I have only come to loathe Halloween because it has turned into a 6 week Halloween season. It is a day for CHILDREN but of course ADULTS have ruined it for them with thier predatory needs. Halloween should be just one day - last weekend I saw kids dressing up for parties - give it a break. People spend $100's for their front yard plastic Halloween scenes. Do they really understand the symbolism? And its not like the Mexican Day of the Dead which celebrates the ancestors.
BUt looking at the infantilization of our country, it makes sense.
