fake horrors

I'm not sure what the equivalent to "bah humbug" is for Halloween. This year has seemed to have had an entire month of celebrating it rather than the day I recall of my own childhood. I don't object to it on theological grounds, tho I've never been comfortable with the implicit threat of trick or treating. My way of dealing with it all is to have a tub of sweets and chocs by the door all year round and offering any callers a lolly etc. A spirit of welcome and generosity throughout the year, including tonight when yes I will hand out goodies to anyone who calls.
I also don't object to people coming together to party, facebook has been awash with such gatherings, and its great to have events that bring people together. I think my objection is to the commercial profit making out of so much plastic tat that gets used for a few days then often ends up in landfill. Unable to enter into the spirit of it, I feel uneasy to see fake limbs and gravestones used as decorations, when elsewhere in my news feed I see actual blood and gore that it feels aren't being given the same attention. I know we need to have fun, I don't want to be a killjoy. I can't help feel tho that maybe we're being seduced into a fake horror as a way of distracting us from the real horrors.

I wasn't the only one to have environmental concerns:
