Halloween

Halloween is meant for everybody in my opinion. I don't think there should be a cut off age for trick or treating. Maybe if you're an adult and going trick or treating you could be given a beer out of a 24 pack or something. If Halloween was meant for just kids, then they wouldn't make adult costumes. But yeah it is true that only kids up to the age of like twelve should be allowed to go trick or treating. I remember when I was younger that if you were thirteen and still went trick or treating, you were a loser. You would be made fun of. But I honestly believe that Halloween was intended for older people. If you observe all the costumes today, you'll see that most of them are of killers made famous in horror films. Such murders would be Jason and Freddy. Little kids should not even be watching films like this. My girlfriend's dad allowed her to watch the original A Nightmare on Elm St. when she was just a young girl and now she is deathly scared of knives and Freddy Kruger. Its not that she doesn't know it's not real now, but that she was impressionable at that age and it has stuck with her. If you think about it kids play "Halloween" all the time. Kids imagine they're are someone else and role play everyday, therefore Halloween is just another day to them. Adults and teenagers on the other hand are not able to do this, but there are days when we wish we were someone else like an ax murderer so we could do away with our nagging boss. It's not that we are ax murderers, it's just an imagination thing and a way of dealing with stress. Therefore, Halloween was meant to be targeting adults and not kids in my opinion.
