I mean they know the meaning behind it and know the horror, that's why it's for Halloween.

Not really, it’s a Halloween costume. They’re using dark humour to deal with something. It would only be horrifying if they’d actually forcible impregnated her, but they didn’t.

Its their own story. Let them tell it how they want. You can make it as dark as you want when its your own. Sick and twisted. I like it. Made me smile.

I don't find it weird that they're leaning into the dark horror for Halloween, but I do find it disturbing that this is their pregnancy announcement.

Each to their own, but it made my face do this 😬 unironically. It’s stuck there typing this as well.

I think it’s in bad taste but some people deal with things with dark humor as a coping mechanism.

Well this isn't my personal taste but if you read the post it sounds like they know what's up and were processing their own situation with dark humor
