Well, I guess this means we all grew up scarred. You would think we would have noticed before now.

It is the adults who should be afraid this Halloween. Not of ghouls and goblins, but of permanently scarring their children.

BOO!

Gosh oh gee. How much $$ went into this study?

Parents, it is pretty easy to work this out. You know your own child. Keep with cute costumes and candy for the little ones, steering them past any scary displays. You can also have a tremulous tot stay home with one parent and hand out candy, or even go to bed early. Once the kids start WANTING to be scared (this WILL BE OBVIOUS), and dress up scary, they will let you know. Oy vey.

I think Heather WHIPPS has deep psychological problems stemming from her high school days when the guys made fun of her name. I won't explain it.

most parents underestimate just how terrifying the holiday can be for young kids.

Keep 'em home and let 'em watch Robot Cop.

Funny, I thought that many people find the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November to be more scary.

There was that one homeowner who played her part just a tad too well - spooky candles and strange music in the entryway - but how could anyone be so stuck-up as to psychoanalyze Halloween?!

It's *meant* to be scary.

I think what scares most children is sick videos and photos that are shown now with total abandon on NETWORK NEWS. As an adult, I'm much more offended now by tv news than ever before.

Halloween is nothing in comparison.

Apparently it's too much to expect anyone nowadays to confront, deal with and overcome their fears. Criminy, we're turning into a nation of wimps!

Yes, the world is the scary thing. let kids be kids. Little costumes that are darling and carrying little bags for their Trick or Treating. It's cute. It's fun. It's Halloween and...it's HERE TO STAY!!!
