discussion Why weren't people as hyped up for Halloween this year?

[pride4jc1222]

I noticed that, unlike in years past, barely anyone went trick-or-treating this year. Why is that?

[Plasticdoll]

Maybe we are just getting older? idk

[Calvin]

People were busy celebrating Diwali 

[Janet]

Election maybe? 

 

Hope people are realising these "holidays" are boring repetitive fads. Christmas next!

[Europe]

@Janet is on the money with the election.

But actually in my area people really went all out there were so many halloween parties concurrently going on. Big crowds.

Right? I went to a party last night and barely anyone bothered to get dressed up

Maybe it's because of the elections at least in the US

Israel is doing enough horror through out the year.

I'm still mentally in April dear

[Damien M]

There's an election next week. 

[AshleyLovescats887]

Everyone is busy streaming 'The Great Impersonator' i fear

[Acuminatus]

The real horror is going to come on Thanksgiving with all the family drama post the election 

[Lil' Oz]

Too many wars, too much international tension, the global economy is s**t, more and more people are depressed, etc. 

[Feanor]

They weren't?

 

It was huge here. Saw tons of kids in costumes roaming the streets and the Halloween parties were also filled.

[superben]

It's on a Thursday. It would smash if it were on Friday.

[Jude]

They wanna skip it coz they're excited for the Xmas spirit so they can blast and bop to Santa Tell Me.

[Torment]

Yeah it was the same here. Last year I ran out of candy to give out because there were so many kids. This year I've got so much candy leftover to eat  

[alexrex]

Real life is already Halloween 

[penguintim]

People wanted Halloween out of this way so they could get to Christmas and start streaming these classics again

 

[GentleEarthquake]

Everyone was busy waiting for Ethel Cain's new single

Many reasons....

 

Kids and teens are more preoccupied with smartphones and would rather stay home.

It's not safe and parents aren't always available to walk their kids around.

Candy doesn't appeal to kids like it used to.

Trunk or treat as completely sabotaged neighborhood trick or treating.

Parents are lazy and don't want to take their kids out.

THANK YOU!!!! Everyone's been horrified by that.

It was alive and well here in Vancouver. And my friend group goes all out.

 

I will say though that it rains on pretty much every Halloween though, so there's that.
