My neighborhood’s business association turns a pedestrian plaza into a Halloween zone with costumed figures and themed cutouts for the entire month of October which sounds fun except it’s all ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING CHARACTERS. Why is there a life sized Texas chainsaw massacre-er? Why are there multiple versions of the same horrifying werewolf with fangs and claws? Why a Slender Man and a Killer Klown???

I pass it every morning on my way to the subway and I just cannot imagine how terrified the little kids must be to walk by there on their way to school! There aren’t even any fun ones like hocus pocus or beetlejuice or nightmare before Christmas that could just be normal festive or kitschy. They have to go for nightmare fuel!

Anyway I am fascinated by the American ladies and international ladies in general. They are just so much more exciting to watch than the men or pairs to me and I’m glad we are getting so many actual contenders this season!

I seriously do not get the movement from "Spooky Cute" to "Nightmarish Hellscape" for Halloween decor. I guess there are always people who like to be scared, but the horror movie lawn art seems increasingly prominent in recent years.

I have a soft spot for Bradie so I hope she has a great run this season.

Same. She’s Team Old so I am on her side.
