I have three boys ages 8, 10, and 12 who have a great time with the scary stuff. Prudie, the kids on our street are a wide variety of ages, with the vast majority of the kids being 8 or older. They still will barely speak to any of us who decorated using anything “scary” to a 5-year-old. They also said they hoped that we would refrain from the frightening decorations since we now knew they upset their daughter. They said she wouldn’t sleep with the light off for a month after our “horrifying” decorations “scared the daylights” out of their little girl. The angry neighbors across the street have a 5-year-old daughter. None of the decorations are over-the-top blood and guts, but the standard Halloween fare.
We really do go for the more ghoulish decorating and have a lot of fun with it! What’s Halloween without the fog machines, scary music (not loud), ghosts, and gruesome decor? The neighbors on either side of us have joined the fun and put up quite a display themselves. Last year one of our neighbors was really ticked off about our Halloween decorations being too scary. I hope you two are able to stay there until you’re old, too. You’ve lived here peacefully for years, you and your future wife both love it there, and no one else has stopped in front of your yard, lifted a trembling finger to your front door, and whispered, “That’s it … that’s the murder house.” I don’t think you’re withholding important information from your partner, and I don’t think your property has had an unusual relationship to death. But all you have is a gossip-y neighbor and the vague intimation that a long time ago he didn’t like the family who used to rent your house.
The whole planet is a grave of everyone who has ever lived before you! (I realize this makes me sound like a Cure song, but you know what I mean.) If the most recent owner of the house had been brutally murdered three weeks before you bought the place, and the killer were still on the loose, you might have grounds to say something to your fiancée and the realtor who sold you the place.
You have, almost certainly, at one point or another been inside of a building someone else once died in. I don’t want to creep you out unnecessarily, but my guess is that most houses of a certain age have seen at least one death within their walls. I’m not sure what you would tell your partner, if you decided to.
