I wish Denmark celebrated Halloween :-/ ... It's slowly picking up though. Every year, the stores sell more and more Halloween stuff.
But compared to USA, this is practically nothing. People don't really go out to trick or treat, and from what I read, in Denmark, trick or treating is incredibly lame. For example, this one lady was complaining about teenagers had come to her door, not even wearing any costumes, saying: "Treat or money".
Yea... They kinda butchered that thing, huh? Although we do have a direct translation for "trick or treat" people decided it should be "treat or money" instead.
But it may also have to do a lot with our older tradition, 'Fastelavn'. Which is essentially Halloween only in February and without all the scary crap(although, some people do dress up as scary stuff). It's more like princesses, kings, cats, mutant ninja turtles and stuff like that. During this holiday, people go out 'singing' for money. so yea.
Anyway, I really wish Halloween would be big in Denmark too. I find it a cute tradition, and I like horror stuff. And I carved pumpkins for the first time in my life with Chris, and that was fun.
Well, Chris was with my here in DK during Halloween(he just jumped on the plane back to USA today, and I already miss him
).
We watched a bunch of horror movies like Evil dead 1 and 2, drag me to hell(funny movie) and 'Trick'r treat". Trick'r Treat was actually quite enjoyable and fun, and I'd recommend it. It's a bunch of mini stories, but they are all connected in some ways. It has vampires, ghost/zombie thingies and everything that is basically Halloween.
It's based on some short cartoon of the same name.
Oh well... Not much happened as you see. Hopefully I can go to USA next time it's Halloween and experience it in its full glory =)
I'm a consumer whore.
