I really hate the gross, scary and disgusting stuff for Halloween. Please! no more kitty litter cake, zombie anything, rodents, blood and gore etc.
give me hobos, princesses, and ghosts. Candy apples, popcorn balls and candy corn (although I don’t eat any of those things).
Please stop trying to be the grossest thing around or make the grossest consumable.
I fully recognize I am probably the only one who feels this way.
And… this year Halloween rolled out in mid-August. Not a little. Full-out aisle-clogging candy skyscrapers and more, in summer. I guess they still can’t figure out a good way to merchandise H’ween, so extending it to three months and selling probably twice as much overpriced candy is their klever solushun.
But I’ll take that over… Everything Fuggin’ Pink Month. Here it is again, and breast cancer is running scared, I tell ya. (You’ve heard of breast cancer, right? Maybe not, since we need a month of BREAST CANCER AWARENESS! every year to fill in the ignorance gap.)
ETA: But yeah, I’d go for a more innocent and “friendly” Halloween - you know, for kids! - than the Wes Craven one.
I’m with you. Halloween is the worst day. A “holiday” about death? Yuk.
yeah, I never really thought about it much but now that you point that out…
I love Halloween, but hate the blood and gore that’s become associated with it in recent years.
I hear that. I’m so over sexy drunken Halloween.
… hobos?
Hey, I won TWO costume contests as a hobo!
When, uh, LBJ was prez…
But I second the “drunken sexy slut” moratorium. CFM outfits in little-kid sizes is just sick on so many levels.
I hate all the rushing the holidays bullshit.
Bad enough when the Christmas stuff starts in September, now the Halloween stuff starts in August.
Why does everybody want to rush everything? Then they rush onto the next thing.
I have one friend who started the countdown to Halloween in August and I have come damn close to blocking her on FB. By the time the actual holiday comes around I’m already sick of it. Anticipation used to be part of the fun, now we’re saturated before it gets here.
What ever happened to living in the moment and stopping to smell the roses?
I agree slutty costumes for kids is just gross, on so many levels.
Now get off my lawn!
and take your damn ghosts, witches, reindeer, and candy canes (and that pukie candy corn) with you
It’s not about death, silly, it’s about the dead! Death is a process, dead is a state of (not) being.
We never get trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood, haven’t had a single one in the last 10 years. I still buy candy, though. You know, just in case. And I make sure it’s my favorite.
Cue Ministry “Everyday is Halloween!”
That will be in my head all day now. Which is fine by me.
Now you’ve done it.
I can’t get that tune out of my head now either. 
I love Halloween (and refuse to do “sexy” costumes), but I’m with you on the grossness of kitty litter cake. I have 3 cats, and, ugh, no. Never.
Benny Hill ripped this off from someone:
No birds, no bees
No leaves on the trees
No wonder
