A little more sensitivity please?

I hate grotesque halloween decorations. You know the ones where the man repeatedly pulls his own head off and the like. Why do people feel the need to decorate their homes and businesses with these things? I personally would not like to wake daily to blood and guts in my family room. Sure, we decorate for halloween, but lean more towards the spooky and cutsy stuff. Spider webs, jackolanterns, cute witches and gravestones are our decs of choice. My littel Ava gets scared by the things she sees around town and for sale in stores, and I am disturbed by it. Who decided it was ok to put basically R rated, violent, gorey images and figures where everyone is subjected to them? Why do we even like these things? Think about what our society is doing; using cut up, bloody, mutilated images of people to celebrate halloween and calling it acceptable! I can't quite understand it. What is the draw? At the top of my gripe list about this is the veterens home. My mother works there, and we visited one day. They went over the top to decorate for the holiday. Many animated, noisy, disturbing statues dot the common area. On the windows and mirrors are bloody hand prints and blood drips. Come on, didn't any one consider the fact that these people are VETERENS? Meaning they fought in wars; they are confused any way and perhaps these so called decorations might be disturbing to these men and women who have very real memories of harmed human bodies. Not to mention that this place is their home; they don't get to go home at the end of the day and get away from this stuff. My mom says all of the decorations are loud and go off whenever someone walks by them, which as you can imagine in a home like that is quite often. At the end of her shift, she is very irritated by them. As my mom pointed out, in their generation they didn't do this sort of thing for halloween. I couldn't believe the insensitivity of whomever was given permission to decorate in this manner. So I ask, why? Why is it "fun" and "festive" to splash violent images around? On the same door you can see a garish halloween decoration in October, only to be relpaced with a manger scene in December. There is something wrong with this picture.
