    It's for kids , dressing up, and for shops to sell costumes and masks.
    And for kids to set off fireworks or make bonfires.
    I.m not sure I see the point of kids knocking on doors asking for sweets
    If you are over a certain age is meaningless.
    I just associate it with the noise of random bangers going off

    I like Halloween. It's just 1 day, there's no family dinner crap. Just carve a pumpkin, buy some sweets and watch **** movies.

    Decorate your house with Chinese made plastic shyte. Shop bought "decorations" were unheard of years ago.

    As a child and teenager I really enjoyed Halloween. Collecting for the bonfire, fireworks displays and trick or treating for hours. Now though it’s an absolute pain, I’ve a dog that loses her mind at the noise of fireworks which seem to start early September now. In our last house we had between 100 and 150 trick or treaters call. This house we only had about 30 which is grand. Obviously none this year

    I'm always suspicious of those who don't like Halloween.

    Depending on the orientation of the poster, 'their' first girlfriend could indeed be a Halloween moment.
    How very Halloween of you though #LesbianVampireNunsWithBigGuns
