The post garnered the support of several thousand Halloween lovers, who begin celebrations well ahead of the traditional time, all the way along with Baldwin.

The early spook absolutely goes to Ireland Baldwin! Child of actor parents Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, she declared on social media that from August 1st onwards it is Halloween time for her. She posted a video featuring all her decorating activities, including the bats she has hung on her door.
The best bit was the thrilling improvised commentary. In describing his decorating, Ireland says a bat in ‘ambience’ would be struggling to get to sleep watching her. She let the baffled creature say, “Are you all seeing this shit? Oh god. Here she goes.” She went on to include all the spiders across the nation, “I know this woman does not have the audacity to put up those fake webs she ordered on Amazon after having an exterminator come out here last week tearing down our shit.”
The post was a testament to some huge community of early Halloween enthusiasts. The comment section soon filled with supporters sharing in her long-season spirit. One commenter, silverwhitewitch13 declared, “Me too 👻🎃 & it’s My Wedding Anniversary 1year 🧡🖤.” Another commenter, sassypan81, said, “Me too 👏 I have all my Halloween decor up already 🧡🎃🧡.”
Others took the comedic route. User sarah_rooker laid it out brilliantly: “The commentary is brilliant 😂,” followed by kellylively07’s “😂😂😂 this was hilarious 🤣.” The seriousness of those die-hard fans is staggering. francescagoldenheart said, “I’ve never took my Halloween decorations down. I just love them too much.”
One more went in a practical direction, far from folklore: “Paint your porch ceiling haint blue. It’s a natural repellent for spiders and insects. It was believed in the south to ward off ghosts and evil spirits away,” wrote shellymurphy222. This reminds many of Baldwin’s journey with motherhood as she navigates the challenges of parenting alongside her creative pursuits.
According to the overwhelming reaction to Baldwin’s post, she is not at all alone in stretching the Halloween spirit. Not for any pumpkin, bat, or fake cobweb wants to remain trapped inside the rational mind of a dedicated few for a single month of the year. It is perhaps a state of mind that can comfortably begin in the heart of summer, much to the ill-fated chagrin of the local wildlife. Ireland’s early celebration has successfully brought together a whole community of enthusiasts who are more than ready for the spooky season, regardless of the date on the calendar.
