Now I don't know about you, but Halloween is my favourite holiday. I mean, is there any better excuse to get dressed up in a ridiculous outfit and hound complete strangers for candy? I don't think so. However, there are some people who dread the coming of autumn and all its effluvia: the change of leaves, the brisker air and chiefly, Halloween. And these scrooges tend to either be those who hate horror movies with a passion, or parents.
Yes, for mothers and fathers everywhere, Halloween truly is a nightmare. Certainly, painstakingly making outfits and taking a bunch of under-fives trick-or-treating doesn't sound like anyone's cup of tea. Here are 15 tweets from parents explaining why exactly Halloween is the
worst.

Well there you have it. Whilst children are always demanding and difficult, Halloween tends to bring out the real monsters in them. Who would have known, eh?
