You DO understand what Halloween celebrates, don't you? Your post implies
that you don't.

Actually, that's a very good point; because I am not at all sure what
Halloween now celebrates.

OTOH, I do know what it did celebrate. As a refresher, at the time of the
conversion from paganism Christianity in Europe, Halloween (All Hallows
'een) was a costume festival held on the evening before All Saints Day.
People dressed up to represent the old pagan deities, who were then fed
(given food) to appease then for the comming year.

Therefore, most of the costumes of mythical characters are not too far
afield.

But the guy with the plane crash scene is just plain wrong; and I have
nothing kind to say about PSA displays at Halloween either.
