Yahoo News: Fewer babies born on Halloween

The New York Times: Chelsea Market Halloween display raises hackles as well as the dead

The Daily Republic: Halloween safety important, but some say irrational fears abound

What do you think -- are kids' Halloween costumes sexist? Is Halloween becoming a bummer because of parents' concerns about tooth decay, obesity and safety? Are displays becoming too scary? Should we (noooooo) change the date of Halloween so it always falls on a Saturday? Have safety fears gone overboard?

Leave your thoughts -- and other Halloween-related links -- in comments.
