Seriously, fuck Halloween.
Every year I get to this point and remember I hate October/November and everything about them.
-It's starting to get cold on a daily basis and it feels like the sun never comes out.
-It's raining and/or snowing every other day but it's just wet... there's never enough snow to actually stay there and make it brighter in the dark and turn the constantly terrible temperature to something nicer like in December/January.
-It's starting that cycle where it's dark when I wake up and when I get home... but as mentioned earlier there's no snow there to brighten the world up so it's literally just dark.
-Overall, it just sucks the energy out of me and makes everything seem shittier.
And what do we have in the middle of this awful period of the year? Halloween.
When the whole world feels like it's slowly getting worse in every possible way, you throw in a celebration of horror. I guess it makes sense, but I still hate it. But for me, it's just the last straw really. As a kid you get to go outside in the terrible weather and go house to house begging for candy; not bad. But as an adult there's no upside. I mean, there are the parties where chicks dress up as slutty versions of everything but I'm not much of a party guy and I'm getting older and bored of that crap.
Halloween is just there to remind you that you still have at least 1 more month of horrible weather to go before things stabilize.
Everyone seems to have that 1 movie they love to watch every Halloween.
"Oh yeah I watch the original Halloween every year! Awesome!"
Me? I watch Home Alone or A Nightmare Before Christmas (usually both). Nothing better than a funny and cheerful movie when everything outside is terrible. I'm not one of those people that celebrate Christmas months in advance. Heck, I barely even celebrate it as it is. I don't decorate or buy gifts (too poor). All I do at Christmas is meet my family for a couple of days repeating the same conversations we had the year before because they always ask me the same questions.
I don't watch/listen to Christmas movies/songs to get in the holiday spirit... except on Halloween.
Halloween should be moved to June or something. Nothing really happens in June; it has nice weather at least. We could enjoy the holiday more than having it in the most depressing part of the year.
But as it is, Halloween is pretty much the worst day of the year, in the worst possible spot in the calendar.
Can't wait for December.
P.S : Ever realized how nothing amazing ever happened to you in November? You know it's true. Terrible weather brings about terrible times.

Move to a country where they don't celebrate it.

I love Winter. It's my favorite season by miles, much more fun than Summer. But Autumn?
I feel like going into a 2-3 month coma every year.

I live in Canada.
I like winter.

My birthday is on October 31st.
People seem to lose their minds on Halloween for some reason and it's really, really annoying.

The hell? I've got a November birthday and it's a great time of the year for a birthday.
Weather kinda sucks though; odd that yesterday was the first snow in October since the 70's in this area.

Ugh this sucks so much, I hate how the only time it's sunny outside is the time we have to be stuck inside :/

Seconded.
Though judging from the overall pessimism in the Skyrim thread to most people it is probably the worst blight to ever be cast upon mankind.

I don't remember the last time Vancouver Island was at -40 degrees C.
I don't see how you can possibly call +0 degrees cold.
On a related note Fuck Manitoba

I'll probably play Skyrim but it's not an amazing thing for me... just not my type of game.
I'm holding out for Diablo 3.

But...why? I don't understand you. I like hot weather (although not the incredibly humid one we have here) and I like cold weather. But when it's switching and everything is just wet... I can't stand it.

Amazing things happen to me in November. 
Like my birthday.
And turkey.
And Christmas tree hunting.
|
On the whole birthday thing, since people are bringing them up, I don't really consider them too special.
I haven't celebrated my own birthday since I was like 14... it's just another day in December for me. Heck, last year I actually forgot it was my birthday until the next day and I was like "Oh, I'm 23 now."
But yeah obviously the nothing special in November thing was a joke... it's still the worst month of the year for me, every single year.
|
WELL CLEARLY YOUR BIRTHDAY WOULD BE MORE AMAZING WITH CAKE.
No seriously, it's your own fault if you don't have a good time in November. You could get hot-chocolate with big fat marshmallows and sit inside and play starcraft if you don't want to go out. :D

Black Friday !!! :D

Why not be a ghost and go to a halloween party?
Dress up in a black stealth suit, wear night vision goggles, and carry an overpowered sniper rifle. I promise you that you will scare everyone you come across that has even heard about Starcraft 2.

I just read the first line, and I totally agree with you.

No mention of the stupid destructive shit people do? I can live with Halloween when it's just orange decorations and some candy. But when my car or property gets attacked I want to stab my head...

It's not really something I've ever lived. I live in an apartment and I don't own anything outside of said area.
The only thing that's ever happened, at my parent's house when I was younger, someone threw some yogurt on a window...not really a big deal.

Meh the weather's been weird lately. I felt like last week I was still wearing flip flops and now it's snowing >.> it's the time of year when I'm done showering I'm freezing cold.
Halloween is only good for candy! Free candy at that. And November? Gives me an excuse to stuff my face guilt-free :D
|
I hate Halloween too, IMO it's the most pointless holiday.
|
u do know that halloween is techincally All Saints Day Eve... LOL

To me your story isn't so much about how depressing Halloween is but how depressing growing old is.
I remember looooong time ago, I went trick or treating in an upper middle class neighborhood (small town in Massachussetts). All the houses were extremely generous, I got a lot of good candy (e.g. full-sized chocolate bars). Then there was this one house. No decorations, dim lights. When we knocked on the door an old lady came out. She stepped out quickly, gave everyone a single small-sized tootsie roll, and closed the door behind her.
At the time I thought she was just a cheep assed old lady who hated kids and probably had 15 cats in the house. But now I kind of understand. People change perspectives and have different priorities as they grow older. Maybe she was on the last of her retirement funds. Maybe when she was younger she gave out a lot of candy, but as time went on and her bank account dwindled she gave out less and less, until that year we knocked on her door.
For some reason my mind lumped you in along with that old lady. Halloween is a kid's holiday, and I'm all right with that, even if I'm too old to trick or treat. Don't think too hard about it, you'll just get gray hairs faster if you do.

until I have a wife and babies, the most important part of halloween to me will be that girls dress in slutty costumes.

It drains all your energy. You get up, it's pitch black. You come home, it's pitch black. Goes on for 6 months.

lol. Sounds like you'r life is just depressing. Maybe it's where you live, because here in TX it's not really cold, never snows, the suns still out, and Halloween is just something you can trick or treat, you can, go to parties, and you can dress in ridiculous costumes without no one caring but you don't have to if you don't want to.
I think you just need to move sounds like you'r life in Canada isn't all that anyways, try something warm
I love Halloween though for all the reasons i named up there, getting to do all these things and not having to feel like a moron for doing them is great. And a lot of people enjoy meeting up in costumes and get drunk and do stupid things. Christmas just gets more and more sad every year because it seems like you'r getting shittier stuff every year but you'r actually getting the same thing except without the toys ( you know the socks/shirts/sweaters/underwear). Happy Halloween though I hope something good happens to every one here

Dude sweater weather is the tits.
Get some boots, a plaid jacket and some balls and go rake.
Bring a girl, dress her up in something sexy (you can call it a costume) then fuck her in your pile of leaves.
|
I don't mind it so much cause I go see my relatives at the start of the night due to other smaller children so its a good way to go and see people. But I hate kids lol luckily my house looks creepy and you can't see the door from the sidewalk so people normally don't come up.
I agree about the time of the year though... so miserable lol
|
Halloween really is stupid.
Instead of going out and getting drunk, people dress up then go out and get drunk. Really, what's the point in that? Instead of just drinking, now I have to be in bulky/hot/unconforable clothing while I do it? During college I used to just put on a pair of aviator sun glasses and a fedora and say that I'd dressed up as a cool version of myself, that seemed to solve the issue partly. Idk, maybe I'm just a party pooper.
But even when I was young I never found Halloween stuff scary. Terrorism, oil spills, government debt; now that's scary shit. You want to have a celebration of fear? Let's have "Stockpile of Thermo Nuclear ICBMs" day.

Ugh, another reason to dislike Halloween. Somewhere the original idea of dressing up was transformed into dressing down. I'm sorry, a short skirt and cat ears does NOT MAKE A COSTUME. Why don't we just make the night into 'all slut's eve' and be dispense with the whole facade.

Didn't celebrate it in Singapore.
There's parties and such in the US, hooray, but mainly I have exams to prepare for.
|
I like halloween, though the weather this year is kind of shitty. Its the too cold for a sweater but too warm for a coat weather, awful. But seeing girls dress as slutty as they can is never a bad thing.
|
Honestly I love this time of year. Birthday, good concerts, Great weather (I live in Chicago). I love everything about this time of year.
|
I only like Halloween cuz of the candy and its the best day to drink imo.(every other day of the year included)
