I hate

I fucking hate halloween, it annoys me intensely. Especially when adults get giddy about dressing up for it.

If it was genuinely a festival about all things spooky and had some kind of cultural backdrop (beyond some vague, obfuscated pagan guff) then I could possibly get along with it, but all I see is plastic pumpkins and other orange commercial shite.

I concur and it really pisses off my gf that I'm a moody cunt about some innocent 'holiday'. What annoys me most is the waste; plastic tatt that is thrown out a week later and bought again the following year, sweet packaging and the millions of pumpkins that are simply cut up, tasty flesh thrown away. Think about the resources required to grow and transport all of those for the sake of sticking them on your doorstep for one evening. This novelty holiday needs to fuck off.

Yes! The chortlesome "spooky" twitter handles can get fucked too.

I have friends who really go for it in a big way. Every year they out-do last year's supremely involved (and always subtly sexy/flattering) spooky costumes complete with six-hours in make-up and pro quality photography. I can't help thinking the whole shebang, which they will claim is staged for the benefit of the kids, is an elaborate excuse to show-off their attractiveness, their quirky creativity and above all the fact that they have attained the kind of lifestyle nirvana that allows the money and time to indulge in such committed whimsy.

mrs hell is a septic and she bloody loves a bit of halloween. most years we throw a party, richie rocks up drunk and plays krautrock, there's a girl crying in a corner by at least 9pm, the two not necessarily unrelated, fun times!

it's far more enjoyable than that jewish fella nailed to a tree nonsense.

none this year because house selling antics.

Since I've now got two nippers I have to get involved and they love it but fuck me...few years ago we used to have a small box of 'plastic spider/witch/pumpkin' shite but over the years, the small box has now become 3 large IKEA storage containers taking up valuable space in our loft

Also it seems to start in September these days.

One purpose it has though, is to act as a buffer to prevent the ever autumn-wards Christmas creep

Grumpy cunts.

Spooky cat is spooky. (Not at all spooky)

I did a ninja tune pumpkin once. It looked shit.

I was considering trying for an Eddie pumpkin this year, then I found a stencil for an Eddie Van Halen one. Now I can't decide.

Van Morrison?

Maybe I like Halloween really. Maybe it's just my friends I hate.

What the fuck is Halloween for or about? If you're not a kid I mean. Genuine question.

The sexy costumes really baffle me (sexy nurse, sexy vampire etc). Seems like an excuse to get your cleavage out for people who are too repressed to do it on any other day of the year. Society is weird sometimes.

The ironing

Mrs hell ♥️ts dis.

We were on holiday in Mallorca. Every shop had this shit on playlist. Smooth jazz cover versions of Ace of Spades etc etc. Ersatz noise pollution.

I could never make my mind up about this one. Kind of like it, kind of don’t.

This so much.

Why my neighbours, who don't say hello on the street, expect me to give out free sweets to their offspring is beyond me.

I just go to the pub for the night nowadays.
