No disrespect intended towards the Halloween enthusiasts out there, but I'm really wondering when Halloween became a holiday important enough to warrant entire table settings. 

I always knew Halloween to be a day when kids dressed up and went trick-or-treating... perhaps an evening costume party for adults, but I can't imagine needing a Halloween themed table setting.  

Again, I mean no disrespect with this question. I would really like to know how these items are being used. I must be missing something.

Just more junk to sell.  Probably trying to convince grandparents that their grandchildren will love it.

Many people have costume parties or perhaps have children who get a kick out if the tableware.  If they didn't sell it, it wouldn't be manufactured.

I wondered the same thing @house_cat . The only thing I thought of was a true Halloween party or I know some people like to decorate for each holiday in home. I loved some of the Temptations pieces but I would never use it either.

It would be cute if I were having a Halloween get together.  Some people go all out for Halloween as some people do for for Christmas or Easter.

I have family members and friends who go all out for Halloween, and since it takes quite awhile to put up all the decorations and since they enjoy everything so much, they celebrate for at least a week. I'm sure some of them have Halloween tableware (I know they have many serving/entertaining pieces), but most of the stuff from Temp-tations is too cartoony for anyone I know. Even those who do a fun Halloween instead of a scary one don't like all the little characters on everything, though they have picked up the occasional ramekin or bowl in the plainer Boo-fetti pattern.

I think everyone is entitled to do what makes them happy. Although my only Halloween decorations are a black pumpkin and a vase of faux black calla lilies that get set up for a day or maybe two, I go absolutely crazy with pumpkins everywhere from Labor Day weekend through Black Friday, so I can't judge too much.

I've heard that Halloween has become a big holiday among many adults.  A very big decorating holiday now, for sure, in many places.  Not sure about tableware.

I'm sure it's fun for some.  Cute to look at.

It never appealed to me.

I used to love to go all out decorating for Halloween - inside and out.  But I've cut down over the last couple of years. I gave a lot away.  I used to look for Halloween dishes to display in my hutch but never did find ones I liked.  And no longer interested.   The Temptations Boo-fetti is cute.

Have you ever seen the Grandinroad Halloween catalog?  Wow!  Some people apparently go way, way, way out for Halloween.
