I don't think much of Halloween anymore. I don't care if it is banned. I think its ridiculous. First, candy is not good for anyone. Second, adults are sometimes dressing up and knocking on doors and that is pretty scary because they could be there to rob you. Let's egg her house! That would be breaking the law. I would have you all arrested. Then I would sue you for damages and make you clean it up and paint my house. Its all ridiculous pranks. Destruction of property. (Rings her doorbell and runs) I have you on video. (sicks her dog on trespasser.) That's why you guys need real good costumes to wear and a pork chop for the dog. Don't make me get out the bear traps. oh oh, she means business guys. RUN!!!!

It's pathetic. It's just Halloween. It's not harming anyone. What will they ban next? Christmas? It's getting ridiculous. I have to concur,, kids have so little to celebrate together anymore,, let them keep the dress up day,,,,

I am never home for Halloween and just as well as kids here usually just go to community centers or the mall. Too cold most times for them anyways.

Once I dressed up real scary for Halloween as the Angel of death and the costume was so scary it frightened me when I went past a mirror. The death face was very realistic and I had long flowing black robes. I was wearing this costume when a tiny child about three years old, maybe younger came up to the door, encouraged by her mother who was behind her telling her to go get some candy. It was her very first house. She did trust her mother, but she was terrified when she saw me. Her mother started laughing, and came up to comfort the child. She said this was her very first house. That child was so cute. She had these great big eyes and they were full of fear but she still came forward for her candy. She will probably remember that for the rest of her life.

Watch the word "freedom" mean less and less. The day Barry took office freedom because a thing of the past! I've always associated "anti Halloween" campaigns with the "Religious Right" and Evangelicals etc...I've heard them say that the devil and demons are tied to the celebration of Halloween at times.

Yes this is also true. I live in a Bible belt where having a statue of a dragon in your house or a pentacle around your neck is considered evil and you are working with the devil. There is an active group here trying to get Halloween banned. I think they are baptists.

It's a pity that people feel they have to control others to fulfil some form of cultural cringe borne of self-loathing.

I once played a clown at a community Haunted House; they had to call the EMT's twice. Some people wanted to fire me, others thought I was great.

I have to concur,, kids have so little to celebrate together anymore,, let them keep the dress up day,,,, I agree. School parties are just as necessary to kids as recess is. People need to just lighten the F up.
