Halloween Coloring Pages

Last week, while I was talking to my little sister, she asked me to please print Halloween pumpkin coloring pages for her. I was a bit confused, but apparently her printer is broken, and she felt that I was the nearest printer available…despite the fact I am six states away. After her clear spelling of h-a-l-l-o-w-e-e-n-p-u-m-p-k-i-n-c-o-l-o-r-i-n-g-p-a-g-e-s to ensure I truly knew what she wanted, I proceeded to use google to complete what I thought would be an easy task. Why wouldn’t there be cute Halloween pumpkin coloring pages all over the internet? Why would I have to search through disturbing pictures filled with possible felonies occurring by masked characters? These thoughts never went through my mind in the beginning. Would they have gone through yours if you were asked to print h-a-l-l-o-w-e-e-n-p-u-m-p-k-i-n-c-o-l-o-r-i-n-g-p-a-g-e-s?
I am now going to describe some of the pictures I found when searching on the site I found. Let me start by saying, I thank God their printer was broken and I was the one googling this. Let’s start with something simple – say, a pumpkin growling (or looking like it’s growling) at a very fearful puppy sitting behind it. Now, why would you make the pumpkin growl? Why not have a picture of a pumpkin and a puppy? There were pictures of pumpkins and cats – in fact, they were the only appropriate pictures we could find. I get it’s Halloween and all, but is common for pumpkins to torture puppies at this time of the year? That however, was not really that bad. Next we saw a pair of Quaker characters standing on something that appeared to be gallows surrounded by unknown Halloween characters, that were clearly children. Now this was either some kind of play, or a KKK reenactment. Again, do you want your child (or sister) coloring a KKK reenactment? I was very confused. So I clicked for the next picture. There is no confusion anymore why there are people who are scared of clowns. Their parents used this website to print coloring pages when they were children. There were MASS amounts of creepy clown pictures. With and without balloons, pumpkins, or possibly scared puppies. When did clowns become a normal Halloween costume? I have never seen anyone dressed as a clown. Cheerleader – yes. Ghost – yes. Vampire even. But, that would have been better than these clowns. The face made the clown look like it was tricking me in some way. It would be the same face a stranger would use to get me into their car.
I am now going to move to the most disturbing picture in the bunch. Although there were multiple pictures that seemed to have some kind of sexual innuendo, no one can argue with me that this picture is a ghost about to rape a red riding hood walking through the woods. For those of you that are unable to use google, I pasted in this picture for you. Don’t think I’m lying – check it for yourself and tell me you’re not creeped out. It’s all in the face. Every picture had a creepy face . The ghost itself walking inappropriately close to the girl is one thing, but what’s up with the face?
If I wouldn’t have witnessed the rape scene, I would have rated this Plain. This was not worth the finger typing to get to this. I had to look through at least 20 creepy pictures to find 1, just 1, appropriate h-a-l-l-o-w-e-e-n-p-u-m-p-k-i-n-c-o-l-o-r-i-n-g-p-a-g-e-s. However, with the inclusion of the ghost rape scene, we have moved into a whole new realm. Since I do not have any ratings below plain, I am going to rate this as
