It's that time of year again. All the disgusting and creepy decorations come out, gory costumes clutter the stores, and candy is everywhere. Halloween and all its horrors have become internationally accepted and celebrated. Last year alone, Americans spent 12.2 billion dollars on Halloween. That is insane.

This is a question that will stir up an entire hornet's nest of issues if you ask most people today.
