it's me again....
what can i say about Halloween? It's a pretty cool holiday, not my favorite, but pretty cool. There are a few things i don't like about it though..Don't call me a party-pooper, but i think Halloween gives little kids the wrong ideas. I mean, they get traumatized by some mask or movie. They think it's ok to almost give someone a heart attack or something. Then, the older kids, usually teens, play pranks on people and sometimes they get hurt. I mean, they can be fun, but still, sometimes the joke's on you.....
Halloween also stereotypes different types of people. Like this year, I saw a plumber costume at Wal-Mart, showing a very gross backside (you know, hairy and with "that" showing....ew) Also, witches. I'm gonna go history geek for a sec and say that innocent people were killed because of being accused as witches (Salem witchcraft trials circa 1692). I feel like this gives people the wrong ideas about stuff. Then, Hollywood comes up with the idea of a doll that murders people (Chucky), alien creatures that take over the world (Gremlins, Independence Day, etc), and other gruesome things.
Oh well, the holiday can be fun, but it just depends on how you celebrate it.
