I remember queer characters on Rosanne in the 90s claiming Halloween belongs to them and not to "breeders". A datapoint for your analysis

I sometimes wonder about American Halloween...

It seems to have always been a uniquely American thing -- the way we celebrate it, in America, I mean -- doesn't seem to have parallels in other countries. Even going back to the mid-1800s (when it seems to have started).

And it's ebbed and flowed even in my own lifetime. When I was a kid, it was little more than an excuse for an in-class party with cupcakes in elementary school (the under-12 ages), and trick-or-treating after dinner. Cutting a pair of eye holes out of a sheet and throwing it over your head was a perfectly acceptable costume.

Now, it's on a par with America's over-the-top Christmas (A neighbor across the cul-de-sac from me has a giant jack-o-lantern light setup on their roof). And I can't remember the turning point of when it became so big.

And I wonder what the trigger was. Could it have been (as with so much else in this country) 9/11?

Not that I mind. I like the spoopy, and the whimsy. But I do wonder.
