31 Years of Halloween commercials (1985-2016)

[@williammead4646]

I miss being a kid. I used to get excited about Halloween and going to toysrus to pick a costume going trick-or-treating. however October is still my favorite time of year.

[@darthsoros787]

William Mead we use to make our own, bought costumes were for posers.

[@sleeperface1754]

Enjoy now. When you get older you will regret that you didn’t.

[@jakeystarsuper]

you dont have to be a kid

[@YowLife]

What happened to all the effort? I'd love to see Halloween commercials like this today!

[@ashleyklotz3762]

I really would too, the commercials I saw growing up were worth waiting for the break, now I record everything just so I can fast forward thru them all

[@chrishernandez6131]

There was effort especially with some of the animations. The ones more recent seem more fixated on cinematic horror instead of just wholesome family halloween fun. I wanted some more, I don't know "Halloweeness" if you will, put some more pumpkins in there man and some more trick or treating! 🎃

[@sillygoose635]

there still is effort

[@theauthor1238]

I know, right?!

[@icaliver]

It’s not just the commercial it was the quality businesses used to have when they effort put into fun activities. Like those McDonald pales they put effort into their products but Everything seems to be the same soulless gimmick today. Well, its still fun to reminisce.

[@MichaelClaudio13]

It's a shame that Halloween just isn't like it was when I was a kid people barely decorate.

[@xHiyami]

True..... =/

[@KingNexusMOCs]

Yeah, Halloween is dying, sadly

[@s.c.craven5304]

And the people who do are awesome die hard Halloweeners who are seen as crazy

[@fatcat1]

My neighborhood is dead during Halloween now compared to earlier years ! Real shame I tell ya.

[@The_Skrub]

I grew up in a tiny town. There was always that 1 house that was super over the top with music outside, flashing lights in the windows, fog machines, etc.

[@rainqueen6034]

Halloween must have been super special in the 80s/90s...sadly I never grew up in that time

[@paulbier2182]

Too bad. I was born in 1981. I had a chance to experience the last Glory days of Halloween. The late 80's into the mid 90's we're the best for Halloween. Today, I can't understand why we even celebrate it anymore. Back then, parents weren't trick or treating with their kids. We all went out with our friends. Festivities began after school and we were out in the neighborhood until 10:30 at night. None of this hour and a half nonsense. I guess those days are gone for good.

[@scenevariations9358]

Dang every time I look at something 90s related then look back at my life I’m like wow my life sucks

[@chzzyg2698]

@@paulbier2182 Same. I avoided any friends that had parents with them unless they were driving to the "Rich People" neighborhoods. Otherwise, it was fun to just wander with pals for hours looking at house decorations, pinpointing which ones had the best candy, and judging who had the best costumes and makeup. Halloween used to be alot of fun. When I was 13 in the mid 90's, a house turned me down for being too old to Trick or Treat, so I stopped doing it. Which is around when the holiday started going downhill anyway.

[@gator9339]

Trick or treating in the 90s was so great

[@paulbier2182]

I can still remember walking the neighborhood when I was 7. I remember staying out until the last house turned off their lights. The thing that ruined Halloween, was an over emphasis on safety. To see the young generation of today trick or treating for an hour, it makes you wonder if these kids will ever live a real childhood.

[@thehive4330]

[@The_Skrub]

This started off as a huge nostalgia trip...then slowly got depressing as I stopped recognizing the commercials around the time I turned 18 (2007).

[@dominichernandez6816]

agreed. got kinda sad when i remembered the years where I was still excited for halloween as a tween, but a lot of my friends were growing out of it and were too cool to dress up. Soon, like you mentioned, I didnt recognize any of these commercials.

[@emm_4595]

Halloween is slowly dying more and more each year, we gotta keep it alive!

[@denisejohnson4037]

its alive in our hearts

[@darkdreamsdontdie7785]

@Ren Helene in my town, there aren't that many trick or treaters anymore. I don't ever run out of candy anymore. And the younger ones in my household don't come back with huge hauls like me and my siblings used to get. Halloween is dying out slowly in some places from the looks of it.

[@darkdreamsdontdie7785]

@Action Anime Jackson goddamn that is pretty lame. At this rate, they're gonna kill Halloween if that sort of thing starts spreading to other places that it hasn't already.
