Mrw we're actually living through the End of Halloween
He should shut the fuck up. The end of history was like eat pray love for warmongers.
What if I'm an archaeologist, Francis
The End of History means no more fun spooky skeleton imagery. The less fun spooky skeleton imagery, the more History is Ended.
Someone seems RATTLED
[percussive skeletal sounds intensify]
"We shouldn't trivialize death," says the acclaimed horror author.

You mean this guy? He wrote some scary shit, all right.
getting this upset about halloween decorations is so weird lol, what an embarrassing public self-own
Death to America
A liberal writer who fears the Lacanian real? Turns out that her mountains of pages of text are just a weak defense against existential horror lmao, liberalism is literally an ideology for frightened delusional children hiding from the dark
Halloween is so cancelled.
Oh no I’ve been spooked
I once saw some people say Halloween is reactionary because Zombies and Mummies are African things that white people find scary. Also that the word Spooky is a slur.
I wouldn't be surprised to see those kinds of takes on here, to be honest.
spook apparently does have some history as a slur for black people
It sure makes trying to explain egoism to libs annoying. 
It's also the name of one of the cats in Top Cat.
I don't see them talking about how Halloween is Irish cultural appropriation of Samhain
Just wait until they accidentally stumble into a Dia de los Muertos parade
Dia de los Muertos enjoyers 
memento mori, loser
Ahhh no please stop I'm going to live forever ahh if the line goes up forever so should I ahhhh respect the tragedy of my morality ahhhh
I swear we going to be a Halloween/Christmas mode the day after labor day in a year's time. I already saw the "holiday" peppermint flavors of things in my local big-box grocery. 
That would not simply be another skirmish in the war on Christmas, but perhaps the beginning of a hot war amongst the holidays
Best part of Halloween is it provides a strong bulwark, a line in the sand past which the Christmas season cannot cross.
Halloween needs to conduct a defensive first strike on November to put an end to the continuing provocation of Christmas’ aggressive expansion across the calendar.
Don't tell anybody but the apple and pumpkin pies at Thanksgiving are our beachhead. Extending our influence with autumnal fruits and gourds.
Comrade Jack Skellington shouldn't have stopped at the North Pole. 
Silly decorations like this are at least 50% of why I want to live in a house.
its so disrespectful that you have a skeleton beneath your skin, there are people who have died

Halloween destroys local festivities but I like dressing cute so it's a good holiday
Twitter has been surreal because I grew up thinking Joyce Carol Oates and writers like her were geniuses. I read her novel Zombie like three times. Black Water is good too, and whichever the one was about the kid who becomes a prophet. Yet she is consistently just goofy and condescending on twitter
I used to worship William Gibson too and that's been harder. He's the most lib person imaginable in Twitter and I have no idea how to reconcile it's the same guy who wrote Mona Lisa Overdrive.
For some reason Stephen King being a turbo lib hasn't hit me as hard, possibly because he made fun of himself in his books, so I already thought of him as kinda goofy.
PSA: please remember that plastic is bad for the environment and climate, instead try to use organic skeletons, preferably locally sourced billionaires
... Im a joke before I start decomposing, that might be an improvement actually ...
