7 Reasons Why I Don't Like Halloween

While I love seeing the little kids in their cute little costumes, that's not enough to make this an enjoyable holiday.

7 Reasons Why I Don't Like Halloween
Emily Ann Gemma

Growing up, Halloween was great. My mom got my little sister and I cute little costumes: some included Winnie The Pooh, a Notre Dame cheerleader, and one year she handmade a beautiful Belle costume. But, as I've grown up I keep finding reasons not to like this holiday.

1. I hate dressing up

Some girls decide this is the time to wear whatever they want, or apparently hardly anything at all. It's also cold and any costume I choose I have to cover up with a jacket anyway.

2. It's creepy

This Halloween especially, I am NOT dealing with all this clown madness!

3. It can be dangerous

With all the kids out trick-or-treating it's pedophile central, which freaks me out.

4. People take advantage

It's sickening to me that people would put razor blades in popcorn balls for innocent children to bite into. These people use Halloween as a reason to hurt others.

5. I don't do haunted houses

Some people enjoy the rush of scary creatures popping out at you, but since my legs give out when I get scared, haunted houses do nothing but hurt my butt and raise my anxiety.

6. Trick-or-treating was always awkward to me.

I never like talking to strangers let alone going up to their front door asking for candy.

7. Halloween breeds pranks

This holiday used to be a simple holiday for families to go trick-or-treating, now it is a reckless holiday filled with illegal activity and pranks.

While I love seeing the little kids in their cute little costumes, I still do not like Halloween!
