it's just a bit underwhelming. Kids knock on your door and you watch a scary movie. You don't even get a day off and it's not an all day thing it's just early night

Yeah but you get to dress your kid up as a velociraptor or a ghost buster or something and then interact with people who live near you in a friendly way which doesn't exist outside of Halloween in this atomized hellscape. Plus it's way more than one day, I'm putting giant spiders all over my place for at least a month. The webs are hell to take down so I might even leave em up through November out of laziness lol
