Hmm, going to assume it's a bigger deal in the USA
Has it always been like this? When I was growing up (late 80s and 90s) Halloween was a non-event until basically the day itself, then that night, people wouuld dress up either for low key parties of trick or treating.
These days it is a bit more commercial - my local supermarket will start pushing it in October, but nobody will do any decorating of their home until maybe a few days beforehand. And it's not like Christmas where most houses are decorated, here it's like the odd house on every street will put some pumpkins out or something.
ETA: I live down a long dark, spooky-*kitten* looking drive in the English countryside, and seldom get any trick or treaters. I can't speak for how popular the event is in other parts of the country.

“Tracking”….what are you talking about?3 -
isn't it a bit early for Halloween decorations?
It’s early imo. I’ve seen a few houses though. I feel like covid REALLY made Halloween decorations come out earlier. Could be a coincidence but it seemed like people were looking for a distraction and some still do it really early. I don’t decorate super early for anything. And I don’t put anything out except the pumpkins my kids carve.1 -
My brother puts his tree up on Halloween usually.💀2

I don’t put any Halloween decorations out. 😳 I’m awful,
I don’t do Halloween at all.
I’m awful, I know.
I put pre-lit wreaths out for Christmas, normally around Dec 15.
Such a scrooge. 🥸
When my son was young/at home I went all out.

We might be a little late this year because we’re making all of our own decorations. The skeletons take the longest timeisn't it a bit early for Halloween decorations?

We/I didn’t celebrate Halloween for many years because my religion prohibited it. We enjoy it so much now.

Growing up there were maybe one or two houses that would decorate and we thought they were weird.
Nowadays I kinda feel like it's a non denominational day that everyone, save for a few, can celebrate and I think that's why people got more into decorating. I always wait for my boy to help decorate so we usually end up doing it like 2 days before Halloween cause he has more important things to do like video games. We'll be in a new house this year so I have no idea what the area will be like....we have some 2 blocks away on our current street that go all out....like one year did "The Great White North" a parody tv show...it was very well done complete with street hockey on roller blades2 -

You can teleport BUT your worldly possessions don’t so you literally show up everywhere naked and without your wallet and phone.
Your can grow wings and fly BUT it’s stupid painful and time consuming.
You have retractable claws BUT you can’t paint or decorate them 😢 and one of them is janky and you snag it on stuff all the time (drew this inspo from my cat with a janky claw)
👹 like those stories about deals with the devil or genies and they always screw up your wishes. 🧞♂️2
