but there you have it. Apparently more than 500 kids under 14 are killed while on foot each year on Halloween, most from 4 pm to 10 pm. (That&amp;#039;s compared to just one on other nights of the year.) It seems more worrisome than ever to me with all the distracted drivers texting and cell-phoning.  Remind your kids before they head out to Go Slow. Give them strong flashlights. Consider adult supervision just to be there reminding them to Go Slow.   On a lighter note, here&amp;#039;s one of my all-time favorite Halloween pix: My son dressed as Davy Crockett, and his sister the ballerina \u2013 except when asked &amp;quot;And who are you?&amp;quot; she&amp;#039;d say, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m Georgie Russell!&amp;quot;  That&amp;#039;s Davy&amp;#039;s trusty sidekick \u2013 and if you don&amp;#039;t know the reference and have a kid under 10, rush out to rent or buy the wonderful Disney Davy Crockett movies starring Fess Parker as Davy and Buddy Ebsen as Georgie. \u2013Paula Spencer, WD &amp;quot;Momfidence&amp;quot; columnist "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
