A friend of mine in the U.K. reported she had 15 trick-or-treaters Sunday night, so Halloween seems to be catching on there too.
When I was over there in October 1999, it was sort of half-hearted. But we did manage to find a cardboard skeleton at a grocery store, which I needed for my Second Piltdown Man Hoax photo.
I wonder why in the 21st century Halloween is becoming more popular in Europe? I would wager in all seriousness that a lot of it is because of the popularity of THE SIMPSONS overseas, and the yearly injection of now 16 Halloween specials from it. It's had a cumulative effect, planted a seed in people's heads.
Meanwhile, I only had 13 trick-or-treaters tonight, usually I have twice that!
