I think I may be in the minority here, I have absolutely no interest in Halloween. I never have. To me when I was growing up, it was nothing and meant nothing. Trick-or-treating never existed - at least as far as I was aware. It certainly wasn’t anything to do with dressing up and going around making threats for sweets and chocolate at people’s doors. It’s just an overblown and commercialised non-event.

Halloween was very simple when I was a kid - dunking for apples, toffee apples and a large turnip (swede) scraped out, eyes / nose / mouth holes cut and a candle stuck inside. My hair got wet and cold, the burning turnip stank rotten but at least I got a toffee apple.
The best move I made, while in London, was to move into a top floor flat in a gated road. Two levels of obstacle to stop the greedy children annoying me and demanding sweets. Such as joy after being hounded all evening in the house we had previously.

Evidence about the American sense of humour. Sorry, humor.

I am using this picture as my Wallpaper :jack_o_lantern: on my laptop & desktop :ghost:

This appears to be a man watching a woman who is in the throws of something quite personal. That is quite a spin on all saints day - voyeurism. But true, it is still scary, even disturbing, so maybe that does fit quite well after all.

I thought it was from the film Halloween with Jamie Lee Curtis. I can’t believe how many sequels that film has had.

This is my memory of childhood Halloween. It always merged into Guy Fawkes. The worst thing these days is fake cobweb everywhere. It really confuses the wildlife.

We walked passed a witch figure today,which actually moved and cackled and screamed threats at us.Luckily it was secured to the gate post which foiled the dog’s attempt to pull it down and chew it to bits.

Chief Industry Affairs Officers Fleur Brown said the average spend was set to rise to $103 per person, an 11 per cent rise on 2024.

That’s a $103 I’ll be saving then.

I remember Halloween being a non-event when we were kids. Just a word in small print written in a diary.
