Re: what was halloween in England in the 90ties like/guising?
(Anonymous) 2014-05-02 12:01 am (UTC)(link)Context: lower middle class family, non-religious, not very well off, living in the suburbs/rural southern England.
Things everyone in my home village/town did for halloween: carved pumpkins and put them on the doorstep.
What my family specifically did: half-hearted trick or treating (a road or two). Some years a small party for kids. Costumes were usually home made (mostly bin bags made into witches outfits), decorations also home made. Food was a bigger thing - candy witches eyes, jellies with worms in, that kind of thing. Again, all home made. Biggest expense was usually face paints if you were going all out.
Some families didn't bother beyond pumpkins. One family I knew were very religious used to hide at the back of their house and turn the lights off so no one would trick-or-treat them.
Hope this helps, anon!
It wasn't a hugely commercial thing. You could buy things like masks, face paints, witches hats but only from fancy dress stores. Most kids parents (in my town) just made costumes from scratch. Mine were mostly bin bag witch's dresses, with black cardboard witch's hats. We used to paint bats on things and hang them around the place.
