>>288484I'm from Ireland too. I used to love the ceremony of cutting up a barmbrack to see who would get the ring, even though I absolutely hated the taste of it. (wiki link for context:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barmbrack)
Fireworks are illegal here but they get smuggled in around Halloween and New Years. They always start going off wayyy before Halloween though. I saw the first ones of the season tonight.

>>288524I usually don't like super common costumes but this one is actually pretty cute and well executed
Every Halloween I eat candy and watch the Classic Disney Halloween trio; Hocus Pocus, Under Wraps, and Halloweentown. Along with actual spooky movies like the original 1978 Halloween.
I hope to do something fun with my bf this year, because last year I accidentally slept through Halloween and he had to work.
Sometimes I do wish I could throw a small Halloween party and make all those cute Halloween themed treats you see on pinterest and shit but I don't think I'd be a very good host and I only have like my bf and best friend to invite lmao.

We don't really celebrate halloween in my country, but we have a couple of costume parties around that time so I'm hoping I get to go this year.
My birthday is also on 31st so I hold a small party for my friends with spooky music and as many halloween decorations as I can find in dollar stores and stuff. We mostly just eat and get drunk tho.
I'm a cosplayer and a goth, but I rarely ever wear a costume. Mostly halloween is an excuse for me to wear my more OTT and obnoxious pieces like full on gothic lolita coords, period clothing or cyber gear. So I think my costume this year will be "drunk vampire" as usual. I just attach those plastic aliexpress costume "bloodbags" to my skirt. It's a good way to smuggle booze into clubs also lmao.

>>288591Autumn traditions around the world, including from the southern hemisphere are on topic, as are any holidays or festivals concerning the dead, spirits or supernatural creatures regardless of the time of year they take place.
For instance:
Dia de los Muertos
Festa della Befana
Walpurgis Night
Hop-tu-Naa
Obon
Gai Jatra
Yu Lan, or the Hungry Ghost Festival
Fed Gede
Mari Lwyd
All Souls Day
Bonfire Night

>>290062>All Souls DayAll Saints' Day is actually closer to Halloween as it's the day after. All Souls' day is 2 november.
It has nothing to do with dressing up or candy though but more with remembering the dead and visiting graves. It used to be a pretty boring holiday for kids (full of grave visiting) until the last years we're getting more influence from the US.

Ok so, I usually go all out for Halloween but have been feeling burnt out from work. Still want to dress up as something simple, was thinking of getting this jacket and a pink wig and being Momokun.
The cost of the jacket is way less than my usual materials I buy. What y’all think?

>>306273I'm a friendless shut in and I celebrate Halloween by carving a pumpkin, - the first jack-o-lanterns were carved from turnips if you can't get pumpkins in your country - making seasonal crafts, decorating my house, watching comfy, spooky kids movies like Paranorman and Coraline, burning autumnal scented candles, drinking tea or hot chocolate and eating sweets. It can still be fun by yourself!

>>307845I love it too. I don't know if you've seen Over the Garden Wall but it's nice and gets the autumn feels down well in my opinion.
Anyway, all October I only watch horror movies and read horror books (basically a ton of Stephen King). On Halloween my husband and I carve pumpkins and since this is the first time we're in a house I hope we get some trick-or-treaters coming by.
I kind of want to do a costume like the kid in front, both because I like old Halloween imagery and because I'm cheap/lazy and have a lot of burlap fabric hanging around. Plus I feel like there's a strange eeriness to costumes like that.

This year I am tired of not celebrating Halloween, since it's not common here, so I'm hosting a party for about 50 persons. I hope it all goes well.
Initially I thought of dressing up as a nechromancer widow and my bf would be my zombie husband (I would resurrect him after the murder because I missed him, lol) but bf didn't quite liked the idea, so we're going out as Hell King and Queen or something

But then he got to help carve the pumpkin and was utterly fascinated by the Jack o lantern. Was fun to see.
