I think the majority of people in the U.K. just ignore it tbh. I don’t know anyone who does anything for Halloween.I miss Halloween. I'm a goth at heart so it's the event that would appeal to me the most out of all of them but being in the UK, we don't really do much for it as a nation. People over here just see it as a reason to dress up and get drunk and then it's over. Does anyone else do anything for Halloween?
Yes. By tradition, I toilet paper my neighbors houses and trees dressed like Michael Myers every year. (I do use three -ply toilet paper, only the good stuff, so it doesn’t rip when I’m throwing it.) I’m 35 and a child at heart. But proud of it!I miss Halloween.

Some Scottish kids still do guising, which entails the kids doing some sort of performance, usually a joke, for their candy. The US-style Halloween does seem to be making inroads though.I miss Halloween.

The UK is still burning the guy in effigy. Talk about spite......
Mind you we weren't really that bothered as it was only a week away from the main event - Guy Fawkes night (5th Nov) which was always fantastic, unless you were a nervous dog...
I'm in the UK and I do something on Halloween night every year. Ignore the door bell.I think the majority of people in the U.K. just ignore it tbh. I don’t know anyone who does anything for Halloween.

For safe side in this pandemic situation we should not take any risks with ourselves and our loved ones health. So stay at your places, this is really an good idea to read books and watch your favorite movies with you family and friends.
Thanks for the unsolicited advice. While Halloween is not a thing where I live, my wife and I (both fully vaccinated) will be out in society as we are daily, living our lives. Enjoy your basement hideaway.For safe side in this pandemic situation we should not take any risks with ourselves and our loved ones health.

Your describing my normal life!People are still on the “stay at home and don’t go anywhere because you’ll catch Covid” train? I thought the vaccine was suppose to allow us to live a normal life again?
Just ignore it like all holidays? Fortunately where we live now no one comes knocking which is a big improvement on where we used to live. Trick or treat? Why not call it what it is. Unsolicited begging.What are your plans for Halloween? are you gonna trick or treat or are you gonna stay inside and watch & Read movies and books
