1367 Halloween

Most of the larger supermarkets sell masks, Halloween related paperchains, and various plastic bits and pieces in the form of sleletons, pumpkins, witches etc so you should be able to find something. Real pumpkins are readily available as are ceramic or plastic ones with gruesome faces that can be lit up. Most towns do not seem to organise anything for the children, although Hallween is becoming bigger it is still far less of a thing than in the UK. Your children should be able to get into the spirit of things, have fun and scare off a few locals even if there is nothing official going on.
Happy Halloween

Thanks for that anne2. It will be our last night and will no doubt be eating at our friend Framco's in Ostuni. I'll get them dressed up anyway (oldest wont bother now), give em all a scare. :eek:

If the kids want to so "the spooky thing" then January is the time for Befana which is much more fun!

Halloween is far too American!

We're not there though in Jan, just halloween. :)

I could be wrong but I think Halloween was probably exported to America by the Celts. We certainly had big Halloween celebrations when I was a child in Scotland. It is celebrated in Italy, but is the American version (as opposed to the pagan variety of my youth!!)
