Petition Action

Ban life-size halloween figures from being on display in standard retail stores.

Petition Details

I was visiting The Range retail store with my wife and children at the weekend. Upon entering the store we immediately noticed around five frightening, life-size halloween figures ahead of us. My younger children were visibly scared and shocked to be confronted by them.

Additional Information

This was far more extreme than the halloween displays that I have seen in the past, and feel that it is inappropriate in such a setting. If a shop sold halloween merchandise only, then I would be able to make sure that my children were kept away from the shop and thus avoid anything that might frighten them. However, having such a chilling display in a large store selling all manner of products is irresponsible, and gives no thought to how a child might react.
