Little kids dress up and go door to door looking for free candy. Older people party (some dressed up, some not).

I think the majority of answers will be pretty similar to this one.

In Ireland for children theres trick or treating and everyone else buys TONNES of fireworks and let them all of on halloween. Its pretty cool!

A party is a celebration, so you do cellebrate it.
To me halloween is another excuse to get increibly drunk with a hell of a lot of people, and then enjoy being the centre of attention as I prove to everyone what a dick I am.

My family stopped celebrating Halloween probably 6 or 7 years ago. That doesn't mean much now that I'm the only child still living at home for the time being. However, we may buy some candy (since it gets pretty cheap at the time) and go out to dinner to get away from it all.

[johnboy10]

in my country we get money candy and we buy fireworks

[RupeeClock]

Nobody actually gives a shit about halloween over here in the UK, but we still get kids looking for free candy.

It's all because of halloween specials made by americans and ported over here.

[DeIirium]

Not celebrated in my crappy country ...

[Krum]

All we get is like 13 year olds in shit costumes going around trying to score some cash. I mean, trick or treating has lost all meaning. I thought it was supposed to be sweets, but NO, they go around knocking on doors, standing there with their hands out waiting for money.

Well I for one am going to tell the first person that knocks on my door to GTFO, in the hope that no-one ever turns up at my door again.

Rant over.

There was absolutely no Halloween in my country, say, 10-15 years ago. However, now it has become a "trendy" new festival, popularized by American pop culture. Kind of weird, considering it's a tradition that's hundreds of years old.

There is no "official" Halloween in our country, and it certainly doesn't read on our calendars. However, always during the time Americans celebrate Halloween, tons of scary movies are shown on tv here, and witches, hags, skeletons and pumpkins suddenly become oddly seasonal.

suprisingly the majority didnt have the same response but yea this is done around here 2

[ZenOfAnger]

The younger kids go out trick or treating, the adults look after the kids or get on with their lives and the teenagers go out pranking, thats what I'm doing anyway.

[Jinzoa]

Halloweens great, gives me an excuse to dress up as stupid as i want and actually go outside.

still mine will probably consist of a night full of thai noodles and tofu until my mind goes mad off protien poisoning

[Paradox]

10-18 year olds rape their neighbours' privacy and steal the candy of those who need it for health reasons, but they don't have a choice.

[Rees303]

I dont think Halloween is the same as it used to be. I bet now if someone knocked on a door they would not awnser.

[Trambamboline]

I intent to dress as a zergling and chase my neighbor around screaming "Zergling rush!" Should be fun. :D

Pretty sad

[Crowler]

i live in Norway and all the stupid little kids run around trick or treating.
but when they come to my house i give them a lecture on how unneccesary halloween is and that we adopted it from america just so costume distributors can make more money. then they usually reply with: "huh?" then i tell them to piss off

[Thewolf4000]

Trick or Treat, Parties, Pranks. I like the way the I celebrate it.

[psycho-squirrel]

halloween in america is where the candy companies make big money.

[psycho-squirrel]

you know, its weird. other countries are starting to odopt some american traditions, however america doesnt seem that we want to adopt anyone elses traditions anymore. like we dont want any outside influences now, we just want to influence the outside.

any outside influences in this country are all kept in small parts of it. like Día de Los Muertos (day of the dead) which is a mexican tradition, is only in places near mexico...and really only seen in like southern california and usually only celebrated just by mexicans. some americans.....non-mexican americans, will comeout and check it out, but it basically is just celebrated by mexicans.

with all these diffrent culturs in this country, you would think we would start to kinda blend in with them.

[oldbinny]

'Trick of Treating' is not allowed in Britain, if the police catch you, you're in deep trouble.
Some people egg the 'Trick or Treaters' or go and do this thing called 'ghost hunting' and steal all the 'Trick or Treaters' sweets.

I just thing hallowe'en is a normal day.

Call me grumpy, I don't care.

[Starfox-Clock]

I shit on drives and repeadedly shout "IM THE POPE!!111"

[oddworth]

Little fat annoying beggers (or little kids) come knocking on out door and ask for sweet's. and some peaple party, and most annoying is that some peaple egg peaple's houses!

i hate my country...

Just about sums it up. Some go drinking, some go trick-or-treating, some don't do anything and some scare the shit out of people.

Like one person at my school I know, says that him and his friends went around scaring the shit out of kids. He told me about one or two things he claims to done but I'll just tell you about the best thing by far.

One of his friends was dressed up in a custom made suit. All black and crap. They even attached wings onto him. They then hung him upside down with 5 reels of invisible fishing wire on a lamp-post. His friend then closed his wings (like a bat) around him. He also had real (or fake) blood in his mouth (from a blood bank nearby) and a plastic fake severed arm.

Some 14 year olds came along and started asking each other "what the fuck is that?!". The friend then opened his wings and shouted or screamed (forgot whih one) really loud at them. Scared the living hell out of them. I even heard one of them shat himself litterly.

All three (the person I know and two of his friends) ended up getting arrested. The person I know was carrying a syth with a real sharp blade on it (because he was the grim reaper) and one of his friends' horse (because he was riding around on a horse) backed into a cop car.

That day, the police had been issued new experimental tazers. The second friend (the one that had prevouisly hung upside down and scared the children) was shot down with the tazer. He nearly fell on his head.

If this is true or not, I am unsure. Ether way, it was funny.

[Git]

Just another excuse for the kids to make trouble, yobs >:(

Myself, I treat as any other night - just tell the trick-or-treaters where to go...
