Am I the only one who doesn't get the whole Halloween thing? [View All]

Sure, if you have little kids it is cute. And maybe when you are a little kid it is great getting all that candy for free. But what is it with adults who get giddy about dressing up, having parties and just plain acting silly for Halloween?

I just saw another ad on television for another "Haunted House" and remember how terrible they were when I was a kid and how bad they even look now. You pay money to go thru some dark mazes, have people wearing rubber masks jump out at you and scream and everyone gets cramped together in 100 degree heat. Whooo hoooo :eyes: . The weirdest part of it all is that there are adults going thru that actually get scared.

Some people say it is a chance for an adult to go out and "be someone else" and get away with it. Poor things. Some say that it is a good excuse to party, I say every night is a good excuse for that. I just don't get it.

So can someone explain to me why there are adults who actually think that halloween is fun. Not the little kid thing, just people who actually think that Halloween is "cool".
