    Why do adults in America get excited about Halloween?

    In Canada (at least where I am from) Halloween is purely a childrens holiday. Anyone over 15-16 doesn't get involved outside of getting candy and maybe making some pies and seeds.

    Why is it that Americans (especially women) like to dress up and consume too much alcohol on what should be a childrens holiday?

          Jeezuz Brad, what podunk sinkhole are you from? Here in Winnipeg, CANADA, there are literally tons of halloween bashes and costume parties for adults. Hell every bar in the city has a halloween bash every year, all for adults.

          Halloween here is as big if not a bigger deal for adults. People get the kids thing done by 8:30 pm, then it's off to have the real fun.

          If you've never gotten laid at/from a halloween bash you have not lived.

                  That didn't take long. Thanks.

                  Americans are all closet alcoholics.

                      The two most accurate comments on Halloween would be the Dead Kennedy's song "Halloween" and I think it was the Onion's satirical news report a few years ago that Halloween was officially going to be re-named "National Dress Like A Slut Day"

                          If you saw the mobs of adults at the costume stores last night looking for costumes for themselves you might think otherwise. Its just another fun party. Kids have their fun from 6-9pm, after that why can't adults have their fun too?
                          you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

                            364 days a year you're you. For some people that's not a great thing I guess. But that one night of the year they can put on some crazy costume and literally be anyone or anything, and get away with it.

                            Ever had a shot at fucking an Elvira lookalike? A slutty witch? Zena? Wonderwoman? BATGIRL?

                            God bless Halloween.

                                      Not sure where in Canada your from, but out in Quebec we take it seriously.

                                      Each year my house gives out the best bags on the block. We budget about $400 for candy, and another $1000 or so in decorations. We tend to keep most of the stuff from each year so it gets bigger and bigger every year.

                                      Halloween is fun, get to watch my wife and her hot friends in skimpy little outfits.

                                          On a side note, pimps and hookers dress business casual on Halloween.

                                            good excuse to send the kids to grandmas, get piled with booze and get a blowjob from the neighbors wife.

                                              Unless you live in Seattle and then you can pretty much wear what ever you want and no one will really pay any attention.

                                                For the kids. The 9 yr old is all excited about it, so we carved pumpkins and put up halloween decorations.

                                                    It's a reason to dress up and party! And for parents it's fun to go out trick-or-treating with the kids and then meet up with other parents at a halloween house party.. we get to unwind with some drinks while the kids get more amp't with candy and friends. It's a win win.

                                                      I believe we have lost what the spirit of Halloween truly represents. I feel like Halloween has become nothing more than the greatest gimmick for corporations to make millions at this time of the year. It used to be a very special time, however the American corporate commercialization of Halloween started a few years ago, how sad that we have relinquished our spirit of tradition to the way of commercialization.

                                                        Same reason people get excited for St Pas day etc. Just another reason to get drunk/party. On Halloween you get to be someone else on top of that. All good fun. Btw, Toronto is great on Halloween. Tons of parties.

                                                            If you saw what women dress up in around here, you'd understand.

                                                                            Why is it that Americans (especially women) like to dress up and consume too much alcohol on what should be a childrens holiday?

                                                                                    Although it did used to be a kids holiday and I did used to bitch that adults had hijacked it to act like pimps, sluts, and wear shit in bad taste - yet another holiday to go out and party from the "it is all about me, and the sun also revolves around me" generation. I am no longer bitching.

                                                                                    Most of the Halloween myths are dieing off. Thank gawd that some are getting over stranger danger, and shows such as myth busters and other TV programs have been better explaining that nobody gets poison, nobody finds needles or razor blades in their candy, hospitals using X-ray machines on candy is fucking stupid, etc. Nobody but your fucking Ex is going to kidnap your kid and odds are it will be your cousin and not some stranger who will diddle your child.

                                                                                    Kids are sort of recapturing going out trick or treating and just doing safe malls and crap are slowing down. However the one major saving grace that can save the holiday for kids and adults alike is our generations fucking vanity.
                                                                                    Thanks to super stores like Spirit Halloween that are pop up for the holiday disappear a week after stores who specialize in Halloween, and that people fucking love haunted houses and mazes.

                                                                                    What we are seeing is a HUGE fucking trend in house decorations for Halloween flying off the shelves. What used to be paying a couple bucks for some pumpkins has gone to people spending hundreds to thousands each year to decorate their houses. Most of these decorations are interactive and visual. This means in order to show off, you need visitors. Add that with how our generation needs to do more and be more than everyone else (McMansions, High end cars, Name brand everything, etc) and a holiday that already has people visiting and going door to door very well can salvage the holiday and once again get the kids on the streets.
                                                                                    Perhaps not walking, but being driven around - it still is a step in the right direction.

You must have a small penis. You have a nice car? Well thats because you have a small penis. You have huge stats? Thats all the fault of your small penis.
