so uh, h-hi /b/
did you notice less people trick-or-treating this year, or have you noticed a steady decline over the last few years?
Just curious because we had very few visitors this year and I saw almost no one in the street on my way home from work.
picture unrelated(?)
>>710120525
I agree with you.
MONDAY....
yeah about 1/100th of the people in my area dressed up compared to 10 years ago
people don't feel safe doing it anymore, I guess. I stopped doing it years ago myself, though only because I don't much care for excessive amounts of candy and I don't much care for costumes either.
>>710120525
I also noticed this and was talking about it with my wife last night. I took my kid out and the streets were not quite as crowded as I remember them even when I was a teen. we even bought shit tons of candy and only like half were given out, I'd say less than 100 visitors in a big neighborhood overall with plenty of kids as we live near a school. wtf happened? what's wrong with kids now? why so afraid and lame?
>>710120600
Yeah you're definitely right. I work 7 days a week so I forget the relevance individual days have for most.
I've been seeing a decline in festivities for probably the last decade, though. Halloween was/is my favorite holiday, and it would be a shame to see a permanent decline.
>>710120525

Even just to get out of the house in a mask with your friends is fun, ｆｒｅｅ ｆｕｃｋｉｎｇ ｃａｎｄｙis just a huge bonus.
They're really missing out on being fucking asshole teens egging houses, that shit was so cash.
>>710120525
I've noticed in my town that people only go to the nice neighborhoods (300+ housing)
>>710120525
I saw a huge turnout in my home town the streets were cramped with kids and their parents. I agree it has been declining but this year's Halloween was a good turn out
>>710121158
Everyone knows you go to the rich neighborhoods. They give out better candy.
.
>>710120525
We had 700 - 750 kids trick or treat. Including 2 different hay rides that circle the neighborhood.
Would be interesting in seeing nation wide numbers. All our experiences are meaningless, because they represent really small sample sizes.
I've moved since last halloween but only saw a family dressed up as I was pulling into my car park. They just stood there looking at my indicator so I guess people are getting dumber?
>>710120525
Good. Like we should be teaching kids that it's acceptable to demand gibs or retaliate.
It's a nigger-tier holiday.
I took my son trick or treating in the same neighborhood I always do. Less and less people are doing Halloween and only saw about 3 decorated houses. They're pushing Christmas earlier this year because that is what makes stores the most money.
>>710120525
I saw very few as of like 7-10 years ago, but since I moved into a new neighborhood 5 years ago I see a lot more and it's been pretty consistent for the last few years. Definitely more the prior 3 years due to weekend halloween though.
>>710121108
Good idea. I'm gonna hand out beers and nugs next year.
>>710120525
It was raining so damn hard last night, so barely any trick or treaters.
>>710121108
I don't really fuck with holidays like christmas, I put up a tree but no lights outside or anything.
Also, by a "tree" I mean I go outside and pick up the biggest dead branch I can find and bring it inside. Not joking, and everyone should do this.
So do you think it's all holidays then? That's a shame too. St Patrick's seems to attract the same amount of insane drunk people every year, but let's be honest, they were going to be there anyway. Now they're just wearing green.
>>710120525
Trunk or treating type events have effectively destroyed trick or treating in neighborhoods
I had 5 kids come and i live in a decent sized town, had 12 last year it just keeps getting worse and worse.l
Less people gave out candy this year because we've had mass amounts of niggers coming from Detroit to trick or treat and they're always screaming and fighting. They also have been stealing decorations so people stopped putting them up. Do they always have to ruin everything?
>>710121508
Damn son. It was clear skies and only in the mid 50s last night.
I had literally 3 kids last night. Havent lived at this address too long but normal is 20-30
In fairness it was literally freezing cold last night, 0 degrees, so I cant imagine the kids stayed out long
Only had 2 people come by this year, not a lot of decorations around but that's typical for my area.
But yeah, I agree. Halloween seems to be dying. I blame the fact that kids, now more than ever, are super into Christmas and don't really give a shit about candy.
Candy doesn't look so hot when you know Grandpa is gonna buy you a new iPad in a few months.
Fucking packed on my street. And I live in BFE
>>710121550
Fucking churches man. The churches here pray that it rains every year.
>>710121539
More so the ones with magic in them. Christmas, Easter, Halloween, even Thanksgiving. Where there's a story that most pre 2000's were raised with.
Now it's all commercialized that I think we are so numb to feel the spirit anymore.
I was walking through the mall a couple days ago, pass by one of them "home" stores. Has Halloween, Christmas and Valentines stuff out. Fucking Valentines!??!!!!?!
>>710121258
this
People make assumptions, like people don't trick or treat anymore. People don't feel safe enough to trick or trick, ect. All based off their limited experience.
Most people don't understand, that your tiny experience doesn't necessarily represent what everyone else is experiencing.
That would be like saying, it hasn't rained in 3 weeks where I live, so it doesn't rain much anymore, around the world.
>>710120525
It's because Halloween is fucking stupid and only a matter of time before it dies completely. But if you're looking for a real cause for its decline, you need only look at your generation, representative of cucks and femnazi cunts who squeeze the fun out of everything by not allowing their children to eat sugar or be outside at night. Your generation is full of triggered sissies who for fear they or their children might be made fun of for having a lame costume decide instead to have private parties where they just give kids candy and let them parade themselves in the back yard with all the rest of their socially stunted friends. That's why. You should probably kys. It's your fault. Because you're a giant pussy.
>>710121772
Sad but true. I wanna bring back the Halloween spirit.
Next year, I'm gonna go find every house that isn't handing out candy and fuck them up. People have gotten so used to treats that they've forgotten how to trick.
>>710121772
>Holidays with magic
>Thanksgiving
Literally just a holiday about a feast that was had after raiding a native tribe...
I agree with the whole commercialized stuff though, completely misses the spirit of the holidays. Really ruins it. Halloween isnt about fucking inflatable lawn ornamates, its about getting spooked
>>710121772
They're trying to destroy American "culture" and values. They're draining our spirit and making us hate each other.
>>710121573
Yes.
>>710121681
We had 3 here also, and I live in a fairly good neighborhood in the suburbs. We didn't set out a full haunted house corn maze or anything, but we had our porch light on and some lights in the window.
Leaving for work at 9 the roads were completely empty. Was surprised to not be almost running over drunk retard teenagers in togas left and right. Even where I work in an apartment complex, z e r o people walking. Which is where I used to do it, to get the most candy per square foot.
>>710121904
Kek, I agree with you anon. But you gotta calm down.
>>710120525
people stopped doing that shit cause people here gave rat poison candy to children, dressed up and battered random people, set people on fire etc.
>>710120525
I didn't notice, but I did see an increased turnout for my vetrnaetr party. People seem to really like the whole "start a fire, drink, eat roasted meats and fuck in the woods" part.
How do we save trick-or-treating?
>>710120525
Go search for the study about multiculturism and how people have less in group trust leading to isolation within communities and less trust as a whole.
Excuse my English.
If anything I noticed a bigger crowd and way better costumes than the previous years. Easily had over 150 kids.
>>710122109
O.O
>>710122109
Where do you live?
>>710122066
Sorry, I ate about a dozen and a half of Milky Way minis brought to work by a colleague who said no one came to his door trick or treating. I just ate another while typing this. And I had a monster energy. I'm a little wound up.
>>710121967
good idea anon, i'm gonna do this too
>>710121904
My generation? I was born in the 80's bub. I went ham on halloween every year in one way or another until I started working every night for the last 5 years.
I don't have children because lol why would I do that to myself, but it sucks to see something I enjoyed not being shared with todays kids.
>like raisins
>and uncle steves secret belly rubs
>>710122190
I'm in the same boat, I've been eating starburst all morning.
>>710121573
It is the same in Memphis.
Groups of 20 or 30 teenaged black kids, not even in costume, grabbing candy out of the bowl instead of waiting to be given an equal share.
They don't even say "Trick or treat." They just grab and complain why doing so, or laugh very loudly about how much they were able to snatch. Then they fight with each other in the yard because someone got more; just yelling and punching.
We've kept the lights off the past 5 or 6 Halloweens. Even then, there will be some black kids ringing the door bell at 11PM. Fuck that. They can use their EBT cards to get candy, I'm not buying shit for them.
Halloween is just an opportunity for these gang-bangers to case your house or invade it when the door is opened. Or they wander around and beat up whomever they find on the street.
Can't have anything innocent and fun as long as the jungle bunnies are around.
>>710120525
Parents take their kids to "trunk or treat" shit now, been happening more and more for years now. They just get together at a church or community center or something and the kids go from car to car trick or treating instead. That way all the new age parents can feel safe without the kids wandering neighborhoods.
>>710121876
Someone just started their elementary stats class this semester.
I'm gonna start a Halloween extremist group.
We'll attack all the churches and trunk-or-treating events with paintball guns, fuck up all the houses that aren't handing out candy, and give out MASSIVE goodie bags to every kid who comes to our door.
I'll also hand out free jack o'lanterns and goodie bags with a joint (good Colorado weed), four cigarettes, a crack lighter, and two of those little vodka shots to every adult.
Seriously, I love this holiday. We can't let it go to waste like this.
It's because all these kids are starting to grow up faster and faster now. That's just the type of world we live in these days. Pretty fucked up because being an adult really isn't all that crazy insane. You're just bigger and have to spend a lot of money on shit.
>>710121876
Yes, it's a limited sample size especially since not everyone is saying where they're from, myself included, but seeing as I can't take a nationwide census at the moment as I'm currently high as fuck and also not dr manhattan, maybe i'll just ask you fucking fags what your experience was personally and giggle at memes.
Social media has convinced people the is a rapist pedo behind every tree waiting to abduct their children.
>>710122416
Is that a real thing?
I should hit one of those up next year and abduct a kid
>>710122403
Why would you live in Memphis to begin with?
That's like eating McDonald's every day and bitching about the low quality of the food.
>>710122240
>I was born in the 80s
Exactly. That makes you a millennial, which is the problem here. I'm not saying "you" personally. I mean your generation, the generation of the entitled. They had too many bags of candy snatched from them as children and are choosing to keep their children safe from anything that may hurt their feelings. It's the social justice generation. That's why no kids trick or treat these days. Because their parents (millennials) take them to work, go to the mall, or just flat out buy them bags of candy until they eat themselves into stage 2 diabetes.
>>710121344
Such edge
Fuck Halloween!! and your pagan bullshit!!
we should all be celebrating JesusWeen!

>>710122403
My whole sub division community go together and decided not to do Halloween this year because of all the fucking rude ass black kids. They all showed up and went ape.
>>710122416
Wow I didn't know what the fuck the other anon was talking about so I dismissed it, didn't know that was a real thing. Really stupid.
Sounds like a vague child-kidnapping event. Church would be the place to do it though.
>>710122554
dude take it from me. being an adult is really really bad it's terrible and when you can do whatever you want it makes nothing at all fun anymore because you can just do it whenever you want anyway. if i could be a kid again i would do that but maybe it wouldnt be so fun being a kid these days with how fucking gay they all act
>>710122136
This:
>>710122508
and maybe also spend money to hire security or military fags to keep the peace in areas with gang problems.
>>710121615
I wish. The weekend was really nice, last night was pure shit. Even lost power for 20 mins.
>>710120739
Its not this. Not as many faggots as you may think. Laziness, on the other hand, has definitely gone up. No one wants to go through the effort. Kids would rather be online.
>All these people not practicing Halloween correctly
>Makes me feel like a disapproving old-timer
>>710122181
Detroit, obviously
>>710122674
Yeah I guess. My generation would be the ones allowing these tumblrfucks to survive gestation.
>>710121772
If you ever worked in a grocery store, even as a part time job, you'll know how dreadful it is when Christmas music goes on. It's the same 3 songs repeated by different artists who sound worse with each rendition.
>>710121130
>can't just buy your own candy
>being an asshole teenager "was" awesome
Fuck a cactus, you waste of space
>>710122674
Are people born in the 80s really true millennials. considering how rapidly culture has advanced in such a short span of time?
>>710122790
Right? I feel old complaining about "kids these days" already and I'm not even 30.
I think we're probably just still too close in time to the experience, so we don't understand why you would change it.
If I came outside and there was an egg splatted on my car, I'd wash it off with a grin.
>>710122852
Not that guy, but man, our kids are gonna be fucked up. Whatever the generation after the millenials is are probably going to be the most degenerate, disgusting, neurotic pieces of shit to hit this planet since the fall of Rome
Many reasons why.
1. People took clowns very seriously this year....lol
2. Society is shamming literally anything you wear especially Halloween costumes. Oh you're wearing a cop uniform? You're promoting violence!! Wearing a nurse costume? You're giving actual nurses a bad image by making them look slutty!! All these retarder swj and changing norms are killing the joy of wearing anything in general.
3. Parents are fucking terrified so they don't let their children out for whatever reason
4. Still waiting for that one /b/ poster to see if he sent anyone to the hospital by giving them poisoned candy....
5. Halloween was going out asking for candy and causing a bit of chaos but now parents and anyone in general think Halloween as a way to promote bad behavior...
6. Lmao clowns..
I don't put out candy anymore because the only kids out trick or treating are niggers, and they don't have any fucking manners or class. I live in an upscale gated apartment home community, rent starts at $1500/month for a 1 bdrm. Recently there have been more and more niggers moving in. Can't seem to figure it out, but combine that with the fact that random niggers come into th the complex anyway, let in the gate by their nigger friends who live there and you get teenage niggers running around with no costume beating on the tucking doors like a bunch of fucking baboons. That's why Halloween is so dead.
>>710122817
Sounds like fun. I've heard stories about Devil's Night there.
So many great artists come from there, too: Voodoo Organist, HoK, ICP, Esham, D12.
Detroit sounds like an awesome place for horror.
>>710122508
I'll see you in the news
>>710122652
>>710122728
My boss was talking about it last night. In his words "back in the day you didn't have to worry about your kid getting raped in the mouth"
I don't really get it, when I was a kid the parents would usually walk a hundred feet or so behind us so we were fine
>>710122981
Last time I trick or treated for candy I was maybe 11. If I wanted candy right now, yes I would go out and buy candy. That is in fact how growing up works.
Sorry for having friends in my developing years. Sometimes you just have to fuck someone else's shit up for funsies. If you didn't do it at least once then you're missing out.
>>710122948
I hate that they never play "Christmas Vacation" (the theme song of that 80s comedy).
>>710122948
ohgawd, i did for a few years. DROVE ME FUCKING INSANE. I think by them putting that shit on, it really makes both employees and customers moody.
>>710120525
In my area, the local mega churches host trunk or treat in safe well lit parking lots with hundreds of kids showing up, they usually also have costume contests. That keeps the kids a lot safer than going to strangers homes.
>>710121108
Brought my one year old out. Streets were empty. Only went a block and maybe 5 houses were giving out candy. Back home maybe 12 kids stopped by. This holiday is dead and it's a shame. It used to be a fun, no stress and relatively inexpensive. buy $20 of candy to hand out, and $30 on your kids costumes vs hundreds spent on Christmas gifts, or going crazy cleaning and cooking for your picky in-laws on Thanksgiving.
I live in Chicago. They all come in waves now with parents. We even get niglets that come from bad neighborhoods. We give them bad candy.
>>710122240
>I don't have children
nigger you gay
>>710123138
It's a date. Look for it,
Sent my three kids out this year. Always told them to directly ask for money. Can't trust food coming from an unknown source. Usually helps out since welfare doesn't pay enough.
>>710123190
Enjoy it while you can. They won't be "safer" when I'm done with them: Next year, we're bringing back Halloween: >>710122508
>>710123293
If some rude little shit asked me for money instead of the candy I hand out, I would follow it home to get the address, then report a dangerous home to DCS/DHS.
>>710123031
I wonder if they'll figure it out in time. Probably not, everyone says millenials are the shittiest generation and I had a fairly structured life.
The nignogs and purple armpit hair bi-curious queer fat transsexual bartender biased blumenthal blokeathon trifecta neutralfags wouldn't hit the nail on the head either.
Hammers are too phallic anyway, they'd be too offended to start swinging.
I'm just glad I'll be dead eventually.

I wouldn't know what it's called bre, being a immigrant and all with actual Christmas Carols being sung. I do get all tense when I hear the music for the first time though, because I know I have another 3 months of it. On the bright side, at least they have the courtesy to stop blasting that shit right on Christmas Eve(Because it's not like Christmas ends in January or anything...)
I think they're just more concentrated.
Every merhodist church in terms country hosts trunk or treat type stuff.
Last year some of my coworkers took their kids to some halloween themed season ticket holder event for our local pro hockey team.
Those little faggots put any old pillowcase to shame
0 people came to my street. Lame-ist Halloween ever. Even the Halloween party's I went too only a few people dressed up.
What is the story behind the bloody face girl? I cant find anything on it?

The millennial generation begins in 1980, so yeah. I was born in '74, which makes me genX. We were among the last generation of kids who wandered around our neighborhoods under 10 years old until dark, my lil bro was 5 and as long as he was with the group of neighborhood kids, it was all good. That was before social justice when you could call the cops if a nigger was lurking around and not be accused of being racist, and one of the parents kept an eye on the kids. Kids were raised by a village back then. Now people hardly talk to their neighbors. I once rode my bike from west LA south of Beverly Hills to the La Brea tar pits with some friends of mine at 8 or 9 years old and none of us were over 12 at the time. If cops saw that shit nowadays they would stop us and go arrest the parents for child abuse or some shit. All bc of millennials.
>>710123525
Kek, what are trying to say anon? Let us help you help yourself
>>710120880
Its because all the parents are drunks now and don't take their kids trick or treating they take them to the party and stick them in the kids room while they get wasted. I see it way too often delivering pizzas. Everyone's drunk as shit and all the kids are standing in the corner in costume doing nothing. The parents just but them candy instead.
I hand out homemade toffee apples. I used crushed up industrial grade laxatives with the toffee though...
>>710120525
Everyone is working/tired after work.
Everything is expensive af, from candys to decorations/costumes.
Streets arent safe, either rapists, burglars or homeless drunkards.
You can get beaten or boo-ed if your costume offends someone eg. youre white person dressed as samurai.
If youre male you probably shouldnt even open doors to children, because >pedophilia, if your kid is male and he asks for sweets from a female then its >a rape.
Holidays are dead and you, white, sheltered fucktards killed it. You, fucktards, voted for it - for importing minorities, for spiting on the police, for irrational laws in support of poor opressed womxn, it goes and goes and goes. And this is just a freaking beginning.
Keep voting left. Keep getting married and making children to spoiled, whiny parasites. Keep on cucking.
>>710121258
>All our experiences are meaningless, because they represent really small sample sizes.
This. Applies to almost every generalization ever uttered on the Internet.
People aren't having kids until later in their lives. So people born in the 80s, whose kids would be at prime trick or treating age right now, just don't have kids yet, or only just now having their first kids.
Depends where you go. My neighborhood was dead. Like 5 trick or treaters. But then we went to a neighborhood a few miles away thats generally good for trick or treating and it was slammed . Hundreds of people walking around.
>>710123604
I don't know the story, sorry. Found her under a name "bloodychan" or something similar.

you realise halloween is just 1 of many corporate tactics to make people spend gratuitous amounts of money on glutinous consumption of food and product right? they tried to bring it to glorious Australia but we dont give a fuck about spoopy obitus children
>>710122680
It's not edgy, the whole concept is fundamentally wrongheaded for society.
>>710120525
is that the girl from the toothbrush video?
We're just growing up not as one but as a whole. It'll first start as the decline of Halloween, than it'll be Easter, than any small holiday. People will no longer consider them actual holidays anymore and will no longer be providing days off for this holiday as we become robots who work all day.
In a span of 100 years every other holiday such as thanksgiving and Christmas will be left in the dust as people become materialistic and greedy.
By the end of the purge of holidays the only one standing will be octoberfest.
Because good beer trumps everything.

Probably because you ameritards got childishly hysterical about clowns this year and stayed home so you didn't wet yourselves in front of the kids.
I blame the fucking trunk or treat fag-gasm. It was shitty around my hood, but the trunk or treats were packed. It's all the churches also. Fuck that shit. Kids don't know how fun Halloween should be.
>>710123653
Wait, genX started the PC movement in the early 90's while my generation was still in high school. Not sticking up for my generation, most of us are aware that we suck. But generation X did some shitty things too Anon.
>>710123904
you have a really weird impression of this country. Honestly. Last night was like Halloween light. Everywhere that isn't ghetto anyhow.
>>710123786
Yeah it's just another made up hallmark holiday to get us to buy into the hype of a 2000 year old tradition.
We had an insane amount of kids, but I think our neighborhood is competitive and people come from all over the area to trick or treat here
>>710123861
That shit didnt stop me when I was a kid
I only use halloween to scope out houses for my next hit. Made 10k between last and this year stealing goods.
>>710122240
>>710122674
Woah, Woah, Woah, another 80s kid here. Don't you dare go lumping us in with millennials. 80s kids were the last generation to not grow up with cell phones (or giant gray ones). Most didn't grow up on Internet or only 28k modem speed so doesn't really count as Internet.
We did all the same shit 60s and 70s generation did. Just better.
because all the kids nowadays have autism so they can't knock on a stranger's door

>>710124035
I got that "weird impression" from living there for 13 years.
You people are the most easily riled up, hysterical fucktards I've ever met. It's like flicking a 4 year old on the ear and watching the melodrama unfold. Fucking hilarious.
>>710123904
I regularly wet myself in front of my kids, the neighbor's kids, or pretty much any kids I come across. Sometimes some of it splashes onto them by accident.
>>710120525
My son is too old for trick or treating. I had to go buy booze so wifey said buy some candy in case kids come. Bought 3 boxes of candy. Drive slowly around the neighbourhood with my pants down wanking off while looking at slutty Asian teens in costumes. Get home and the kids have stopped coming. Eat the candy and drink the beer. Not a bad Halloween
>>710120525
I actually had more visitors than last year and i live in a country that doesnt even really celebrate it

do you think people 2000yrs ago imagined people gorging themselves on sugar for fuck all reason?
Halloween was about fear.
I'm not surprised a lot of people didn't participate this year because of a few clowns.
For fuck sakes everyone today talk so much game about being brave and shit but are to scared taking their little brother or sister trick or treating because it's "dangerous". That or being invited to a Halloween party and not going because you rather text someone or watch your shitty show and not enjoy the fortunes of life. Than you see them complain that Halloween is boring...
Mother fucker it's Halloween and you got to choices, join in on the fun or be a pussy all your life

Yeah, I don't really agree that we had it all that different from the decade before us, but everyone thinks their generation is the best.

>>710124362
I mean.... people back then chewed on tree oak for fuck all reason so why not sugar?
I live in Indianapolis and the city changed official trick-or-treat hours to 6:00-8:00 because of our high crime rate. There were less trick-or-treaters, but most just ignored the new time limits.

As a Juggalo, this national obsession with fake wannabe killer clowns gets me so pissed off.
Suddenly it's all trendy to dress up like a clown and act creepy outside of someone's neighborhood, but it wasn't cool when we do it. These clowns don't even do anything, either. If you see us standing outside your house with a knife, there's a legitimate reason to be afraid.
We are REAL killer clowns with REAL track record for psycho:

We are the only clown extremist organization to get labeled a national gang by the FBI.
We are the United States' premiere killer clown organization, and the same people who pretend to do the things that we do IRL call us "queers". but not to our faces, because they know they'll get followed and stabbed.

my neighborhood in florida was FILLED with kids
>>710124362
Like I said, candy was always just a bonus. Hanging out with your friends, and just being fucking amped to be a ninja turtle for a night was enough for me to celebrate it.
It's a night of mischief, and the spirit of that is what I feel is really in decline.
>>710124636
3/10, attitude is believable but internet proficiency and complete sentences are a dead giveaway.
Post an aborted fetus with a timestamp if legit.
I just moved into a trailer park, and there was not one trick or treater.

No, I'm legit. I'm just of the Juggalos who have developed self-awareness.
Most will get MASSIVELY butthurt if you call them criminals, even though 90% of Juggalos are involved or associated with some kind of crime, and 10-15% are in actual gangs.
A handful have stopped being in denial. The smart Juggalos run everybody else.
Last year we got between 400-500, this year was only 116, counting two repeats. We used to have a fall festival on Halloween, but they changed the date because they "don't want too many kids trick or treating on a school night" contributing to the low numbers. Fucking fun police...
>>710124961
Yeah, maybe, but at least we're actually taking xanax and playing with guns.
These mainstream clowns are fakes and pussies.
We've spent decades trying to make people afraid of clowns in America, and these millenial dickheads come along and make a trend out of pretending to do what we really do.
>>710120525
People are loosing the need and interest for tradition,man...I've never gone trick or treating as a kid,but Christman,for instance,has just become another day where i come from.

How on Earth is a person born in the 80s considered the same as a person born in the 90s?
The 80s-people were 90s-kids and remembered a time before the internet.
20yr old m here live by brookfield zoo and nobody was out beisdes ppl my age.......halloween is dead
>>710120525
Yeah, same here. Live in Orlando, FL and the turnout was about 40 kids as apposed to 100 kids in 2006. Some didn't even wear a costume. What the fuck?
Here in the UK it's not been as well celebrated until recent times. The shops sell more crap than I remember. However I don't see any treak or treaters in the burbs of London (too fucking dangerous).
>>710125728
We had no one in Reading. Most have figured its a con by now anyway.

You haven't been to London have you? 99% of any crime that Happens in the UK is always related to London. Niggers, drug dealers, prostitutes. Not the sort of place you want to be out with kids.

Candy laced with harmful substances.
Expired candy.
Pranks.
Child predators.
Niggers.
>>710126249
Saying the English are the minority in London is an understatement. Ever felt like a foreigner in your own country?
>>710120525
The only thing I've noticed are that older, fatter kids are still going trick or treating, while the "alpha" kids rarely put on more than a sheet and still want candy.
>>710123143

i realized last night that no one rang our bell, never had 0 before but every year it's been less and less, last year there were probably like 5-6 groups who came
>>710120525
Steady decline for like 5 years. None for three years. Plenty of kids here. They just go to trunk or treat instead now and walk five feet between cars to get candy and go home after like an hour or so. Fucking lame.
>>710126447
>trunk or treat
>>710120525
It depends how many young kids you have in your neighbourhood. Over time the young kids grow up and then stop doing it. Neighbourhoods go through this all the time. Young families come in and the kids age out and then the houses sell to more young families over time. It's a well understood effect.
I'm glad there were hardly any kids out. None of those fuckers bothered me and I wasn't bought to buy candy for other peoples fat ass kids.
Fuck halloween.

Yeah it sucks. All the fun is just drained out of the holiday lately. What's even worse is that I live in the sticks in PA and there's nothing but conservative Christians running rampant. They tell their kids that it's Satan's holiday and that it shouldn't be celebrated. Fucking sad.
>Live in some area. Around the block was "that neighborhood".
>Too little to go to. But older siblings went. Said it was crazy

>No kids. No cars. No parties.

I blame pot. Too many kids in my grade did it. Older grades drank more but would go out more. Now kids just wanna play PC and shit and smoke
Hell I used to see kids play football every Saturday near my house. Now it happens maybe once a month. Kids are lazy faggots
>>710120525
only people i notice trick or treating are very high income families or the busloads of welfare subhumans looking for free food
I use tainted candy. put a kid in hospital last year lol
>>710126953
i used to do things like that stoned it made it even more intense, kids are just lazy shits these days with or without the drugs. give them an alcohol and probably they will stay home also hah
>>710123293
Your a horrible person that probably thinks the MUUSLIM next door is a terrorist too don't you. If a kid asked for money id say fuck off you greedy little troll. But then again id think iit was a greedy selfish brat and not some asshile adult using his kid as a holiday panhandler. And if you think anyone poisons candy these days your fucking retarded.WHAT! WAS LAST HALLOWEEN A BUNCH OF KIDS DYING IN THE STREETS FROM POISON! NO THEN WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.
>>710126971
lol so cool dude i wish i was there with ya xD
>>710126969
Little kids. But millennial parents are probably too offended to go. Or too afraid thier kid may see something spooky.
My dad took my siblings out with a hockey mask (jason style) and would just stand in the back. Hed watch us. But i can imagine some sjw faggot today complaining it was too scary.
>>710125019
>The smart Juggalos
lol
Halloween was made earlier and earlier.
This year it happpened in broad daylight and we only got 2 people who knocked. We didnt have candy to give out though.
I see less and less decorations out as well.
When I was a kid I remember it being dark and many folks went all out with decorations.

This is the first year I didn't hand out whole sized candy bars in a decade.
Why? Because I have a kid now and was out with him and the wife.
Better come home to a fucking disaster scene and property damage because 'lol no treat so trick'.
Again, fuck you and your family

Seems to be a steady decline in recent years. Prole seem to have gone toward "trunk r treat" events put on by churches, schools, and community groups.
>>710124230
It's understandable. And I agree with you. It's the biggest group of cry babies on the planet. This Halloween was a confirmation that people are generally trapped by mass media. I don't think it's clowns. It's just laziness and/or obsession with said media.
>>710126447
>Trunk or Treat
>>710127686
what the hell is trunk or treat?
Eh. I had 52 knocks on my door last night, I ran out of candy, and sent my gf to get some more. Then ran out of candy again.
>>710127907
what a fag
It sounds scary. Trunk or treat kids! (Knocks kid on head).
This whole year seemed terribly off.
The weather for one.
But the whole atmosphere October is supposed to have. The atmosphere it used to have.
Where was all the decorations?
Where was the ads on TV for Halloween shit?
What about all the monster movie marathons?
You could hardly find any Halloween music on the radio last night.
It's depressing.
>>710128095
>Halloween music
SPOOKY
My entire neighborhood gathered together to walk their children around in a single group. Something like 20+ kids and their parents came to my door at the same time. That was literally the only knock I got all night.. then I just got shitfaced and fell asleep.

fuck you all.

Wow you seem like a real fun guy to hang out with
>>710127876
A bunch of cars in a paring lot where people pass out candy. Usually a church or business. There are normally games and bounce houses, sometimes a petting zoo. It's a good time. In some ways it's better than traditional trick or treating.
>>710128630
whatever fag.
i bet you are one of those idiots who believes that christmas is a celebration of jebus birthday.
yes, significantly less.
and most of them this year were teenaged kids instead of younger children

We actually had an increase in people coming to our house this year.
We usually hardly get anyone and we have had years where we had no people come to our house even though we give out king size candy bars every year.
>>710128534
Halloween is also the watered down version of Samhain. In order to compete with Paganism. All saints day also made to compete with Samhain. It got mixed in with Bonfire night(mischeif night now). And got even more watered down this year. What's next? Virtual fucking trick or treating probably.
>>710129304
But really the day where the veil thins is around May 13th. I'm pretty sure. The original date of celebration of the dead.
>>710128710
Lmao not even close. Just stating how much a hipster downer fag you sounded like.
>>710129447
no you are
Most of the relevance of the holiday faded away. You're supposed to dress up scary, but there's people dressed as Superman and all kinds of other shit, so it's really no longer the "scary holiday." Also, faggots raping/killing/poisoning people has made it really unsafe for the kids who go trick-or-treating. Additionally, the fucking Christians have decided that Halloween is an evil pagan Satan premarital sex holiday this week, so there goes a bunch of potential revelers because everyone wants to pretend they're religious so they can go to the circlejerk on sundays
>>710123691
Fuck, that's sad
"Scholars today widely accept that the Pope was attempting to replace the earlier Celtic pagan festival with a church-sanctioned holiday. As this Christian holiday spread, the name evolved as well. Also called All-hallows Eve or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints' Day). 200 years later, in 1000 AD, the church made November 2 All Souls' Day, a day to honor the dead. It is celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the three celebrations, the eve of All Saints', All Saints', and All Souls' day, are called Hallowmas."

>>710120880
I think its a generational thing, a shift in society, when I was a kid , there was no internet.., kids nowdays are known to spent less time outside, they also dont play outdoor and stuff, they just play with their phones.
It's the Jews man they decided to not run as much Halloween programming on the tv or put Halloween stuff at the stores. The result of this was a decline in Halloween spirit. Also nobody posted spooky scary skeleton memes this year. Or maybe Halloween seemed like a big deal when we were younger but in reality it has been the same.
>>710120525
Oh there are a multitude of reasons! Clowns luring children away, SJW bitching costumes are too inappropriate, and let's not forget those Bible humpers who declare anything on this day to be wrong. You can thank those faggot Jehovas witnesses for making holidays less fun to celebrate in addition to feminists being triggered because the word "men" is in the word "Dimension".

There's a HUGE divide between older millennials (born in the 80s) and younger millennials (born in 90 and up). So much so that they shouldn't even be called the same generation.
I'm technically a millennial but I didn't have the internet at home until I was a sophomore in high school and I didn't have a cell phone until I was in college. Same fore social medias and the other defining traits of the millennial generation.

Plenty of advertising in stores here. I don't watch TV so idk about that part.

I was just asking my older friend about this, we dont think this is the case there has been a deline. I live in minnesota and it wasnt even that cold this year, saw maybe 4 kids out.
>>710129764
Too close to the election perhaps? A kind of media blackout so people don't lose focus? Seems like less media about Halloween. Using mass media to influence markets and voters. Don't take your eyes off the prize. Cultural appropriation. Blah blah blah. Dilution.
>>710123691
Reminds me of my little niece, she asked if I would take her trick or treating so she wouldn't have to go to some shithole party while my sister and her husband get shitfaced.

Your pic had me laughing my ass off
Eh, I think this is subjective depending on your area. I give out full size bars so it's easy for me to keep track, and while this years turnout was lower this was my past 4:
Thursday 2013 - 104 kids
Friday 2014 - 131 kids
Saturday 2015 - 147 kids
Monday 2016 - 93 kids
Lets be real... Mondays fucking suck, nobody wants to do shit on a Monday. I can speculate all day long but I won't have Halloween loop back around to make any sort of comparison about weekdays/weekends until 2019.
>>710122508
I like your paintball idea. I've been thinking, when I get my own place, I'd do a big paintball event each year, where people could shoot each other, and the winning team gets a big bucket of candy each. I'd have a sp00ky course set up, maybe some kind of maze, and do a TF2 ripoff by having a guy in a big costume (paintball-proofed, of course) chase them around with a big foam-and-plastic sword/machete/axe and he'd just wipe people out til one whole team is gone. Meanwhile, I'd be somewhere higher up, maybe a treehouse, and toss smaller bags of candy down to the players, and give them a nice Crown Royal-esque candy pouch to collect it in.
I saw it last night as well. Rich neighborhood, kegs, bar, adults. Block party, no Halloween theme visible. No kids other than babies. Like the whole night was about this barbecue and getting drunk and high. An entire neighborhood of people drinking while it rained on their kids. No decorations for the most part. Nobody in costume that I saw. Maybe a hundred drunk adults.
>>710130312
Got to have Heavy.
2 beggers this year. TWO. And there are lots of kids in my neighborhood. When I was growing up, streets would be crawling with people. Didn't matter what day of the week. I think kids AND their parents are much more introverted these days. Side of effect of doing majority of communication thru cell phone, texting or video game headsets.

>We were among the last generation of kids who wandered around our neighborhoods under 10 years old until dark
what kind of horseshit is this? I was born in 92 and there were no omnipotent moral busybodies looking over us for our childhood, at least not in the form of parents. Teachers, on the other hand..
>>710122508
While I do like your idea, there are a few kinks that need to be ironed out.
Instead of attacking churches and the houses that aren't giving out candy(some of them are taking their children trick-or-treating/at Halloween parties themselves/too poor to give out candy), instead, how about attacking all the fag Halloween parades, SJW/tumblr bullshit places.
and I'd say leave the joint and the crack lighter out of it. Unless you're trying to cater to jigs.

>>710123653
You're retarded as fuck. I was born in '88 and that's exactly what I did everyday as a child.
I live in the least niggered area of the UK (north east UK, my area is 100% white ex mining town) - sadly there was a murder on our street only a few weeks ago (domestic) so I think that scared everyone. Had 3, last year had 20.
Which is a shame as we loved giving sweets out to all the local kids, theyre always so polite and cute. :(
in addition to SJWs, pedos, niggers, kids that live in vacuum bubbles, etc.:
let's not forget the asshole dickbags that we know irl that make posts on social media that tell parents how to run their kids' lives---when these asshole dickbags have no job/gf/lost all his friends for being an asshole dickbag...OR HAVE KIDS or know what it's like to have kids or babysit.
it's these social media basement troll scums that ruin shit, too...and parents are taking dickbag comments for truth.
i don't understand why parents that listen to this bs can't/don't let their kids have fun.
god fucking damn!
