When did we make the jump from "spooky harvest time" and "yearly cycle of death and rebirth" to full blown "grisly murder scene"?

This stuff is just trashy.

Looks to me like a Stranger Things reference

100% agree. I first starting seeing the fake bloody dismembered feet and hands wrapped in supermarket meat packaging around 15 or so years ago at the popup Halloween stores. Mummies and ghouls are one thing, but glorified carnage is too much.

I anticipate that this comment will be hidden with downvotes.

We were doing this in our neighborhoods in the 90s. Definitely much further back than 15 years ago, but we also had Halloween Outlet so we had ample resources to do it big.

Well before I was born in the 80s. Shit like this has always been a part of the halloweens I remember.
