Thread: Is Halloween dying?

Tweet

It seems as if Halloween is dying here in the Bay Area in CA. No one is even selling pumpkins out here for gods sake! How are things in the rest of the country? Where is all the spirit at?

Where in Bay Area are you? My local Home Depot in Hayward got's em for $2.99 each!

It's California what did you expect? LOL! Maybe Pumpkins along with Halloween are not politically correct where you live? You need to lobby and put a proposition on your ballot! Just kidding!!! Fear not fight the system and start a new trend! I promise you that if you start your own haunt you'll be the hit of your neighborhood because as much as things may change they stay the same. Halloween will never die!

Eastbay here !!! Holla! haha you can always substitute pumpkins for canned pumpkin or funkins!

Sorry to hear about the California Bay Area. There's a lot of good Halloween shopping in my area here in the Midwest.

I'm here in SSF & there are plenty of pumpkins at the grocery stores,parking lot type, & of course our Half Moon Bay pumpkin fest !!
So were are you ?? Must be your local area........ sorry to hear,but there seems to be enough bay Area haunters here on this forum
(nice to see), that there will no dying of Halloween around these parts.. !! LOL unless its dead corpses in our haunt.....

I hope not! This year it seems like there's more spirit than usual in my area. Maybe it's because it's the first year I've decorated so I've been paying more attention.

Not on the Texas Gulf coast either... I've counted at least a dozen houses in my neighborhood alone that have done more decoration than the typical JoL. That's lots more than the last couple of years.

More halloween stores popped up this year too.

And I just got back from a pumpkin farm that was PACKED with people.

i dont think halloween is dying but in my little corner of Canada we have less and less TOTers each year ... the house we operate out of draws the most on the street ... but it seems lots of people would rather keep the kids indoors ... a ton of my neighbors have some kind of halloween thing going on (pumpkins to lights) ... so hopefully this year will be a very busy one for the TOTers considering it falls on a Friday ...

Halloween's a big deal up in our neck o' the woods. Parades, lots of TOTers and plenty of folks decorate. Don't let it stop you.
