BUT... BUT... BUT THE LEFTIST MOB AND ANTIFA ARE COMING TO CARAVAN MY TERRORISTS WITH GUNS! THE ONLY WAY I CAN FEEL SAFE AGAIN IS BY GIVING UP A BUNCH OF PRIVACY AND CORE CIVIL LIBERTIES TO OLD WEALTHY WHITE GUYS SO THEY CAN MAKE MORE MONEY!

The funny thing is, the effort, at any level, belies the entire “too cool" premise!

This entire article reads as “Hey you’re having fun and I don’t like it! You’re an asshole!”
I mean, seriously... fuck you.
And I need to point out, that sentiment is expressly reserved for you for this article. I have coworkers who don’t like Halloween and I’ve never said that to them. Why? Because they don’t try to…

Counterpoint: Halloween is fun and fun is good.

Counterpoint: only people who have sticks up their asses age-police Halloween.

Samesies. I basically live every day as a holiday, as I try to cultivate my sense of ethical/humanistic hedonism.

We’re doing a ghost tour at the Fox Theater here in Atlanta then going out for delicious sushi.

I wasn’t big into Halloween as a kid either. I’m still not, but I do appreciate costuming and cosplay and paganism so I’m cool with it. I’ll take Halloween over a Jesus-y or faux-patriotic holiday any day.

No: only in (actual) death will we know peace; I slowly realized in genuine horror that real-ass adults, with kids and mortgages and cars, still debase themselves for this shit.

People like what they like, whatever, you don’t have to be into Halloween. But where I live (New Orleans) people create incredible costumes and so you can’t convince me that part of it is stupid. Costumes can be stupid themselves, but costuming is not stupid. It can be really creative and fun. Just because y’all…

The opposite happened to me; I was never a big Halloween person as a kid, but have started to enjoy it more as I got older. The key to me is to always choose house parties with friends over bars. Spending Halloween at a bar is more often than not a lousy experience; spending Halloween in a dorky costume watching The…

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. There aren’t the overwhelming obligations, expectations and family drama that come with Christmas and Thanksgiving. The candy is on par with Easter, but the holiday itself is nowhere near as formal and stuffy. There’s way less sweating and bug bites than 4th of July, Memorial…

Look, just because your dad made Halloween a nightmare for you growing up on Elm Street, that doesn’t mean you can’t move on and start enjoying the holiday again.

This scene is the BEST.

i too hate halloween. even as a kid i found trick or treating to be boring and uneventful and WAY too much walking. my mom says she only remembers me going a few times and only when i was at my aunt & uncle’s because they were babysitting me.

Katherine you're supposed to dress up as something you’re NOT on Halloween. "Pretentious blogger who thinks people care about their absurdly shallow, pointless edgelord takes on things well-adjusted adults enjoy" is just who you are, deep in your heart.

Someone should try joyless blogger next.

Disagree. New Years is the sucky event... waiting around for the tick of a clock and then, done. Halloween is a great escape that lasts until reality needs to set back in.

You must be fun at parties.
