@Kubu, with the current situation, we have no sense of humor left over here in the US.

Let me imagine being a neighbor with small children... "Mommy what is that???" "It's Halloween decorations." "Oh ok." And scene.

Exactly

Path of Totality -

Path of Totality easy

I still think decapitated heads are awesome--

I said "yeah" once and it put it on all the comments

Is it ok over there to have sex in front of your house?

Several over the top folks do not define America's version of Halloween. Blanket statements are not attractive or accurate.

It used to be that the people who handed out candy on Halloween weren't strangers; they were your neighbors. Of course those were the days when everyone knew their neighbors. The tradition has held on, even though the culture has changed.

Pagan characters? What pagan characters? Do you consider Harry Potter or Cinderella "pagan characters"? The children are usually accompanied by their parents, since they're walking around outside after dark, and the parents don't allow them to damage the neighbors' houses. The "trick" part of "trick or treat" was brought over from England with the settlers. And back in the day, grown-ups went out and tipped over people's outhouses for the "trick."

it's literally a pagan holiday

Most Halloween costumes aren't pagan characters, man.

My kids dressed up as a lady bug and a ballerina... And no one threatens people's houses. Where did you hear that crap?

For the same reason you can't urinate in the street, or walk around the neighbourhood naked. Because you live in a community and members of a community have a responsibility to uphold community values and not outrage public decency. What you do inside your own house is up to you but when it's visible to others it's a public display as it affects other people. I don't know about the US but there are public decency laws in the UK and I'm fairly certain most of these displays would be considered illegal.

One day a year? ONE DAY FOR CHILDREN TO HAVE FUN? Grown ups can go out every day or night so come on give the kids ONE day!

Yeah, genius, there’s a difference between a little kid wearing a sheet to be a ghost and someone constructing a realistic murder scene with multiple corpses or hanging three people who appear to be black.

no

You are wrong. The whole point of decorations on the outside of your house is to provide entertainment for the neighborhood. If you want to practice your "right" to have your own decorations, you should do it inside. Outdoor decorations aren't meant to deliver as much gore as possible. You can't get away with calling anyone who still has a sense of proportion "too scared or sensitive." What kind of things do you watch on a regular basis, if you are inured to this kind of display?

It was never part of Samhain to produce a Hollywood massacre or lynch party to scare off anyone at a time when the gates between worlds are open

It is healthy and normal to be disgusted and concerned by dead bodies and gruesome scenes depicting horrific deaths. Forcing your neighbors to look at repulsive and violent scenes every day to show off your sick fantasies is not ok, and never will be.

and that kids is why we don’t do christianity

Christian N/A easy

I don't think my friend Ray would find any humor in this.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1ebw1_10PI&t=3s
