Why I hate Halloween.

Don't hate me.

Reasons.

1. Kids don't dress up as "scary" things anymore, y'know?. On Halloween I expect to see a group of children dressed as the 4 riders of the apocalypse, not a gorrilla, spider man, a lady bird and a ballerina. I swear, one year, I'm going to make a fully fledged necromorph costume and show them all how it's done.
2. Why do we accept these sweets from complete strangers?, for all we know they could be drugged or poisoned..I mean, on any other day of the year if a stranger offers you sweets, you pass them off as "paedo sweets" or "HIV Central"...Why is there an exception on this one day?
3. It's a paedo haven. Little kids running around in skimpy witch outfits and those superhero suits with the fake muscles..I mean listen to this scenario: two kids are fighting over some sweets, old man Brown walks over and says "Boys, boys, we can settle this fairly, how about: first one to down this cup of rohipnal wins!". eh?
4. Lastly, it's completely pointless...it serves no purpose other than nightmares and late night puking after too much cheaply bought super market's own brand gummys.

They are my views...I was bored, I wanted to share.

Say what you like.

I hate Halloween too :D I just make sure that someone else always answers the door to those little monsters. However disaster has struck this year! My parents are going out for dinner and my brother will be hiding in his room on Facebook meaning I'm left downstairs watching X Factor on my own and having to answer the door. I suppose I could just ignore the door? :D

   That's usually the parents' fault, when they start out by dressing their child as a bumblebee, do you think the child wants to be a zombie the next year.

   Your schools don't have the police presentations where they tell you what kind of candy not to eat because of that kind of stuff, if not... I can see why you'd be scared.

   In my town, at least, there are police and firefighters driving around making sure that sort of stuff doesn't happen.

   It's called restraint, if they don't have it, it's no ones fault but their own.

To each their own, I guess. You can't tell people what to wear any other day of the year. Me and my friends always used to dress as "scary" characters, anyway.

Regardless of all the awful things that we hear on the news all the time; I doubt that there are so many sick people out there that you're going to end up receiving poisoned candy. How paranoid can you get? When you're getting served in a restaurant, do you suddenly start wondering about the possibility that the waiter is a deranged killer who has poisoned your food for his own twisted pleasure?

A peadophile can abduct a child any day of the year.
Although, parents shouldn't be letting their young children go out alone late at night just because it's Halloween. I'll agree with that.

Lastly, it's completely pointless...it serves no purpose other than nightmares and late night puking after too much cheaply bought super market's own brand gummys.

It's fun?

I'd like it a whole lot more if I could find a decent OrgXIII costume. xD

But all the places we go are safe for my little sisters (read: I wouldn't be caught dead in a costume there at 15). Obviously not 100% safe, still, nothing has happened yet, and there's generally police cars driving around.

I think in the proper setting, most of your gripes are nullified. Of course, this makes it boring for anybody over the age of 12.

My friend bought a Michael Jackson mask for halloween...
So i guess that was a good thing and a bad thing we got extra candy and all the stalkers had dissappeared :/

Halloween Is If'y to me I Can Remember when it was actually scary and when the moniker was correct you give us a treat or we trick you(ex. teepee, cats tails tied together around door handle)

Halloween is a great thing to celebrate. Scariness is for fun and fun is their for you to enjoy life!

Really, halloween is a fun event. You should go enjoy it whilst you can. At least you get sweets as a treat of some sort...

Yes, I do consider begging as fun.

The point is that not everyone considers it 'fun'. Hence the reason for this topic.

That is true, but if you dont enjoy it then just take a break and post a note for no one to come knock on your door and try to have a normal day. A 'Please Don't Trick Or Treat' sign really annoys some kids. Thats abit of fun, right?

I dont hate any Holliday. I am dont like Halloween though. Maybe if I go to a Party its okay; otherwise, no

I've *never* gone trick or treating. Well, that I can remember.. D:

I found it pointless because I just ate the candy my parents had for all the other people when I was really young. XD
