64 Spine-Chilling Halloween Disasters That Will Make You Question Everything Beyond Costumes
So, boom. It’s Halloween. All the kids are dressed up. Which was an exhausting effort in and of itself. And, we are heading out where I see my husband sitting in the van waiting for us to pile in. I stood there surprised. We live in one of those cookie cutter suburbia neighborhoods where we can walk door to door to all our neighbors without being on a highway or something. I told him we could just walk instead of having to pile everyone in and out of the car(strapping in car seats between each house too). He was totally against it said it would be safer this way and that it would be too much work to do all that walking complaining about being tired from work. Meanwhile, beside him there’s a pile of candy wrappers from him snacking on our Halloween candy we were leaving in a bowl.
At this point I tell him if he’s driving he can follow behind us in the car. And, he throws yet another mini-chocolate in his mouth and says fine. So, I walked the entire night in my Wonder Woman costume with my Captain Marvel, Spider-man, and Batman kids while he just watched us from the street. We got so many compliments and he wasn’t apart of the experience. One neighbor told me I was the real treat of the night because of my costume and it helped cheer me up a little. He even put a little airplane bottle of liquor in my candy bucket. Ha.
We finish up and get home. Kids are in bed and we are sorting through the candy checking to make sure it’s unopened. He sees the airplane bottle of liquor and kinda freaks out. I tell him that some guy gave it to me what I didn’t notice is that had slipped his phone number in the bucket too. Basically all hell broke loose. I’m telling him it’s not my fault he flirted with me but if he was there with me maybe it wouldn’t have happened. And, my husband is all upset we didn’t just ride with him and I’m just so over it. Then I tell him basically we don’t all have to suffer because you don’t want to help yourself be better.
AITA?
Good evening.
This happened a few nights ago, but I just heard it was causing drama today.
My wife and I moved into our neighborhood a few weeks ago, and we live somewhat rural. We’re in a small town, under 5,000 people, but have about 4 dozen homes within a 20 minute walk.
We know there aren’t any kids in the neighborhood, and were told to expect no trick or treaters.
So, my wife and I dressed up in costumes we had easy access to, nothing controversial or inappropriate, and stocked up on candy. We made little baggies for each house in our neighborhood with about a dozen fun sized pieces of candy in each.
On Halloween night we went from house ot house, and about half the people opened for us. We’d give them candy, introduce ourselves, and move on. We started around 6:30 PM and finished around 8:30 PM. (We started far out, and moved back in towards home, towards a few people we had casually met.)
Today while getting the mail, my wife overheard a group of people talking about the new, weird, neighbors, who decided to take up a chunk of everyone’s evening on a Saturday night.
That mixed with two of the houses on our route telling us that people don’t do that kind of thing in our neighborhood, and one telling us we’re going to burn in hell for celebrating a satanic holiday, has me thinking that A. We have at least one loony neighbor, but B. maybe we may have crossed a line in going out in the evening?
I’m dismissing the satanic panic right away, but with multiple people telling us we weren’t welcome, and the stuff my wife overheard, I’m wondering, were we out of line?
Are we the jerks?
Thank you.
I(32F) work as paramedic and work 10 hour shifts. We are short-staffed at the moment and I am working the over time that is given. My niece(4F) and nephew(5M) are all set and ready for going out on Halloween. My sister and BIL work different hours and will reach out to me if I am available.
Halloween is coming up and they are traveling Saturday for a funeral and will be returning Monday. They did ask me if I could watch them and I told them that I was working a 10 hour shift Saturday. Sister and BIL think I work too much and don’t spend a lot of time with niece and nephew. Niece and Nephew will be staying with our parents. Three co-workers called out for Sunday and they filled two of the slots. I told them that I would take cover the shift for Sunday.
My mother asks me if I could take them out on Halloween. I told them that I could not as I had to work until midnight. She calls me and says that I will be ruining their first Halloween. I tried to explain that work is short staffed and is a priority. My sister texted me a few times calling me a horrible aunt and to change my priorities to my niece and nephew.
AITA for not taking my niece and nephew out on Halloween?
My husband and I moved into this neighborhood about 2 years ago after we got married. We haven’t been able to celebrate Halloween the last two years due to Covid, it’s our favorite holiday so this year we decided to go all out.
We filled our yard with tombstones and skeletons. All of our bushes and trees are wrapped in fake webbing, the tree closest to the street having a huge 6 foot spider dangling from its limbs. The final touch was a huge rope web, that we added extra webbing to fill it out, that hangs from our roof all the way out to the street. We’re not into gory stuff so we got a couple of fuzzy spider decorations to place around the yard. It took us hours to decorate and we were so excited, my husband looked like a kid in a candy story.
