Consumed by the more popular Thanksgiving x Christmas hybrid. The only truly scary thing we have to look forward to is the reality we live in now. Also, costumes for one day of Halloween have been negated by cosplay whores all year round. You'll likely see more Halloween timed anime episodes than Halloween cartoon episodes.
I don't think cartoons care that much for holiday themed episodes anymore, other than maybe Thanksgiving or Christmas since those have the possibility for the show to have that episode appear in reruns yearly even after the show ends.

It's sad, I genuinely feel bad for kids today. Halloween in particular seems a lot less popular than it was when I was young. I see hardly any houses that decorated for it, most stores don't even have a Halloween section anymore, and of course cartoon channels aren't running any specials or even acknowledging Halloween's existence, its crazy.
When I was a kid Halloween and the fanfare surrounding it was my favorite time of year, I used to look forward to those Halloween specials and the Halloween themed bumps CN would play, I loved it all.

The things that halloween used to signify, autumn, harvest, ect. have spread out to be more of a seasonal thing with the traditional orange halloween color becoming popular season long. people's interest in the supernatural is now a yearlong thing with what was once considered nerdy niche culture becoming more mainstream and something someone can enjoy year round. Dressing up in costume can happen at any con now or event.

Even worse - it gives them wrong (i.e. socialist) idea about economy. They don't realize that while they obtain candy by trick-or-treating, their parents give roughly the same amount of candy to other trick-or-treaters. Not to mention that kids from richer families will end up with much worse candies that their parents would've been able to buy them. Then there is whole idea of "give us your shit or we fuck you up" - that's government tyranny in a nutshell. And don't forget that if not for government regulations, kids would've been able to spend their time much more productively by working on a factory and earning real money.

On the plus side though, haunted houses in texas are fucking HUGE.

Halloween is still popular, but stores are shoving it to the side to get people thinking about Christmas. Then you factor in people are working longer hours, the economy is still shitty, and the general loss of the traditions of the holiday, you can see enthusiasm would be low.
Really, think about how many parents still carve pumpkins with their kids, or how many kids still dress up like ghosts and devils. It's almost like the greater consumer culture wants us to forget that Halloween is a holiday about death.

This is what really bothers me.

No.933805
>>933799
So, seeing as you could not be bothered, I went ahead and looked it up.
The US census site doesn't have info on 2017 halloween, but it says 41 million kids were expected to trick-or-treat in 2015. It also says that 78% of people trust their neighbors, which, if older census numbers can be trusted, appears to be more or less the same every year, so kids are apparently still allowed to go out and do it. I also found out that spending for halloween went down on 2009, but has been steadily going up, so much that 8 billion bucks were spent last halloween, compared to 2009's 4 billion, according to the NRF.
Now, I'm thinking this could be chalked up to 3 things: there's more people around, there's more people older than 13 spending on halloween shit (or ,as some other anon stated before,older people are doing it more), or people really are celebrating just the same as they've always have.
I don't know, I think you need to relate this to some other statistics to be able to tell exactly wha happen in halloween. Who knows, maybe some of us don't see kids trick-or-treating because we're too far away for a group of kids to visit. Or , y'know, maybe taking candy from a guy that lives by himself is iffy.

I don't know if trick-or-treating is down in terms of partcipation rates, likely it isn't, but the manner in which children do it certainly has changed. It is far more supervised and organized. Specific dates and hours are determined by townships nowadays. Might be due to where I live, but I've also seen more trick-or-treating in large groups with fewer total visits.
