There was a girl on TV, who organized a costume drive for little kids who don’t have any, or cannot afford costumes for Halloween. And she said that they "need" them. I don’t see it. It’s not like food. They need food to live. I think that Halloween has been so blown out of proportion. We made our own costumes sometimes when my friends and I were little kids. My cousins were very creative. I really only remember going out for Halloween about 2 times. My parents were really not into that "holiday", and I think they only let us go out because our cousins were going out. And it was much safer than today is. It’s a good thing what the little girl did, but kids really do not "need costumes" IMO.
Tyler, it was a local news story. And it is not a "myth". This is not the same world as it was years ago. My little friends and I did not have to worry about getting raped or kidnapped or killed when we did go out for Halloween. Today kids do. The sickos are out there in record numbers. Now the parties with people that you know are different. And what about kids parents who do not believe in Halloween and ghost and goblins? Should they have to change just because others believe in it?
