Oh yes… the music is the WORST! And I don’t think you’re being silly at all. Once I started admitting that Halloween freaks me out, I was surprised to find other people I knew who feel the exact same way.

For me I can’t stand masks so I cringe if a clown comes to my door trick-or-treating! My family thinks it’s silly but anything covering the face freaks me out. All the screechy witch music and strobe lights make me feel sick too. I just get way too sensory overloaded with it all. Thank you for sharing your story I’m the oddball in my family but we all love to dress up. ?

I could skip Halloween any day and go right to Thanksgiving. I love Fall decor with all of the friendly pumpkins, leaf wreaths and whatnot.

But it’s a sensory minefield for me. Give me softly glowing carved pumpkins any day…but the strobelights??? The sounds? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek.

Thanks and love,

I didn’t really do dressing up and we never decorated the house! I’ve always preferred Bonfire Night, even though there’s no silly costumes involved 😀 What I’m looking forward to this year is carving my own pumpkin and then making pumpkin pie with the leftovers! 🙂

I’m going as a TARDIS, very non-spooky, very geeky and rather cool 🙂
