“Happy Halloween” trends as Internet declares Spooky Season starts September 1 now

This is the stupidest things I've ever heard.

I’m already knee deep in Halloween 👻 fuck summer

You can't have spooky season when it's still summer, these people are crazy. They're just diluting the specialness and the intensity of the actual spooky season by stretching it out like that.

fuck these assholes

I think it’s a subliminal psychological protest against climate change.

Summer is actually getting longer, but not really if I put the Halloween decorations up!

🎃 Pumpkin Frau Latte anyone?

I saw Halloween-themed Fruity Pebbles at Target yesterday. And they’ve brought back Count Chocula/Boo-Berry/Frankenberry/Fruit Brute cereals. And the Halloween candy is out. And it’s very expensive.

And Christmas starts the day after Halloween. World has gone fucking insane lately even in the small things.

Michael's crafts had Halloween shit 3 weeks ago. I wanted to destroy those shelves.

Fuck them.

I like Fall. I like Halloween and Thanksgiving 🙂

All that sunshine bores the daylights out of me, chasing shadows, moonlight 🌙 mystery

Has anyone seen any horrifying, frightening movies yet??? 🧟‍♂️

Isn’t this what Brian Laundrie wrote on Gabi’s IG, after he murdered her?

Hmmm 🤔…

This is a symptom of a trend I've noticed:Halloween as a 'cool' person's alternative to xmas. Bougie-hipster pile-on. It's as dumb as xmas mania and trending toward being just as annoying.

If Halloween is such a big deal how come I haven't had a single kid come through my nice neighborhood in 10 years? Where did all the kids go?

People don’t have children anymore. They get dogs.

I swear people's lives must be fucking miserable if they want to live in months-long holiday "seasons." Fucking hell, get a hobby.

The entire four-month period from Labor Day through Jan 1 should just be called "Holiday." The separate dates are all but indistinguishable from each other nowadays.

I love autumn, and all that it entails. This pumpkin spiced shit with the merchandising is getting out of control. Plus in this frickin' heat wave in L.A. (over 100 everywhere)., it's inappropriate.

r12, I'm seeing, "Bodies, Bodies, Bodies" tonight.

The holidays have significant psychological impacts to keep us getting depressed from shortening days and cooling weather

Except here in Florida where we welcome fall and winter

Los Angeles doesn’t get fall. LA Fall is Summer.

Wow, a pumpkin spice joke. It must be 2015 again.

I find they make September-December more depressing. If I never had to hear again about pumpkin spice, Thanksgiving sides you'd like if only you tried [italic]my[/italic] version, and the fuckery that is the entire month of December, I'd be much less depressed.

If only real magic existed! Then we wouldn't need holidays!

R16 at least kids usually shit at home.

I only recognize the existence of Halloween during the month of October.

Just as I only acknowledge the existence of Christmas during December.

I refuse to give more than one-twelfth of my life to any one holiday.

I can see why. I don't like summer and it is my least favorite time of year. It is too hot and it seems like it drags on forever with no real holidays except July 4th. With that long stretch from July until the end of October with no real holidays, it's no wonder they want to steal them from later in the year. I just find summer to be a completely boring time.

If it wasn’t for Halloween, Christmas would start in August

True. Christmas has already slain Thanksgiving.

The war against Christmas will end when Christmas ends its illegal occupation of Thanksgiving

Noxiously Hetero Hallmark knows no bounds

Fair enough, but what's supposed to cheer us up in January and February?

Carnival season

I don't mind it, to me Halloween-New Year's Day is the most beautiful, magical, and mysterious time of the year. Anything that expands that season is good in my book.

I will say I think this is partly due to college football. Regardless of what the calendar or even the temperature says, the seasons are more about feelings to me. As soon as the CFB season starts which it did this past weekend, that is when it feels like Fall has started and Halloween is what I think of when I think of Fall. Then Thanksgiving is that magical day when everything changes from Fall to Winter and the Christmas season begins. I follow the old custom and keep my indoor decorations up until Candlemas on Feb 2. Though I keep the poinsettias out through Valentines.

Thanksgiving is great 😊 as long as someone ELSE is cooking

This haunted fishbowl at Target is too precious

Women are seriously deranged and obsessive, it’s in their DNA. They want you to drown in the emotions of everything, to the point it loses all meaning.

Did the 'Internet' declare it, or did businesses who have a vested interest in selling as much Halloween merchandise as possible?
