Successful decorations are those that make you stop in your tracks and do a double take. Whether it’s a giant dragon, a massive guillotine, or a ‘body’ trapped underneath a garage door, we can’t help ourselves being fascinated by what’s gory and unexpected. We just wish we thought of some of these ourselves.

Bored Panda talked to Halloween expert Bannatyne about what her interpretation of the holiday is: whether it’s gritty and dark owing to its history, or something else entirely.

“Halloween’s never been dark for me. If anything, Halloween has always brought a little light to the darkness,” Bannatyne proclaimed.

“We impersonate the things we’re scared of or try to meet them face to face in a haunted attraction or cornfield. I heard Joe Hill once talk about his horror writing, saying: ‘You kick the darkness until it bleeds light.’ That’s how I think of Halloween,” she explained.

Bannatyne went into detail about the essence of what Halloween is all about: “At its core, Halloween was a warning.

“Two thousand years ago, people in northwestern Europe gathered together, brought their animals to shelter, and prepared for the deathly, dangerous season of cold and dark.

“Today, in parts of the country [the United States] that have a cold season, Halloween’s the last outdoor hurrah, a big blast of fun, like opening the fireplugs one last time before we go back inside and wait for spring.”

POST

Dynein 5 years ago

The problem is, Halloween doesn't prevent people from dying. This would look real to someone passing by at some distance, and if it was real, they SHOULD call 911. You don't want a boy-who-cried-wolf situation where it could cost lives - so please, add a little something that makes clear it's not real.

My father came home from work with a manikin arm. We left it out for a while to "season" in the Wisconsin weather. The following Halloween he planted it in the front yard. It was greenish in color and scared half the neighborhood kids away. The other half were scared by the speaker he hid under the leaves with the heart beat sound effect on a loop. The jumping leaves were freaky.
