as a former little kid I can confirm, yes

I haven't been a little kid for (mumble mumble) years, but it's still sickening and even more so that they think it's fun or ok or whatever the hell they're thinking.

I'm thirteen and I hate when I go by houses that have this kind of decoration. Halloween should be for smaller kids and if the older ones feel the need to dress up they can, but it shouldn't be for us.

I was lucky that my mom always made a point of showing me how fake all the Halloween stuff at the store was. Initially I was freaked out by most of it since I was still a toddler, but by the time I was like 5 I was immune to Halloween decorations. I really hope more people do this with their children

To be honest it doesn't matter when the world is about as f****d up as that, including their own parents. They already have something to cry about and be scared of. No matter where you go they gonna see stuff like that on TV fake or not. Its 2021 just even walking out side or scrolling on the internet or watching TV is just enough to scare a kid and make them mental, and depressed.

My kid is afraid of lazers and alarms(he got really freaked out by the fire alarm and still mimics the noise two years later). God forbid he saw something like this I would need years of therapy for the kid.

Good time to teach them not be scared, honestly

I agree with you on the first part. Other kids are just wimps.

Can confirm this is the best way to teach small kids not to be scared of Halloween and anything else spooky. If your poor kid is genuinely terrified on Halloween every year, that's something you should help them with. It's not fair, but it's unrealistic to hope you won't run into things like this trick-o-treating and whatnot, plus the younger they are when they learn it's all fake, the more they can enjoy things like haunted houses

You can change the channel. This is up in the neighborhood— a HUGE difference

Yes but on TV you can choose not to watch...

But you don't make every body in the neighborhood watch the same channel.

@Elaine... now wouldn't *that* be torture?? (Lol)

Nobody is saying he doesn't have the "right" to decorate the way he wants. Of course he does. But just because a person has the *right* to do something doesn't mean he should. The impaled kid is what crossed the line for me.

True but is it tasteful? Isn’t it everyones right also to not see this if they walk on the street? I’m sure they have a back yard too?

So by your logic, you would be just fine if your neighbors flew Nazi flags?

Really? That’s a pretty selfish attitude don’t you think?

I don't know about you man, but I believe that humans should have the right to walk out of their homes and not see revoltingly realistic scenes of gore and death whether they're children or not.

What if your closet loved one was murdered? What if you got in a house fire? How would you feel if you saw houses like this and your scarring, horrifying memories that you did your best to bury deep down were brought to the surface? This isn't just about kids, this is about real, living, breathing people of all ages who have been involved against their wishes in this kind of stuff and will never be the same again.

Yes

I agree with YOU, and most kids would love it.

I would like to say Kelly that it takes time to set things up, so they might look at it for a whole month, not including the time to take it down.

You don't have to. Only for one night.

Why are you acting like everyone is having a meltdown? Nobody is losing their minds or demanding that this person take down their decorations. People are simply commenting about how they'd feel if they had small children or saying they think it's too much. You came here with a weird overly defensive tirade for whatever reason. Some people don't like these decorations. Why does that piss you off?

i know, it's not year round, it's just one day. just chill. if you're that scared about your kids being traumatized just don't let them outside. not his fault you don't have a sense of humor.

Cute and Halloween didn't exist until the 1970s. Look up the pictures.

They don't exist.

Little kids would be scared by this

What so anyone who has a valid concern that isn't your concern is a "Karen"? I don't get your Karen definition then.
