I love Halloween. But it's not just the whole 'omg let's give candy to complete strangers' thing. I'm fascinated by the origins and all that. It's my favorite holiday. But when I'm able to celebrate it I take it too far - I made a Pyramid Head (Silent Hill) costume out of next to nothing and even constructed a corpse to carry candy in. If I had my way that corpse would be hanging outside my front porch all day.
But I have to go to work at 2AM on Halloween, which just SUCKS. No fun and scary movies for me. The cheesiness of what has happened to Halloween is awesome to me too. I love the "gore" and special effect and the scare-factor. Halloween is the one day I can be myself and no one actually cares for once. So that's why I like it. If you don't that's your opinion, and that's fine with me. But I like it.
Unfortunately I tend to stop eating normal food and binge on candy for three weeks prior - which makes me really sick, but it's fun. I used to trick my family into buying a whole bunch of candy (we only get maybe two or three trick-or-treaters a year) so I could eat it myself. Now I just buy the candy myself, usually.
