Quite the opposite, actually — they’re going to hit you harder, making Halloween haunted in a completely new sense.
Our Bored Panda team gathered many such instances below, in the spirit of the spookiest day of the year. It’s all just a scroll away!
But be warned — bad luck might be contagious. *Insert evil witch giggle here.*

#40 My Neighbors Have Put Up Their Christmas Lights, Just In Time For Halloween
I literally took this picture right before I posted this. This couple lives right across the street from me.
This isn't all of the lights, BTW. Last Halloween they were sitting on a bench, with all the Christmas lights passing out candy to trick or treaters...and had them on every night until the end of the year.
If I had the money, I'd get a inflatable Santa and a Turkey. Put the turkey sitting on Santa holding a sign that says "Wait your turn, Old man".
