How Will You Celebrate Halloween This Year?
Front-Ranger:
Since my friends and I will be going to Young Frankenstein on Saturday, we are thinking of dressing up as Frankenstein, the Monster, and Inga or the fiance on Friday at a costume party.

We don't really celebrate Halloween over here. To us, it's more of a commercial thing that came over from the US, like Valentine's day. The shops are nicely decorated and our local bakery now has chocolates witches on sale, so I'm not complaining. ;D
In my village there is a tradition of a 'witches walk' through the woods on the last Saturday before November 1st. I think it's the 30th time it's been organised this year.
20 groups of about 30 people go on a 2h30min walk in the woods after dark with a guide. No lights are allowed. And along this walk you'll meet all sorts of weird and scary creatures and stories are told about the underworld where the witches live. There are even witches on horseback galloping through the woods in the pitch dark. Very scary and impressing. Although I had to laugh last year when my oldest daughter actually recognised one of the horses from the stables where we go riding! LOL
My husband will be a guide again this year. It's his third year and he'll be dressed as a monk. ::) It's a fun way to spend a Saturday evening. I'm hoping for good weather.

Oh, the Witches Walk sounds like FUN! And spooky! I'd love it! :D
Do they celebrate St. Maarten's Day in Belgium Fabienne?

I'd like to watch a scary movie and go out latter. But I've seen most scary movies. Don't care the for gore fest film of the 1980's thru present day. I think Rosemary's Baby is one of my favorites horror pictures though not terribly scary. The orginal version of The Haunting was also quite good. I've seen all the Hammer Films. An American Werewolf in London I've seen way too many times.
Anyone have any suggestions. ???

I had read that Halloween was starting to catch on in Sweden, but that ppl were becoming concerned about the Americanization of their culture and so it was dying out. Was this ever the case in Belgium?
