64 Spine-Chilling Halloween Disasters That Will Make You Question Everything Beyond Costumes

so AITA?

I (14F) am born on Halloween and almost all of my birthday parties have been halloween themed. (I live in a country where trick or treating doesn’t happen but parties occasionally do)

‘Hannah’ (15F) is a girl who joined our school beginning of this academic year so she hasn’t been in the school for long. And didn’t know about my birthday when she celebrated hers( important later)

So on Monday, I was sitting with my friends and the topic of what I wanted to do on my birthday came up and I said halloween party as usual. Suddenly, ‘Hannah’ speaks up and is like “no! You can’t do that. You’re copying me!” and I asked her why. She said that she had a Halloween themed birthday party in may (which is as far from October as possible) and that I should let her be the special one this year. I told her it was practically tradition for me to have a Halloween themed birthday cuz I’m actually born on said day.

(Now Keep in mind it really isn’t a holiday in our country but people do know a bit about it but not that much.)

So she says, “just because your birthday falls on it this time doesn’t mean you were born on it” and I’m just sitting there looking at her confused. Friend 1 asks her wth she’s talking about. So she says ” it falls on the last sunday of October. Just cuz you are born around that time doesn’t mean that you have keep a party.” And another friend is like “do you know anything about halloween?”

She basically refused to believe it doesn’t change every year and kept on trying to convince me to have a normal birthday party. I kept refusing and she walked away saying that I’m just a copy cat. A friend said she was the one who copied me but I reminded them that Hannah didn’t know about my birthday then.

Some of my friends tried to change my mind cuz she’s new but others are happy to have two halloween parties in a year. I really don’t want to change because last year I didn’t get to celebrate cuz of the pandemic and so this year I was really excited for it. Also this is my last year in school and I’ll prolly never meet these ppl again.

Edit: ok wow I have a LOT of birthday twins and now you guys have convinced me so I’m 99percent planning on having it

Halloween is one of my most favorite times of the year. My husband and I have two little ones so we know almost all the kiddos in our block through the kids/school. Usually for Halloween we get a swarm of kids who don’t live in our neighborhood because I guess we’re known for better treats here? Anyways this has caused problems for us because we usually make Halloween goodies for the kids with cool things in it usually ranging from $5-$10. We’ve run into cases where we’ve had so many random kids in the neighborhood that by the time kids I actually know come over, the goodies are all gone.

Last year my husband and I decided to just get a big of candy from Costco to give to the other kids and just save the Halloween goodies for kids we personally knew. Well afterwards my son came home from school and told me some kids from his school apparently stopped by our house(we don’t know them) and were mad they didn’t get the special bags. I do feel bad but we can’t afford to give a hundred kids these special bags, we usually set aside like 30 bags for all our neighborhood kids. AITA?

Within the past year, my girlfriend moved in with me into my home in an affluent neighborhood. For the past few years, the neighbors and I have seen a growing amount of people come to our neighborhood for Halloween. This has caused a lot of people to “turn off” for Halloween, which you’d think would get the crowd to lessen but it keeps growing. I was openly annoyed with this leading up to Halloween and my girlfriend would condemn it every time I brought it up because “Halloween’s all about sharing”, saying it shouldn’t matter whether the kids are from the neighborhood or not. She’d also point out that many of these children probably live in bad neighborhoods where it’s not possible to trick-or-treat. Not surprisingly, this year at both entrances to the neighborhood, cars line the streets.. some with out of state plates (I live in a suburb of a city which is just over the state line.)

Am I the jerk for getting annoyed with parents who truck carloads full of kids to a neighborhood they don’t live in?

As the title says this happened on Halloween. I’m 25M and 5 years ago my parents wanted to go to my sister’s house for Halloween. At the time I was still living with them, and I wanted to go to a party a friend was hosting. But my parents were adamant that I go with them instead because they wanted us all to be together. I still wanted to go to my friend’s party and my parents suggested a compromise in which I go to my sister’s party first. Then my friend’s. I figured it couldn’t hurt to do both, so I agreed since I liked helping my nephews with trick or treating. And that year I was wearing an inflatable ninja costume I was really eager to have fun in.

Well I was ready and waiting in the costume for hours. And by the time we finally took the kids out, most houses stopped giving candy and there was hardly anybody walking around. And we only went around the block, that’s it. Then when I wanted to go to my friend’s house my parents guilted me into staying because they needed me as a designated driver. I would have driven them home first and then gone to my friend’s party. But my parents just kept drinking and refused to leave. So I lost out on going the other party and cussed my parents out for making me miss it and not even being able to enjoy my Halloween. They just said that it was too late, and what could they do about it. They didn’t even attempt to make it up to me.
