Can Halloween Ever Be Classy?

Sorry, but I hate all the Halloween junk around everyone's homes, inside and out, and suppose it's for the kiddies but I see waaay too many adults with nothing to do that do too much to themselves and their houses around this time of the year. Gosh, is there that much unemployment that everyone has time to spend on putting all this junk around their houses, not to mention spending the extra dough, although from what I have seen, they drag the same awful stuff out year after year so I doubt they are spending any money. But let's start putting money in our mattresses instead of fake spiders.

How about some class? Style? I found a few ideas across the Internet that actually look good, don't take a lot of your valuable time, and can be taken down quickly or thrown away and just start fresh next year with new ideas. Stop letting commercialism consume your every waking moment, you've got better things to do, places to see, new adventures, without wondering how much plastic and chemicals you place in a giant vat outside your door, you know, it's called candy, which will kill everyone quicker than anything. Your store-bought candy has been sitting in warehouses since 1965 and you are eating it as well as letting it eat through your pocketbook. Put your money back in your bank account and save it for a rainy day or a pleasant gift for yourself.

Stop with the running around in the neighborhood with some witchy leader of the pack housewife barking orders at you and your kids. If you are unlucky, I mean lucky, enough to have small kids, show them some classic movies. Depending on their ages, here are some good ones [original versions only; no remakes should be allowed]:

 

I think you will enjoy Halloween more if you make it a fun night instead of something where you are stressed out pandering to kids, other people, and corporations who are making money off of selling you the same ol' stuff year after year, including that poison candy. Bake a pie, bake your own cookies, stay home, or just go to the theater; nothing wrong with that and you start thinking about what you want to do instead of what stupid co-workers are telling you to do, or some unemployed nut who lives on your street. Go for it, you can do it, be an individual, and develop your own STYLE.
