Only Canada and the United States celebrate Halloween who do trick and treating...no other country, not even westernized ones, celebrate it. That's why Halloween movies are so rare and aren't often made for worldwide theatrical release because it wouldn't be so popular in international countries.. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ee/95/4e/ee954eb78be3269b0f6ab17fb34d0b7e--disney-halloween-happy-halloween.jpg --- call me mrduckbear, sweater monkeys.

Halloween is catching on in Australia, it's a lot more present than it used to be.

Given that it's not true, most people wouldn't know it.
Full Throttle posted... It's true. It's actually not true. Full Throttle posted... Only Canada and the United States celebrate Halloween who do trick and treating...no other country, not even westernized ones, celebrate it. https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/uk/halloween https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-halloween-has-taken-over-england-180953211/ A lot of other countries also celebrate it. The idea that it's NA only is absolute rubbish. It might be a bigger thing in NA, but it's not solely a NA thing. Full Throttle posted... That's why Halloween movies are so rare and aren't often made for worldwide theatrical release because it wouldn't be so popular in international countries.. Also not true. Horror is generally a more niche market which is why horror movies tend to lag behind in terms of international releases. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...

Other countries are starting to do it and sell Halloween junk in stores but not to the same scale as US. Kids like free candy everywhere, apparently.

Halloween was a pretty big deal whenever I was there at the time in Ireland. Not like the US with treats, but a lot of people put up more traditional decorations and there was always a festival in my grandparents city.
It was Western Ireland though, which is a bit more "old school" when it comes to religion/tradition than, say, Dublin. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The fuck is this? Of course the UK has Halloween. I mean it originated as a Celtic harvest festival afterall.

Halloween is catching on in Australia, it's a lot more present than it used to be. which is odd as some people are trying to kill it here in the US. one city even stated saying "trick or treat" was threatening. --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"

Very ignorant claim. Don't make statements like that when you know nothing about a subject.
It may not be as big in Australia as in America or even Canada, but people here have Halloween parties & kids are tentatively starting to go out Trick or Treating. I personally love it & hope it continues to grow here. --- FC 1676-5013-9481. DC 6900-2771-8905. Peta & Janine of Venus.

Hallowe'en isn't celebrated here in Australia officially but in some areas it's gaining traction.
A recall one of my old teachers (who was from Britain) telling us how when he was a kid people (in the town that he lived in) asked for money on hallowe'en not candy.
