Now that Halloween is over, it is time to move on to the most important holiday...Christmas. Here are 8 reasons why Halloween is completely overrated.
1. Costumes are hella expensive.
Who wants to spend $20 to $60 on a cheaply-made Harley Quinn costume when you know that there are going to be at least 10 other people wearing the exact same thing?
2. The pressure to be the funniest or sexiest costume at the party.
You won't make everyone's snap story if you are just a sheet ghost--but a slutty sheet ghost will (maybe). Save the sheets for the Toga Party.
3. Spiderwebs, everywhere.
I do not know why everyone is so obsessed with draping fake webs everywhere, but they are messy and get all over the place. Plus, NEWSFLASH, spiders are the creepiest creatures in all of the land.
4. Everything is orange.
Who decided that orange and black should be the official colors of Halloween? No one looks good in Halloween orange. Combining orange and black is the tackiest thing ever, unless you just really like tigers.
5. Costume parties.
Nothing screams fun like feeling forced to dress up like something you are not that into because you want to have the coolest costume at the party. Plus, you don't even recognize half of the people there anyway, so what is the point?
6. Candy corn.
It's gross.
7. While we're on the subject, food that is shaped like body parts.
If I want to drink punch, then I just want punch. Quit trying to call it blood and keep the fake eyeballs out of my drink.
8. Halloween stores.
As soon as October rolls around, suddenly all of the abandoned storefronts in that shopping mall down the street turn into Halloween stores. They are dingy, overcrowded and smell of latex and fake blood. And all of them--and I mean all--have those gangly blow-up creatures flailing in front of the store, which aren't fun for anyone.
