Yeah, every year people get weirder. Let's take a look at some samples. Hair. In 1900, NOBODY would wear a bright green mohawk, a mullet, whatever. Girls might have some odd dos goin on, and guys might rock the pony tail and mountain beard, but nothing compares to this http://www.funpeak.com/funnypics/crazy-creative-hairstyle.jpg

Well, costumes are the same. I remember growing up, things were simple. People dressed up as some Disney character or some superhero for Halloween. At worst people dressed up as a witch or Frankenstein's monster. Now you get people with realistic looking fake blood, severed limbs, fangs, all sorts of things that could disturb the minds of our children. And how about the parties? It used to be just as easy as "alright kiddo, go get candy!" and now it's "here's your cell phone (ages 4 and up apparently... kids these days) and your knives, don't forget your buddy and stay out of the dark!" if not the parents following the kids out. Not to mention the weirdos that have dance parties and do all sorts of dumb and or crazy crap.
People are weird. Enjoy your Halloween, try to act somewhat normal (crazy fun is ok, crazy gross and whatnot is not). Get candy!
I will! :3
