Colbert Fights Against 'The War On Halloween' (VIDEO)

But that's not all. A Christian group in Texas is reportedly encouraging people to ditch the sexy and scary costumes for sheets of white and Bibles. They're calling it Jesus Ween.

"Because dressing in white and handing out bibles is sure to make your house the creepiest one on the block," Colbert said.

The group is selling it as an alternative to Halloween -- a decision Colbert doesn't quite understand.

"Think about it, Jesus rose from the dead, he's the original zombie," Colbert said.
