I hope the OP is joking. But I think it's important for young children to see things like this. Then they will know that monsters aren't real, since they are something that adults can joke about.

Good grief if we can't have a little bit of humor once in awhile!
It does amaze me how ridiculous some take the holiday and ceremonies surrounding it as something "Evil". In fact, the name Halloween literally means "All Hallows Eve" which happened the evening of All Saints Day. How the heck some fundamentalists get their panites in a knot about it is beyond me.
So yes, I'm poking a bit fun at those who get all wound up, and thought most of us, no matter what the perspectives on religion, can enjoy this.
By the way, the song by Peter Fox is named "Schüttel deinen Speck", which literally means "Shake your bacon".
You can read the translation for yourself here. The song definitely is ribald.

I understood you were just making fun of religious people. And yes, there are ultra conservative folks that cringe at any form of Halloween celebration. Personally..just not my thing. But I'm not going to assume that anyone and everyone that dresses as a witch or other scary thing is devoting themselves to Satan.

I give you credit for showing the "Nice" part of your status line rather than the "Codger" part.

I didn't see anything in his post "making fun of religious people." He was showing how ridiculous it is when "some take the holiday and ceremonies surrounding it as something "Evil". If you are religious and you think Halloween is evil, then it means you. If you aren't religious and you think Halloween is evil, then it means you. If you don't think Halloween is evil, then it doesn't mean you.

Right. on the religion forum he is poking fun at "whoever". Kind of a weak defense of it there.
In any event, as I said...I realize it was an attempt at good-natured humor. I'm not going to whine about it..just making an observation.
Hag witches are of the German origin ... Then there are probably demons dancing with these hags
