It's Spooky MONTH!!!

Absolutely not. It is time to start Yule. First frozen hams are being sold so I need to pick up one.

Modern Halloween was created "for companies looking to make money from the event."

I'm going pumpkin picking and then carving with my wife. Not sure if these will be the edible kind, but if they are I will also make a pumpkin soup and cookies. I'm also planning to play a little bit of Resident Evil 2 remake on the steam deck and I might rewatch Gremlins, Hellraiser and Witches of Eastwick

My kid is still younger, and we're going to make a costume. The neighborhood usually has great pumpkins carved on Halloween, and we usually try to carve one each. I try to find something to hand out, and this year someone got rid of a whole bag of smaller dinosaur toys, which are perfect for handouts. One year was old buttons from video game conventions, it was fun to watch people choose.

We sometimes buy pumpkins to bake with tasty filling, like ground meat and rice or such. We do a pie next month.

Never celebrated, or at least not in a way i think that was normal. I do like h'ween, probably the yearly event i like the most, at least the more popular ones.

The issue i have with this event is some stupid young people take opportunity to cause problems to people just trying to live their lives. The typical prank we get is toilet paper put on cars and doors if you do not open the door (my parents hate this event, sometimes they even start yelling at kids, i do not open the door because i'm usually away or in my corner minding my own business). We've had years were some of the pranks were a bit too extreme, like throwing eggs/rotten eggs on cars, doors, gates, windows, imagine having to go to work the next day and having to deal with this stuff in the morning.

I even picture situations like this but being done with elderly people, this kind of behaviour is unjustified, it's like we have to deal with the lack of discipline displayed by newer generations. Back in my day, we wouldn't celebrate it in the typical way, we would simply go out as a group and try to hunt other groups and scare them to death, of course there were idiots present back then that would abuse and break stuff, but the stuff people would break back then, it wasn't other peoples properties but more so stuff from public areas, like containers, street signs and the likes.

I don't celebrate it, have done it once, back in 2019. I dressed like a Gorilla in a Suit. Gave a few frights to some people. Never done it ever since. It was fun, but not something I see myself doing at my age.

It's not really a thing here, so no.

enjoy the hallmark festival

Of course we celebrate Halloween. It's the BEST holiday!

In here it's just an excuse for the bars and similar to do a thematic party, and I don't drink, so no I won't be celebrating it. All I really plan to do is maybe play a horror game this month and watch all of the halloween specials that youtubers like to do every year.

Our neighbor has an inflatable Scooby Doo setup in his yard. My two year old son makes us walk to his house every day to go see Scooby Doo. My son has never seen an episode of Scooby Doo and has no idea who Scooby Doo is, but now we play the Scooby Doo theme song for him a few times each week and check out every Juvenile Easy-level Scooby Doo book from the local library so that he can get more Scooby Doo into his life. He is obsessed with Scooby Doo thanks to Halloween decorations.
