Mum not coming on Halloween - irked?

My mum has just let me know she’s having her hair done on Thursday evening next week so she won’t be coming over to ours to go trick or treating and watch a spooky movie with the kids (8, 10, 12). I’m slightly irritated by this as I thought it would have been nice to have a family night dressed up and go round taking the kids trick or treating.
I’ve allowed older DS to bring a friend over to come with us so it won’t be so empty but I just found it a bit selfish for a Nan to not want to spend Halloween with the grandkids! AIBU?

Wouldn’t have thought of involving Granny in Halloween.
Maybe it didn’t occur to her, either? Did you invite her?

I wouldn’t prioritise Halloween as it’s bs.

Are you serious?

You are being unreasonable. I can’t imagine Halloween is very interesting for her and it’s pretty irrelevant
