Halloween originated in Europe, of course. The modern holiday, with its deeply commercial aspects and trick-or-treating, has become a staple in nations such as the United States, with a projected $12 billion USD spend on the holiday this year.
Could you please share what Halloween is like in your own country? Is it a huge deal – or celebrated only in isolated pockets? Do people settle into “spooky season” with scary movies and the like, or enjoy Halloween parties? Does the holiday focus more on fun impishness – like dressing like characters from “The Office” – or more scary creatures like vampires and werewolves?
Thanks very much! I’m eager to learn about the holiday’s adoption (or lack thereof) in nations across Europe. Cheers.
