i support halloween's expansionism as a counterpoint to the christmas pact

August and September need some more/better holidays

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 27 points 5 months ago

well yeah, they need time to clear it out before the christmas stuff goes up in august

[–] neo@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago

Not a single Labor Day decoration for sale in sight. Makes one think.

porky-happy Halloween is in October. OCT-ober, eight month. Now stop thinking and buy this ludicrously overpriced shit

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

They're trying really hard to make Summerween a thing when it's literally a joke from Gravity Falls about how they wanted to do a Halloween episode but the constraints of the show required it to be in Summer

[–] ephemeral@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I love Halloween but I hate how commercialized it is. I want to see more handmade spooky decorations / costumes and less overpriced licensed franchise merch

and yeah putting this shit up in July is crazy. imo spooky season starts no earlier than the autumnal equinox

[–] AnarchoAnarchist@hexbear.net 1 points 5 months ago

It is impossible to be spooky if the sun sets after 7pm.

[–] Bloobish@hexbear.net 15 points 5 months ago

I freaking love fall and halloween, but yeah this is way too fuckin early

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 14 points 5 months ago

Christmas In July? Nah we on that All Hallows Eve August shit

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

One year they sold those 15 foot tall skeletons and now there are people who still just have them standing around in their yards year round

[–] Lenins_Sabocat@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 5 months ago

They just slap on a Santa hat and call it a year.

  1. the one comment from the megathread is forever burned into my consciousness

  2. I like to wake up the day after Halloween and tell people "Woohoo! It's Christmas season!" until it upsets someone.

[–] TheSpectreOfGay@hexbear.net 14 points 5 months ago

i went outside today and almost got heat stroke and you want me to think about halloween? the fuck

[–] Des@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago (2 children)

damn this is a no nonsense get your shit and get out store

[–] FidelChadstro@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Costco, one of America's most beloved shopping destinations. They all look exactly like this

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

They really do, even in overseas locations.

[–] Des@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago

ahh ok never been in one. thought u have to be a member to go inside

Nah I'm okay this this. Better than fucking Christmas.

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I can beat that. I routinely see Halloween shit in stores in February. Halloween wasn't even a thing here before Americans got to us.

[–] mrfugu@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There will be no need for this after the revolution because halloween will be year-round

[–] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

Seeing as it will finally be possible to officially grieve the victims of capitalism, it would only be appropriate to make remembrances year-round

[–] ryepunk@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

Yeah and we put out all our autumn stuff as well two weeks ago at my store. It gets earlier every year.

[–] Andrzej3K@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

Anyone who truly loves Halloween will recognize this as sacrilege

Same in Poland, if someone would ask the question "how deeply were you culturally invaded by US"
