I noticed this weekend, that the Brits do Halloween just a bit different. In America... it's all about the build up. Decorations go up October 1st. There are haunted houses everywhere. The amusement parks get all decked out and pay actors dressed as ghouls and zombies running and hiding around the parks to give customers a proper fright. Comoe Halloween, it;s all about the parties and the trick-or-treating. People spend loads of money to get the best costume they can and party it out. But all of these activites have fixed dates. The fun starts October 1st, and people only where their costumes to trick-or-treat, or to attend the Halloween parties. There is no "Halloween Weekend." But here, I've noticed halloween-lovers Thursday to Saturday. There aren't very many decorations, but 2 nights in a row, I went out and saw people in costume!!! [I saw costumes on Saturday... November 1st!!!] So for all of the people who aren't ready for Halloween to end... here is a lovely mixtape from my favorite design blog. Enjoy!
