As an avid horror fan, Halloween is a great time of the year. It is also my g/fs favourite "holiday" as she is goth through and through (if you cut her in half it would probably say "GOTH" in rings through her like seaside rock!).
The problem seems to be with the kids.
On Saturday, we went to a local council funded event in a local park. There was music, street dancing displays (cue multiple plays of Thriller and the like), bouncy castle, scary tents, fire eater and fire jugglers, a games tent and a firework display. All for free. Which was good.
Although they wanted £2 for 10 minutes on the bouncy castle (which I paid but choked back insults at the same time).
My youngest was dressed as a Mummy and the other as a witch. Both are small in stature, so most of the displays in front of the bandstand were lost on them as they could only see them if we stood on the hill and then everything was too far away. I could likely have done better in a large garage. All in all - it was a bit shit (apart from the fireworks - IMHO) but it being free made it better.
But the kids loved it! Whenever we organise something truly brilliant that has cost a fortune, they display a deep seated sense of ennui about the whole situation. Give them something completely worthless and wholly shite - they love it!
Maybe its all to do with being a kid and that vivid imagination that can make the worst things seem interesting or exciting. Or maybe its just me being excited about entirely the wrong things...
