Is it just me, or have people really started to go crazy with Halloween decorations? It seems that each year, the "decorations" that folks place outside their homes get more elaborate and more macabre.
Front lawns now spend the month of October covered with skeletons, demons, vampires and mock graveyards. Even gargantuan inflatable death trains are making an appearance. (Seriously- I saw a gargantuan inflatable death train, complete with a skeleton engineer, a gravestone and a vampire passenger, while I was out walking the dog the other night. Picture above.)
Call me a prude, but I find the increasingly elaborate displays disturbing... I simply do not remember seeing decorations like that in the past. Heck, when I was a kid, my mom used to put a plastic pumpkin decoration on the front door, and we thought it was cutting edge! Today, that pumpkin is pretty tame compared to the gruesome displays popping up around town. Another sign that our society is losing its way, I suppose.
Still, in all things: Praise God!!

Have you seen the way people dress for Halloween now? You can't even take your kids out in the city anymore, I live in Allentown and it is DISGUSTING.
Yes. Halloween is no longer innocent fun (if it ever was)!
