It’s all bollocks, I hate it, when I was a kid you hardly noticed it, but thanks to the Americans everyone goes silly now.
It used to be just scary stuff as well, as in ghosts, ghouls, witches and things that go bump in the night etc but somehow all the slasher gory horror films have been brought into it, you see dickheads roaming the streets covered in fake blood and with a stupid floppy rubber axe attached to their heads!
Parents dragging their kids round the streets in the pitch black and freezing cold when all they want to do is be at home in the warm, they should be reported to childline

Couldn't agree more BM. We used to love Bonfire Night but that's dying a death now.

Not even sure if this is a horror movie, but The Wicker Man always terrified me because of how plausible it might be somewhere so remote.

I consider kids on Halloween nothing short of begging for sweets.

I could snider kids on Halloween nothing short of begging for sweets.

None of the parents who do it ever really look like they want to be doing it either, it’s just the done thing, look at me, super parent, taking my kids out trick or treating

I enjoyed ' long legs ' earlier this year.
also this year ' immaculate ' & apartment 7A (rosemarys baby prequel)
It follows is pretty good also and never get tired of watching The wicker man.
Devil rides out is dated good fun with a great cast.

I wouldn’t know, I’m a miserable old sod and don’t open the door……….although now you’ve said that I might have a peep through the blinds this year 🤣

It's for kids. My grandchildren enjoy it.

Grown ups get to dress up too, which we all know many secretly enjoy.

Family trees like a plate of spaghetti, just like Eastenders.

Boil up some brussel sprouts, cover in chocolate so they look like them expensive ones, can't remember the name. They won't be knocking on your door any time soon.😂
