The pumpkin was probably in chahoots with that cursed fig tree!

    halloween didn't exist when i was a kid. but easter did. so it's not the existing that makes it about jesus, but something else entirely

    Wow, I had no idea! Just looked it up (assuming you're in New Zealand) and read about this.

    no it happened in multiple countries in the 90s, it was very much a us-centric thing before that

    Yeah in the states I seem to remember stories being orientated around Halloween turning* into to much destruction and a woman in Kansas (Elizabeth Krebs) in the early 1900s started throwing large Halloween parties and inviting all the kids so they'd all get together party late into the night and people wouldn't have the time or energy to go around destroying shit.

    I was there when Halloween switched from scary to sexy. I started going to the WeHo Carnaval and the ladies of Southern California never disappointed. I showed up one year as Towelie and got to take pictures with all sorts of hot stoner chicks. Now I hand out candy and when high school girls show up I'm like yikes who let you out like that?!
