Do any of you guys experience Halloween Haters in your neighborhoods ?
I mean people that are REALLY vocal about your decorations etc.....
I don't, but I just wanted to ask if the rest of you had any problems.

Just the other day in fact.
I'm driving around with the window open, MONSTER MASH going on the radio.
Old lady walking the street, the kind of old lady who looks like someone just CUT one, but her face is FROZEN in that look.
I'm stopped for the light...she hears the radio, and yells"That's SATAN'S music.!!!!"
I look at her in total AMAZEMENT..point at the radio...as if to say;"REALLY???"
Never would have THOUGHT of that on my own...
She wasn't fooled in the slightest and said;"YOU know what I'm talking about.."
The light changed before she had a chance to open fire with the gun I was SURE she had in her purse..the one that will be implicated in the mass shootings when they run ballistics on it after she dies...the one that killed all the people buried in her basement...

If I do encounter anyone I'm the type of person that will simply come out and say ''Mind Your Own &*^% Business, If I Want Your Opinion I'll Ask For It''.............and I'm a Christian at that.

I stay out of other people's business & always keep my opinion to myself unless I am ask.

But it's SOOOOOOO much more fun to BAIT the old lady until she lost her patience...I just wish she had pulled out her .38 and started to wave it around..
but you can't have everything...just her ranting and everyone LOOKING while I played the good natured Dumb Guy was fun enough...

I think it's funny that she thought innocent 'ole Monster Mash was Satan's music!

Ahh, the ignorant.....

Uncletor, I agree with Laurie, that's really mindboggling

that anyone would think that novelty song was evil. There must be a lot more than a few missing kings in queens in the deck she's playing with.

Oh YEAH, that's exactly what she needs, some Pulp Fiction style mock-retaliation!!!

Oh my Lord, I'm laughing just thinking about this, hee hee!! That is my favorite movie of all time, horror or not! I could recite it to you guys.

At this moment, no, we don't have any Halloween haters around my neighborhood.... BUT, long time ago, yes there were a few Halloween haters because they were very old people, even Christians too. We played prank games on them, even put some types of revenge things against them to make them angry and upset!

Uncletor- I think I'd have retorted with a comment like "You like it? Here, let me turn it up for you."

Crazy old woman... tsk, tsk.

I see it as a generational thing. Almost everybody under 60 in the United States grew up trick-or-treating, which had become a national institution by the 1950s. And with the hugely successful release of the classic Universal horror movies to television in 1957, a whole generation of "monster kids" was created.

For older people, Halloween in their youth was often associated with pranks and outright vandalism. Trick-or-treating was virtually unknown before 1934, and it wasn't until 1939 that any national publication even mentioned it. It really didn't catch on until after World War II and sugar rationing ended.

Can't imagine why they'd hate Halloween.

I just smiled at the vehmence....
it IS a pretty silly song to get UPSET about...
but good points about the trick or treating...it IS a fairly new thing...and the Doc is right...isolating paranoids, as we discovered with Stalin, JUST doesn't WORK...
