When I was about 10, I freaked out so bad in a haunted house, they turned on the lights, escorted me to the back where all the volunteers were gathered, and fed me donuts and hot cocoa till my group got through it 😆 A fan from Indiana 👍

Hi, morbid and weird here! I also take pictures of my sleeping husband. We are your people, whether you like it or not! I’m 38 and in my Umbreon costume tonight, I racked up a ton of free candy and it was fantastic! 10 out of 10 would recommend.
“You guys can go to damn”😂
"You two can go to Damn" LMAO
*When I was in 3rd grade, my Cub Scout troop went this very highly produced haunted house in Balboa Park in San Diego, that scared the crap out of us. Good thing they sprung for a Snoopy mascot at the end.*
Oh my gawd I laughed until I shrieked of tears watching this. Holy damn, omg. 🤣🤣🤣
5:39 ❤This is exactly how I felt on the Pirate ride in Disneyland. I thought the pirates had real guns and my mom wanted me dead. I was screaming “Whyyyyyyy? This is NOT the happiest place” I will never forget the terror. Parents don’t think young kids will get that !! 🫠🫣
Oh trust me I'm well aware I have trauma that I'm avoiding but it's unrelated to my love for Halloween
I totally believe you were traumatized because your stutter comes back when you are telling the details of the incident! 😢 You owe that best friend a little pay back 😏
I was born on October 3rd, so by a weird calendar fluke my birthday ALWAYS lands on the same day of the week as Halloween. If my birthday is on a Tuesday, Halloween will be on a Tuesday...you get the idea. So Halloween has always been MY holiday. Also, Halloween isn't always about being scared, you can embrace the fear and be the one doing the scaring!

Yeah, as someone who was also born in October (and was kind of a weird kid growing up), I loved Halloween, and to this day it's my favorite holiday. I never really minded "sharing my birthday" with Halloween, bc we'd always have Halloween-themed birthday parties (they were more like Halloween parties where we just happened to sing Happy Birthday) so to this day I have a lot of fond memories of Halloween, despite now living in a country that doesn't really celebrate it

You actually respond!! Brooooooo you are a legend
I'm so sorry you had to go through that! That's real shizzy of your dad. I've had far too many experiences than I'm comfortable with of family members trying to pressure me into going on roller coasters despite my obvious PHOBIA OF THEM! Thank goodness I was able to get out of it most of the time. Only over been on 1 big roller coaster in my life, Colossus at Six Flags, so a wooden one, and I'm never going on another roller coaster EVER AGAIN. It was just as bad as I imagined it. It was awful, feeling like I was gonna be launched into space and that was TERRIFYING. I was too scared into silence to even scream. Those family members can frick right off! 🤬 I love Halloween tho, but I wouldn't be like your dad.

My dad is the kind of guy that’ll scare you (jump out from the darkness, throw bugs at you, drop a book at the scariest part of a movie), and then laugh at you for being scared. Only with therapy have I learned to regain my emotions. All this to say that it gives me hope that at least they seemed to recognize when they went too far.
Bro I died laughing 😂 A haunted unhouse.
Drew never got the extra large free candy bars from the rich house down the road, how sad.
Your killing it Drew! I had the pleasure at meeting you in Modesto. Happy Halloween 😂

I don't like being scared either. I like the mild spooky styles and the candy but genuine scary stuff is something I can't take. One time when I was little we went to Disneyland and they took me to the Haunted Mansion. They didn't say it was the Haunted Mansion like from the movie that we had seen previously, no they just said haunted house and I immediately panicked and fought not to go in. It wasn't until we actually got inside and I recognized it that I realized what it was and I felt embarrassed.
I love being scared… but I don’t think my trauma has to do with it. Been to therapy since I was a child. I like the adrenaline and the realization I wasn’t really scared I just like the thrill of it. Also I’m a cusp, I’m not no bitch ass! Just a bitch 😅

At least it's accurate captioning, I guess. It didn't catch the "all the words AND none of the words are going to come out at the same time" block. That's what my talk to text looks like when I use it or it will spell phonetically on occasion b/c it's some sort of wiseguy. Nothing like sending your friend a reply that looks like: "I um I juust didn't know if you wanted to meet us there or if you wanted to ride to the mmm market with us first." I suppose in text you'd want to go to along to the market b/c it sounds like it has delicious things. Mmm 🙄 Thanks technology!

I spent every Halloween from 23 to 60 in high Drag singing in a tavern in SF. What’s even scarier is, it was my job (along with tending bar) 4 nights a week. I made great money anyway.😎-Stella Zafella 💋
Yyyyaaaassss!!! I hate Halloween 😂😂
I was just thinking about you.. 😮 earlier. It is really weird that you posted today. I was looking for your recent videos.. boom, a new one that's kinda creepy. Happy Halloween
Ahahaha! Isn't the truth always so funny. Even when it sucks. ❤
I'm so glad my mother doing this stuff to me so often didn't ruin my love of the holiday. Bitch even laughed while I cried so I feel ya.
Finally someone I agree with about Halloween
This from a man sitting on a banana with a crown? Although I do agree with you.😊
Skip the Tricks and get right to the Treats 😛
I loveeee Halloween all time favorite holiday, it's the one holiday you don't stress about, you don't have to buy stuff lol. And I guess I am weird because I like getting scared, I use to go to Haunted Houses all the time, one time my cousin and I went to one and I am scared of chain saws and this guy was chasing us and it was dark and we got lost so my cousin and I found a corner and just started crying lmao. But we did manage to get out. Halloween is not for everyone and that is okay. You do you!
I love Halloween always have
Without subtitles i hear "KZread can go to Dan".
Someone's a Deborah about Halloween 🎃 Happy Halloween from the past
good to see you bud
My nephew hates Halloween for similar reasons. He won't even trick or treat anymore. I love Halloween for the candy, the food, the fact that it's my new year's eve (I'm Pagan, baybeh) & my time to honor the people in my life who have died, I can buy black makeup easily, & the general ambiance. I like old school horror stuff, like The old Stephen King ones that people seem to hate, Godzilla, The Fly, & Wolfman movies. I can even do some more modern ones like Se7en & Thinner. I am not down with the scary shit though & I'm definitely not doing haunted houses & that nonsense. I startle easily & sometimes it can be dangerous b/c either my initial reaction is to freeze & then fight kicks in or I just have a full-on panic attack. Sometimes you get all of that at once. I can't even do what people tell me & "stay alert". ADHD doesn't play nice like that. My attention span was replaced by a roomba at birth & some days I'm oblivious to anything except what I'm focused on. Now, who did I marry? Horror & gore guy, of course. He loves all that scary crap. Ugh! My kids? They're kind of split. My oldest & middle kids (M) are ok with scary on different levels. My youngest (F) is not. My husband keeps bugging her to go to a haunted house with him & her response is always "if you force me to go, I'll cut you.". That's my girl! 😆 Oh & me = Scorpio/Sagittarius cusp. Im the last day of Scorpio. It explains a lot. 😅
When I was a kid growing up, Australia 🇦🇺 never even acknowledged Halloween 👻 So I have never done the trick or treat thing and nor do I like haunted houses or horror movies at all lmao 🤣 I’m a sook & would rather stay at home and watch some form of comedy or cartoons, than shit myself scared haha and I’m 50yrs old too lol 😂 Drew what’s your favourite cartoon and character? 🐭 And oh you are one very funny, talented and amazing young man too, love watching you 👌🤣😂
Almost the same thing happened to me! My family forced me through this haunted house and I’ve never been the same 😭 Edit: I’m so sorry you had to be traumatized at such a young age
I love Halloween 🎃
I’ve never liked haunted houses. I only like Halloween because of the candy
I know it happened a couple of decades ago, but I still just want to give you a big hug! Or dress up like a werewolf and say "It's okay."
Real
I just love to dress up and see people making fun of themselves. I don't even need candies. PS I wouldn't pay to get scared.
hi drew!!!!! COULD WE DO A PODCAST TOGETHER
This is hilarious and triggering my cptsd and I kinda like it.
😂😂😂
If you ever see the scarers again tell them you are still upset.
Last haunted house/trail I worked in, I had one big moment where I broke character. A guest had the brilliant idea to pull a gun on me. LOL JK THERE WASNT A GUN, JUST A SICK JOKE. They laughed at me for getting scared and I sobbed afterwards. Yeah needless to say I did NOT do anymore haunted houses after that. That was in South Carolina, we don’t take that shit lightly
I like halloween only for the candy
#1 love you drew
when i was in elementary school i went to a haunted house at a college and i kicked one of the people that was grabbing everyones ankles in the head i did not feel bad because they scared me first
TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF!!!
Where did you get the banana chair? Was it one of your wife's random projects?
I am avoiding a trauma and what of it
Hey drew big fan and yea uh im a five nights at freddy's fan that doesn't even get scared by it anymore yet i stick with it cuz i like it for other reasons aka story so am i weird
I am morbid and weird.
Right?!?!
Hello de fellow studera, any spelling mistakes i make will he left in, i have dyslexia and my tongue twitches when i try to make serten sounds, so this is difficult to write, the stutter is because my tongue twitches😅
How do you pronounce your name?
I’m one of the weirdos that would traumatize others, I promise I have had penance 😅
naw . i just love all thinhs odd and strange. lol go to a graveyard live a little lol lol
At least you can afford plenty of therapy nowadays 😅👀
Oh man the stutters getting worse as you speak about your trauma
Most kids I know (including my 71-year-old self) have been through what you describe. It is said that kids can be cruel. Not true. Kids are cruel. Surviving their cruelty is part of the rites of passage for young people. Your "best" friend was cruel and so was your dad. You will always meet people who are like this in your life. I recommend you remove them from your life. Also, I don't think it's Hallowe'en that you are angry at. I think it's those two people I named. I think a little bit of councelling might help you put this to bed.
I know why I like Halloween and scary stuff. When I was about 9, there was a huge snowstorm where I was. My parents thought it’d be funny to tell me to watch a movie with them. It was the Shining. I was unaware of the genre, and I very quickly got scared. I wanted to leave, but my parents said that I’d have to go by myself to bed. They’d turned off the lights upstairs because they knew I wouldn’t go alone if it was dark. So I watched that whole movie. To this day, I firmly believe that was one of the funniest things my parents did to me. It also made me get used to scary movies very early.
So frustrating to listen to this although he did it with humor. I don't get how people do stuff like this to their kids. If my kids don't want to do something I just respect them. I guess people think theyre making their kids more resilient by pushing them. I don't know.
Hmmmmmmm not landing well on this one

You say those that enjoy halloween have a trauma then go on to tell us you hate it because you literally have a trauma. Not to be too harsh but it seems thats a you problem. I hope you deal with your past trauma one day and can enjoy what everyone else enjoys.
Drew, this sit down format and these topics are unfunny. Halloween is not scary. You are weird and you do not get it.
Someone needs to tell you to your face that you need Jesus.
Let’s all just get a bunch of free candy (no dressing up) and watch a funny movie from the safety of our 🍌🪑and avoid Halloween from now on👍 I had similar experience with a haunted house at age 8 with my parents, big brother and cousins making me go first through a huge haunted house! Yeah I never went in one again. I don’t even like scary movies. Did you say your Dad and best friend could go over to the Hoover Dam?😂 I love your banannanana 🍌🪑
