Seeing as how my place of work said "not a drop of fake blood, and no dark makeup" I feel rather jealous of the freedom of GD's workplace.  Such is the life of a public desk jockey.  Someone actually said "we don't want to scare the kids!" 
I really don't care about hairy-ass-revealing costumes and fake boobs showing.  I thought it was hilarious when GD told me about it.  But I didn't see it so I can't judge, I guess....though I tend to dig over-the-top Halloween freakiness.
Years ago, I went to work as a wrist slasher.  Good times.
