Too many fellow church members have heard that I collect VHS, and then proceeded to offload their old collections onto me when they clean out their closets, for me to think that they all shun horror and Halloween. I've seen too many copies of crappy horror movies mixed in with all the Bond films and WWII documentaries they own, lol! <br /><br />I forgot about Hell Houses! They make me mad too. The concept is pretty far from Christian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661270773678879909.post-55019246081623696922013-10-25T16:39:07.759-04:002013-10-25T16:39:07.759-04:00HA!

T...HA! Hell Houses. Don't get me started. Lol.<br /><br />There's a church down the street from my office that's doing "Mayhem House". But I guarantee it's the same damn thing.<br /><br />And Erin, very glad to hear there's a practicing Christian with more sense than the "board up the doors of the church and put lamb's blood on the frame to keep out the evil Halloween-celebrating heathens" type. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10950229310120282493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661270773678879909.post-3135322923302412692013-10-24T18:52:10.326-04:002013-10-24T18:52:10.326-04:00I thought this post might be comment bait, but I f...I thought this post might be comment bait, but I figured I'd get flamed for calling out the PC euphemisms. I guess I momentarily forgot who my audience is. lol If you have to call Halloween or Halloween activities by something other than their given names, then maybe you should just realize Halloween isn't for you and move along. I didn't mention it in the post, but church sponsored "Hell Houses" aggravate me, too. Heavy handed much?

Even though I am a practicing Christian, I'm not a fundie, and I don't like the idea of those shrill people who see evil where it doesn't exist leaking out of their own little crazy circles. They make otherwise normal people go along with them in small towns like the one where I live because they're so vocal and cause nobody wants a bunch of fat fundie fingers pointed at them next. It's satanic panic terrorism! My kid still trick or treats and will continue to do so until he decides he's too old, at which point he can hand out the candy!

And step 4 is the best. Fuck "Harvest Festivals".<br /><br />I hate that we're seeing the Halloween stuff in stores being pushed aside and downsized to make room for Christmas shit at least two weeks before Halloween! I have my own personal religion-related conspiracy theory for that, but I'll keep it to myself.<br /><br />Once again, great article and great topic, it all needed saying.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10950229310120282493noreply@blogger.com
