It’s spooky season—a time for fun, scares, and a bit of darkness. During this time of year, we expect to see creepy decorations everywhere. It’s not yet time for the cheerful holiday season.
However, just because Halloween is near doesn’t mean we can’t show kindness. One Halloween fan shared this message in a TikTok video that has since gone viral.
Salena Webb loves Halloween. She is a mother of four from South Carolina, and like many others, she celebrates by decorating her yard with Halloween items. Salena created a whole graveyard scene in her front yard, complete with ghosts, spiderwebs, pumpkins, a witch, tombstones, and skeletons carrying a casket. It took a lot of time to set up the display. But when her neighbor came to ask her to take it down, she agreed.
Her neighbor asked her to remove some decorations to make things easier for his elderly father.
Salena shared the moment her neighbor visited her to make the request in a TikTok video. In the video, the neighbor explains, “Hey, I know you’re celebrating Halloween. My dad just got diagnosed with lung cancer. He thinks the decorations are a bit scary.” He then points to the graveyard scene and asks, “Would you mind taking just the casket out?”
Salena felt sympathetic right away. Since her neighbor’s dad often spends time in his garage, which faces her yard, she understood why removing the casket was important. “I didn’t want to be a reminder of what could happen if he doesn’t beat cancer,” she told Insider. “I didn’t want to add stress to someone else’s life.”
Salena removed the casket and gave the skeletons badminton rackets instead. She moved the more scary decorations to her backyard. “I was a little sad at first,” Salena wrote in her TikTok caption, “But I realized that taking away the casket wouldn’t hurt me, but it might help my neighbor feel better as he deals with this news. Kindness is free, and compassion goes a long way.”
Many people praised Salena for her kindness. She posted the video and asked her followers what they would have done in her situation. While some said they wouldn’t have taken down their decorations, many praised Salena for her compassion.
“Now this is what being a good neighbor is all about. Kindness doesn’t cost anything. Thank you!” one user commented.
Another person wrote, “This was beautifully handled. The world needs more people like you! God bless you!”
Salena’s neighbor also appreciated her gesture. After she took down the casket, she brought him a card and some balloons. Even though there was a language barrier between them, she could tell he was thankful. He told her, “You’re good people.”
Megyn Kelly openly criticizes Robert De Niro, calling him “colossally stupid.”
Megyn Kelly has ‘destroyed’ Robert De Niro’s comments on the American people.. During an interview on “The Megyn Kelly Show,” she discussed the actor’s political activism and its potential impact.
Megyn Kelly recently criticized Robert De Niro’s political views on her show, “The Megyn Kelly Show.” She talked about how the actor often speaks out about American politics. Kelly also remembered an interview she did while working at Fox News, where De Niro first criticized Donald Trump during his campaign against Hillary Clinton.
Kelly wondered if De Niro’s activism really makes a difference, pointing out that his efforts didn’t stop Trump from winning in 2016. She asked, “If he couldn’t make a difference then, why does he think he can now?”
Recalling her time at Fox News, Kelly mentioned an exclusive interview where De Niro openly criticized Trump for the first time during his campaign against Hillary Clinton.
“We had Robert De Niro on camera in an exclusive rant about the ex president.” Kelly said. “It was the first time he’d really come out and said how he felt about politics. And we broke that on my show, when he ran against Hillary.”
Kelly questioned the effectiveness of De Niro’s efforts, pointing out that the actor’s involvement did not prevent the victory in 2016. “So if he couldn’t make any change in 2016 why does he think he can do it now?” she asked.
Her comments came after De Niro held a press conference expressing his love for the city and his fears about Trump’s potential to cause widespread destruction. “I love this city,” De Niro said. “I don’t want to destroy it. But they will destroy not only the city but the country, and eventually he could destroy the world.”
Kelly did not hold back in her criticism. “It’s so stupid it was colossally stupid,” she said. “If you’re going to send somebody to go speak there, make it someone who is universally beloved. Robert De Niro has gone so hard partisan for the past eight years he is like the number one example of Trump derangement syndrome.”
Kelly’s remarks highlight her view that De Niro’s strong partisan stance over the years makes him an ineffective choice for such a politically charged event.
