Halloween? Without me this year. 

 

For this year, at least, I decided not to decorate my club in SL for Halloween ... except what you see in the picture.

There might be some DJs which placing for their set some decoration (I am not limiting this), but at all the other decoration stays off.

Maybe I should tell you first, this "event" isn't celebrated (much) where I am living.

Ok, there are companies, stores and TV-stations, which try to enable it as "big thing" here, too. The reason is simple: More business.

And sure, some people jump on that train for parties and more. And also not be seen as suspicious for celebrating it ... mostly.

But you won't find a lot houses decorated ... maybe 1 of 1,000-10.000 or even less.

And if kids dare to run for the "Trick or Treat", the almost households will have no candy available ... and a try of the "Trick" might end as visit on the police-station.

Anyway ...

Usual I was decorate my club all the years with some stuff. It is international, so I following the mainstream.

I have the things in the inventory. It not getting shady about the use or so. so there would be no costs.

But along the years, the event became more and more less appealing.

And as the event in the shortly last years became way and way more violent.

So ... I decided to be an opposite to the whole event ... to Clowns and Horror-Clowns ... and Mass-Murders ... and Zombies.

If I want some Horror, I watch the news with some other kind of clowns.

PS ... (and hint for the Swaginator-Hunters):

The Lindens and Moles was done a good work at decorating the event locations ...

... but at the 5th location ... with the broken clock that brings us back to the Future ... 

... the roaming Zombies was ... not my favorite.

(And can some native English speaker tell, how that location was related to the riddle ... about a lake and ship and so?)

PPS:

Ironically as I was write this text, an event-manager of my club was "decorate for the party later" ... I was forbidding her Zombies, btw ...

... and 2 others showing their Halloween-related avatars.
