Don't like a Halloween costume? "Stay the f*** home"

I’m so tired of a handful of emotional hemophiliacs on social media telling us what we can’t do on Halloween. And by the way, please put drugs in my candy. #AllScoldsDay🎃 pic.twitter.com/if9O8HQZTU

“New rule!” Maher began. “If Halloween is too much for your fragile sensibilities and you’re worried about seeing someone wearing something that’s on the forbidden costume list … just stay the f*** home.”

Maher went on to mock the idea that there were lists of irreverent costumes that people were warned not to wear … “lest a night of irreverent dress-up spiral into something that resembles fun.”

“Halloween is supposed to be outrageous! It’s a festival of the sacrilegious, a celebration of the grotesque,” Maher continued, adding, “Yet every year there’s a new list of offensive things we shouldn’t do on the day that’s all about being offensive.”

Rather than canceling the fun out of Halloween, Maher said he’d prefer to cancel November 1st: “All Scolds’ Day” — which he said was “when the good people announce which costumes the bad people wore.”
