I'm sorryâ I'm having a little trouble making sense out of your conveniently selective views: a man who imposes everyone to conform to his incongruently sugar-coated vision of Halloween is berating folks for being 'PC' about the senseless violence he'd inflict on anyone who isn't rehearsed nor compliant to his vision.
You plan on telling the rest of the world to stop dressing up like witches and vampires because you are too oblivious a parent to find a venue whose level of thrills best fits your daughter? Want to call those folks stupid or deranged because you weigh the net gain of sweets more important than seeking out those better-suited functions instead?
"I want it all, I want it brought to me without thought nor effort on my part— and I will hurt you if you don't do it with a smile!" Yes. Responsible parenting.
And do you honestly think that you'd improve your childrens' experience of Halloween by blindly trudging up to a haunted manor and bringing them face-to-face with a ghoul, then start a fight with a stranger because of your stunning lack of reason and observation?
And since you seem to relish the thought of putting an unsuspecting homeowner to the hospital, let me remind you of thisâ the person at the door may be entertaining his own somewhat pessimistic scenarios for Halloween night: namely, being accosted at his door by full-grown hooligans in masks who will beat him up and storm his home. He may not take to your assault too wellâ nor futily, for that matter.

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
