This irritates me to no end. When I was a kid, for me and my friends would look forward to Halloween for at least a month prior. Everyone would compete to have the scariest costume, see who could get the most candy, etc... When I was a little older, the haunted houses became a big part of it too.
Nowadays, there are none in my area. There's a lot of religious-themed nonsense that strategically avoids the use of the word "Halloween." The costumes now are wimpy. For a lark, I checked out the costumes at WalMart the other day, and they were all stuff like clowns and cats. Any one of us would have been beaten up if we had dressed up as a cat. It's so sad. Today's kids are getting shafted.
