Jack Chick Declares War on Halloween and Calls for Restoration of Reformation Day

Jack Chick, publisher of the "Chick Tracts," the delightful piece of American religious pop culture one can find scattered almost anywhere were the public congregates and his time on their hands, has issued a call for the return of Reformation Day and announced a renewed "War on Halloween."

In a 9/1/2010 letter announcing the launch of a new Halloween centered "Chick Tract" titled "Stinky," Chick bemoaned the return of Halloween and the lack of interest in Reformation Day which is a Protestant celebration. Chick decries that "no remembers that day [Reformation Day] anymore. Now it's ghosts and goblins with kids pushing up the steps for treats".

Jack Chick intends for the new "Stinky" Chick Tract to help Evangelical Christains defeat "Satan's troops by winning kids and their folks to Christ."

Chick proclaims some success in this endeavor allegeding that "sometimes angry witches will call our ladies who take orders over the phones. They begin screaming that we are ruining their highest holy day for Satan-- and we love it."

However, a Wiccan this author has texted with responded "Hell, no," when asked if Satan was involved in Wicca or other mainstream forms of witchcraft. Apparently, Wicca and other religions that produce "witches" do not believe in Satan.

More updates on this budding war against Halloween as they develop.

Jack Chick's Craziness Not FBI Worthy

Jack Chick is the producer of the crazy religious tracts that you have probably encountered in heavily traveled common areas: bus stops, public restrooms, train stations, and so forth. Given his nearly constant production of craziness, I thought it be interesting to see what American law enforcement had to say about him. So I had a FOIA request submitted to the FBI.

Interestingly enough, Jack Chick, or at least his company has not drawn the formal attention of the FBI. Now, Chick himself might have an FBI file, however, until he dies, the FBI will not release or even confirm his having a FBI file. Below is the rejection letter.
