    But in the US it’s a major event that’s ALL of October now. It’s a whole other level. Walk into CVS or Walgreens (equivalent of Boots) and there’s a wall of Halloween merch right inside the entrance.

    Or maybe the UK is the same now? After all, it has Black Friday sales.

      even in my lifetime the Americanisation of halloween has been really weird, it’s obviously a lot more commercialised, but also nobody calls it guising anymore it’s honestly kinda depressing since a lot of our traditions have just been replaced with american ones
