Fair point. I don’t think it’s necessarily bad to have lighthearted fun with spooky stuff, but most people have no idea what they’re dealing with so they can take it way too far.

Gruesome stories of murder and torture, spirits of the dead, demons, witchcraft. These aren’t things that should be taken lightly like skeletons or the typical depiction of ghosts (essentially flying bed sheets). People who feel at ease with or even fascinated by such things may find no problem engaging with them further.

Like many things, girls are particularly susceptible to these things. Many young girls and even women find witchcraft and curses and all types of superstitions fascinating and exciting. There’s a reason why there’s a cottage industry of astrology, fortune telling and mediums all oriented towards women. More women than you would expect get into paganism and witchcraft these days. Unfortunately, when it comes to many slippery slopes, women are the first to begin sliding.

Back to your point though, I don’t think spooky fun is necessarily bad, but as a Christian I just want to avoid anything that glorifies such things, especially to children.
