Keep it in the Castro, but impose a $550 bridge toll on Halloween night.

Well, sure, moving it to another neighborhood isn't ideal, but neither is leaving it where it is in the Castro. In EITHER scenario, some neighborhood's residents get terrorized. What happened to plans to have the Black Eyed Peas perform? I thought Fergie and Will-I-Am were going to save the day!

OK OK you guys are a lot more fun than I am. (* pouts *) Can my cranky score be reduced if I profess my love of all things zombie?

I would more like to think of it as a "Practical Zone"

Mattymatt gets 1,000,000 points for the use of Zardoz so effectively when talking about Halloween. I would have gone for a 28 weeks later analogy, but that's just because I saw it last night. :-)

We believe that the only possible solution is to evolve to a dystopian future in which the human population is divided into the immortal "Eternals," mortal "Brutals," and a religious warrior class called the "Exterminators" who kill and terrorize other Brutals at the orders of a huge flying stone head called Zardoz. Obviously.

I've hear lots of people whining about Halloween, from all different viewpoints, and now SFist gets in the act. The one thing I never hear, tho, is any alternative to the proposal that people are whining about. You are correct that Halloween has turned ugly and violent (a reflection of our society as a whole), but what is YOUR solution?
