Besides if Nick wants candy, he just has to ask me.

Me and my big mouth.

I f***ing hate Halloween. It's only use is a predominance of low priced slutty fetish outfits for women.

Isn't that enough?

Anyway, I like Halloween. Harvesting the mistletoe, filling the bronze cauldron with enemies' blood, invoking the spirit of Samhain...

Dude.........slutty fetish outfits for women

My feelings for Halloween are similar to Mikey's. I will attempt to summon the spirit of Gozer again. Chick in bubbles are great.

Is that not a reason for it's existence on it's own?

Hello, have you met the DITL forum?
I can't believe Mark let this one get by him.

[Mark]

Thanks Mikey



Can I have some candy too, little girl?

[IanKennedy]

I have the same feelings on the matter as Tyyr does, hate it, besides the slutty outfits, all it's roots are demonic in nature... Just saying.

Well I would have to say it's human in nature, but that's another issue, and perhaps the same thing

No they're not. The earliest roots of Halloween that we know of are a Celtic harvest/seasonal festival known as Samhain, one of the four major seasonal holidays of the Celts (the others being Imbolc, Beltane, and Lughnassadh.) While Samhain did acheive some connotation as a festival of the dead, it was primarily to celebrate the harvest and the end of summer. Even with the other aspect it had, it was no more demonic or diabolic than Dia de la Muerte. The "evil" aspect was more than likely falsely ascribed to it by Catholic missionaries in an attempt to discredit preexisting pagan faiths.

In the era of Christianity, it is associated with All Soul's Day of the Roman Catholic Church and some Anglican practitioners, which is a day to help - through prayer and commemoration - those souls still in Purgatory attain beatific vision.

In modern times, certain elements have been merged with Halloween which are more closely related to Walpurgisnacht, which was an Eastern European tradition of a night in which the undead and the evil spirits were free to roam the earth (and which incidentally was the inspiration for Modest Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain.)

Yeah sure

[Reliant121]

Halloween. I hate Halloween. Just an excuse for teenagers to bumble around knocking on peoples doors. It's now prohibited in local shops to sell eggs and flour to under 18's because of the amount of people that have had eggings to their door. I cannot stand halloween.

[Tyyr]

Is that not a reason for it's existence on it's own?

If that was the extent of it, yes. Hell I'd advocate the sale of such outfits at all times.

There are shops

[Tyyr]

Yeah but they want good money for the costumes. At Halloween you can spend twenty bucks and get a good trampy french maid or nurse or schoolgirl outfit that if it gets torn or stained or lost who cares.

This is the part that I was mainly talking about... Which has been linked to the creation of the Halloween celebration

Along with Reliant's comment, which some may say is hypocritical of me, but it's not the knocking I hate, it's the afterward effects of refusing to give give stupid kids candy when you know it doesn't matter if you do or not, their still gonna f**k stuff up.
