Its' all part of the desensitization process. It's important to kids, especially in this day in age. You've seen one two headed demented baby, you've seen them all.
Seriously, Halloween probably is getting scarier in some places, and for some people, but all of society is like that, pushing past boundaries and censorship. Look at TV today compared to the 80's, or the 60's. Or how much kids swear today compared than before.
Not saying the parents were wrong to do this, or I wouldn't help them out if I knew their kid, just saying, in the grand scheme of things, it's probably makes no difference either way.
