    • Halloween

      This isnt con related, but I'm just curious... what are everyone's ways of celebrating Halloween? I know people around the world celebrate in different ways, so I'm just curious about other Halloween traditions.
      For example in my city we light pumpkins and turnips on fire the night before halloween. It makes a, 'unique' scent...

      Nothing like a horror movie that does the same thing over and over and over, with new technology.

      I like to go out in town with my friends and scare off all the kids that think it's okay to steal candy off porches and vandalize decorations. Such a fun time. I usually bring my drone as well and can use the FLIR feature on it to completely catch them in the act Such fun times. I honestly cannot wait to do it again. We all start making our homemade gille suits at home around this time so we can find hideouts in the bushes around town so they don't know we are there till it's too late. lol

    • My halloween plans:
      • Watch a scary movie
      • Check into my CoN WWZ round(s)
      • Repeat
      Edit: maybe that's not my actual plan, but I guess I'm getting pumped for WWZ to start. This weekend me and my neighbors decorated the outside of our houses, we put up lights and some fake spiderwebs. @Flat Stanley I am also into the Michael Meyers series... can't wait for Halloween Ends to come out.

      If only we had the halloween swat team in our town lol



      My plans this halloween is the following

      - Watch Scary Movies With Friends

      - Sit outside houses and do some jumpscares haha. Feel so guilty and have so much fun at the same time on that one xD At least im teaching em how to jump high

      - Rest is just me and my friends doing random things for the rest of the day lol

    • The thing is, I think what the OP was trying to say is that Halloween is celebrated differently around the world, since different cultures merged their tranditions when Halloween (an Irish holiday) was introduced to them.

      The term "scary" has different meanings across different cultures as well. For example, dark horror (see image below) is entertaining to me, but other cultures might consider it biasphemous and terrifying.

      I know that in many countries, there's a practice known as Trick or Treating where children go to neighbor's houses and ask for candy, but in certain parts of Czechia there's a tradition called házení cukroví, where adults throw candy in the air and the children have to catch as much as they can.

      Many movies in the Western world use haunted houses or mansions as the setting. In certain Eastern countries, including Romania, Hungary and Croatia, these places actually exist.

      Also, many Halloween traditions also incorporate doctoring a fruit/vegetable. In the United States that vegetable is usually a pumpkin, but in Ireland they use turnips.

      Anyway, have a fun and safe October month!

    • In here we celebrate halloween in our homes and we also invite some friends, since some roads can be dangerous.


      My plans are:

      Steal candy.
      Steal candy.
      Steal candy.


      We make some nice games or either play video games, sometimes there is also nice cakes.


      And sometimes we make public parties with great fantasies, giving candies for free to degustation purposes, the roads get very agitated in these days.

      But my country has no original tradition, each family decides what they want to do for it, like a party, inviting close ones to their home and much more.

      Trick or threating however, can be very dangerous in my country as it's criminality rate in some areas are very high, and neighbours can take advantage of this to do illegal things.

      @Tifo_14 - What part of the USA is the Czech Republic in?

      Surely every other part of the planet celebrates holidays the same way we do here in the USA.

      Did the world even exist before 250 years ago?
      It is no longer the Czech Republic, it is called Czechia. It is also a country, but I think you were just being sarcastic.
