The shops are full of Halloween tat: masks, ghosts, skeletons, witches' hats, fake spider webs and so on - not to forget, of course, pumpkins (which we never normally see in our stores). When I was a child it was not 'a thing' but over the years we seem to have borrowed from the US and imported a lot of the drama. I'm not sure it's a good thing, given the amount of evil there is in the world as it is, but most people would argue it's 'just a bit of fun'.
I didn't need to buy any props. I found enough to scare me out on my walk! ;)
And here's the same photo that I showed earlier, taken in Hirst Woods, but given a radically different colour palette. Spooky or what?
These are great for the day.
