1. Halloween candy. If I buy the good stuff, it's gone in an hour. If I buy the cheap stuff, nobody comes to my door and I have 95 pounds of cheap candy leftover that I have to eat.
2. Candy corn. I don't like it. Invariably, if I buy it, nobody will eat it and I will have it leftover. Since I only tolerate the orange parts, it's tricky to eat.
3. Halloween is scary. I don't like or do scary. Why? It's scary!
4. Trick or treating. It's part of the scary part. Because I believe if I don't treat every child that rings my doorbell, I will have 2-year-olds leaving dirty diapers on my doorstep.
5. Costumes. The ones in the store are overpriced. My sewing skills consist of Elmers glue and a stapler. So basically, my go-to outfits would be (a) ghost (as long as I have a white sheet), (b) hobo (just a quick rummage through the dirty clothes), or (c) business person (choosing which of Steve's suits needs to go to the cleaners next).
6. Pumpkins. I am firmly against the needless slaughter of pumpkins for carving. Especially if you can buy a plastic one at the store. Which may or may not have Mickey ears already on it.
I would list more, but I think you get the picture. I am the Grinch of Halloween. But no matter. I'll still have the chocolate ready if you ring my doorbell!!
