You know, this does remind me of an episode of The Real Ghostbusters where a mayor prohibited all Halloween displays because he thought they were a bad influence. Turns out that (in the GB universe) Halloween was supposed to be celebrated (as a sort of pact) to make goblins go away. So when the city failed to do so, they were swarmed by monsters. Don’t worry the GB saved the day. 
The whole thing seems to have been a “Take that” to people who won’t allow Halloween for religious reasons. GB ruled. 
Turns out I went a saw Where The Wild Things Are, with my friend. It was neat, there were only 6 other people in the movie theater. I brought two bags of Halloween candy in with me(deep ass fucking pockets ).
The movie itself wasn’t that great though; it seemed like everybody was freaking out over nothing the whole time, which makes sense when you consider what everybody was. I almost pissed myself when Carol tore that guy’s arem off.
