Death to Halloween

[Angelakillsluts]

I heard this women on the radio talking about how terrible Halloween is, and how it shouldn't be celebrated. :eek: How could someone think that? Her reason was that candy is bad for you, she kept refering to candy as "poison" and that Halloween is part of the reason kids are so out of shape. I listened as she berated every caller who called in defending Halloween, no pro- halloween answer was good enough for her.

How could you even put any of the blame on Halloween? One day of gluttony, against the other 364 of well... Gluttony. Did blaming television get boring? You have to attack Halloween now? Nobody could ever kill Halloween could they? Is it even possible to end such a celebration in say, north america? Trick or Treating becoming Illegal? :o (funny thought :p )

The point is, remember how fun trick or treating used to be? Whether you were with your parents or friends, it didn't matter. The nights seemed endless with sugary possibilities, the excitement of every house holding potential mars bars... Imagine never having that?

Not like you need to be trick or treating... I've already eaten a lot of Halloween candy, I think I ate less when I used to go out trick or treating. :p I call it halloween candy because it's candy that I don't feel bad about eating. It's like write-off candy under the guise of "halloween foods" I never eat candy but when Halloween comes around... I also love giving out candy, but not everybody is as lame as me.

How could anyone think Halloween is even expendable. I mean Christmas is the celebration of one dead person, shouldn't the all encompassing celebration of the dead (and candy, right?) be held in atleast the same regard?

I'm sure nobody is opposed to Halloween here, but is anybody maybe not so fond of Trick or Treating?

She was probably a fat woman with fat children or no children with no will power who didn't want to put the blame where it belongs for her fatness. It's HALLOWEEN's fault she can't put down the Sixlets. Want more butter on your ham? It's Halloween's fault.

Well I LOVE HALLOWEEN

and they can BITE MY TOOTSIE ROLL

if they don't like that!!!!!!!!!!


I handed out many rubber spiders today and I'm tremendously happy to do it! How often in the year can a person hand out rubber spiders? Ahhhh, the joys of the rubber spiders!

[knife_fight]

down here people do that stuff. they complain about how evil and bad and naughty Halloween is, when mostly it's just people having completely innocent fun.

but then Fat Tuesday and Joe Cain Day roll around, and everyone in the city is wasted and driving around playing bumper cars on the interstate, and no one complains at all!!!!

it seems a bit askew, if you ask me.

When I was a kid, my family did a little special something for the trick or treating festivities that went on in our neighborhood. I remember the first year they did it, because even though I knew all about it, it scared the hell out of me, and added to the mix of my love of horror...and of Halloween. My Uncle is an artist, and he made this beautiful, incredibly horrifying devil's head mask out of papermache. It was about two feet in height, and wide enough so that when worn, it sat on the shoulders of a grown man. He had wired it with red light, with a cord that ran down to the hand with a switch at the end, so that the wearer could secretly operate the lights. My uncle, my dad, and a couple of other men from our neighborhood would take turns wearing the head, being "The Devil".
When trick or treaters rang our bell, they would be escorted into our house, with records (I'm dating myself: it was the 70's!) in the background playing monstrous music of chains dragging, screams, growls, etc, all the way downstairs to our darkened basement - to meet The Devil! You'd get down there, and it would be pitch black, and you were told to just wait, silently. All you could hear was the music, and then suddenly, slowly out of the blackness, The Devil would appear. I don't know how they did it but they amplified the voice, and the devil would talk to you and come toward you. We'd all stand there until we could take no more, and just run, screaming with terror up the stairs. That first year, I was so hysterical that, running up my own basement stairs (I mean I'm the kid who's house this is happening in, and I'm frantic!), I fell, and slipped through the stairs, cutting myself and once again back in the Devil's lair. My mother ran to help me up, and I was just scrambling, not caring about the cuts or the blood,o r anything else other than getting the hell out of that basement!! It is such a cool memory -But really, when you think of it, inviting children into the house to meet the Prince of Darkness?? Wonder how that would go over today.... those 70's were pretty innocent..!

I love Halloween. I actually live in a town where they love Halloween so much that the mainstreet is shut down for a big bash that people come from all over the world to attend. I will stop by of course, but have other plans as well. One thing I will be doing is going to a friend's house, where every year they add to, and set up their yard like a graveyard for trick and treats. They even have a real coffin, with someone dressed like a corpse laying in it.

I don't remeber which thread, but someone wrote about Gearge Romero's house this year in Pittsburg, and that sounds amazing!

It's not really celebrated over here. But its slowly becoming popular the the kids. Some people are pretty anti it over here because they see it as a kind of Americanisation and then of course there's the religous fruitcakes that think its evil. I love it 'cause I can buy kooky monster/ghoul and vampire shit to have round the house. You don't really come across stuff like that much in NZ.

[Terrin_the_Vamp]

Candy is the dumbest reason I have heard so far. What about all of the other candy holidays? Easter, Christmas, and Valentine's Day. You know I read that every year over 2 billion candy canes are sold in America. So forget Halloween it needs to be death to Christmas and Candy Canes.

I don't understand why there are so many retards in the world that want to blame all of their problems on things that only touch the surface of the real problem. You want to know why there are so many obese youths in this country? Because people like that idiot on the radio are too damn lazy to do anything. They wake up in the morning and head to starbucks. That's right fatty scarf down a few more doughnuts instead of taking the time to eat a bowl of cereal and then go to work and blame all of the pounds you have gained on the innocence of Halloween. What an awful jackass...

[Haunted]

Chalk the diet fanatics up with the holy rollers on how much Halloween sucks. Now our kids can count on organic granola treats with their religious tracs.

When, oh when, are the aliens coming?




By the way, Angelakillsluts, it's good to see you back around.

[ThePhantom]

She is just another one of those people who want her 15min of fame. I bet she doesnt even know what the real meaning of Halloween is . Hell to me Halloween is the best time of the year at least i dont have to go out and buy like hundreds of dollars worth of toys like you do on christmas which i think is a useless Holiday anyways .

Candy doesn't make kids obese, depression makes kids obese, parental neglect makes kids obese and the fact that fast food is much cheaper than real food makes kids obese. And if Christians want to stop celebrating pagan festivals, they might want to start at Christmas where they arbitrarily traded a Winter Solstice festival for a day that wasn't actually the birth of Christ, or not have named the celebration of the resurrection after a pagan dawn goddess. And besides, pagans invented society and when watching vintage monster movies and eating tiny milky ways is a crime, then criminals will watch vintage monster movies and eat tiny milky ways because tiny milky ways trick us into believing we're eating less chocolate, so therefore we can retain our self esteem as we basically ingest the calorie content of a sack of big macs.

Someone needs to go up to this lady and smack her hard in the face,and scream at her...'what the hell is so lacking in your pathetic ,small minded ,evil little life that you have to go suck out the small joys we still have???'
Life is Screwed Up and Halloween is one of the things that make up for it...anybody try and take that away from me...try.:mad:

Despite how fashionable it is to dislike Christianity, Easter and Christmas are still viewed in a positive light.

[Fred Krueger]

Halloween's roots delve far deeper than candy, and to remove the celebration of Halloween because of candy would be irresponsible and a travesty to our history.

That's the American way in this new day and age. People in general seem to damn insecure to accept the fact it could be their fault they or their children are (fill in the blank) so they'll look to place the blame somewhere else, and lol@some of the crap excuses they come up with.

Yep, but those days have unfortuneately been replaced with "The Politically Correct"/sue happy society. I hate political correctness. Even if you try to please everyone, someone will eventually find something to bitch and whine about. :rolleyes:

lol@that. Since when do people who feel the need to talk a load of crap about something, do they actually need a valid reason? :D

lol@Halloween makes kids fat. It's advertising and the general notion that we need to consume more food than we really require. And besides, also lol@fat people bitiching about "McDonald's made me fat" when people order the "super size" and gourge themselves on fried food and they wonder why they're getting fat. It's just too easy today to simply pass the buck and blame someone else for their problems.

[stubbornforgey]

We get this type of thing every year abot some festive celebration or other.
Always a busy body who feels that having fun in some way ,shape or form is not good for you.
Not too long ago we had this woman complain about easter...how the traditional meaning of easter had been lost to the chocolates and candy..but she wasnt talking about the blibical sense..she was talking about 'how can we as adults let our children beleive that rabbits lay eggs...so ban the whole day ..OUTRIGHT!!.
hmmm
Some ppl need a life and soon.. me thinks,

[novakru]

It's a shame that people like this have a voice.
It makes it hard for people who have legitimate things that are wrong and need to have some sort of change for the better...but because of boneheads like this...they have no empathy,it's just another brick in the whiney wall.

Morons rule...survivial of the fittest?
Give me a break.

I did hear some good news to counter balance this particular bozo.
There is a 25 bed facility opening up for the mentally ill homeless,with a 120 bed facility planned for NEXT YEAR and this is only after asking once!! for the money to acquire it!!

Yeaaa!

[gorefreak]

lol Just like I said in my last post.... people that talk shit don't need to have a legitimate point. :) I just wish people like that would just shut the hell up and keep their far fetched ramblings to themselves. Like I said, we need to ditch this political correctness garbage. It just gives people an excuse to whine bitch, or even nitpick. I hate nitpicking, it's nothing more than a piss poor excuse for an excuse to complain about something. lol@morons rule.... too bad people who call the news or radio shows with garbage like this aren't messed with and made to be the laughing stock of the audience. :D

[filmmaker2]

Yeah......I hate people that complain....they suck ;)

[novakru]

I love to complain about people that complain.
And I hate people that hate.:D

[filmmaker2]

That's it! We achieved it! The anger has fed back on itself and now is an unstoppable, pissed off perpetual motion machine! We should take it and use it now. And if anyone asks us "Why?" we can say,

"NO REASON...I JUST LIKE DOING THINGS LIKE THAT"

[beerbatbadger]

OMG. her panties r so in a bunch. Halloween is so wholesome. I've just been sitting at my desk playing a halloween crossword. How much more wholesome can u get. www.creepycrossword.com

[Haunted]

I love to complain about complaining. It's better than a colonic.:D

[Hulkster92]

I have a few things to say...

1. No one can stop Halloween

2. She probably is fat with fat kids

3. She's probably one of those who don't
even let her kids do things even associated with Halloween

4. She probably has nothing else to do

5. If she doesn't like it, don't celebrate it.

[Mickey Jay]

There have been rumours circulating in LA all day that Holly King - the
dizzy blonde chick from BB5 has been beheaded on a guillotine in the
grounds of Greystone (Bev. Hills) in a halloween stunt for TV that has
gone seriously wrong. I was talking with an English girl who works the bar in Red Rock
on Sunset and she said some cops came in and said it was true - but
she didn't know who Holly King was.

- Further to this - a whole bunch of guys were talking about it on Friday night. One press guy said they were all over it but can't release anything right now because of legal reasons.

It should be in the media real soon though
