We asked you if Halloween costumes have gotten too risque.
I can't believe this made the news. When every year I see more sexually explicit costums worn mostly by young girls. If parents were really concerned, they wouldn't let their children go out that way. -- Edith
Please....halloween is time for ANY one at ANY age to dress up and have FUN.Levels of fun differ because of age differences and if it takes Down on Dragula, then that's what it takes. If parents don't want their kids looking at adult costumes, then it's this simple WATCH OVER THEM AND DON'T ALLOW THEN TO GO TOWARDS THE ADULT ASILES!!! Those customes aren't gonna dissapear because of whiny, closed-eyed, closed_minded, can't-keep-their-child-from-going-into-the-wrong-aisle(s) parents! -- Karen
Stores should gather pictures of all inappropriate costumes into some sort of binder only accessible to adults. This will avoid or minimize having things "misplaced" and attracting the wrong attention. Here is something to think of, "What can the public do when walking trick or treating and passing someone with the right to wear which ever costume he/ she like? -- X
Yes!!! Halloween costumes now cover the whole range of the grotesque. Sexual, violent, and gruesome. It is sad that our children not only have to see these things, but watch as grown adults revel and enjoy these things. There is only one thing this teaches them, and it's very sad. -- Vikki
Now a days, i do think that costumes are becoming more adult looking. I recently went to a costume store like that in Mission Valley and i was surprised to see younger kids costumes are becoming shorter too. I thought halloween was supposed to be fun and scary not who can show your butt, breasts, and how sexual your costume can be. -- Margarrette
This is another case of over socially convservative parents policing society. Now it;s if a Halloween costume isn't politicaly correct, they bully the company into not display it, or even being able to purchase to adults which is who is was meant for in the first place. -- Marcus
Halloween, through the marketing efforts of manufacturers and marketers - has become a holiday for all ages. For the adults who choose to purchase and wear "adult" costumes - just do it and act responsibility. The focus on Halloween should remain mostly for the kids to enjoy. -- Rico
Look it's only a costume I worked retail for years already and it's true people grab things and don't care were they leave them and bringing this forward will make people want it more so should I say thank u for boosting are economy -- Chris
Halloween is about having fun with friends,if that means wearing a costume thats a bit risque so be it, other people dont have to look. -- Michelle
Halloween is a very well known holiday to children. Risque costumes should not be worn our in public. -- Norma
IF THE ONE WOMAN IN YOUR STORY IS SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE SEXUAL NATURE OF THE COSTUMING, PERHAPS BEFORE SHE LEAVES THE HOUSE SHE SHOULD COVER HER BREASTS..REALLY, HER TOP WAS JUST A BIT TOO LOW CUT TO TRY TO PLAY THE PRUDE. -- Rob
