The
Campaign for a
Real All Hallow's Eve, or
CRAHE, seeks to promote an observation of
Hallowe'en that is free from
Cocacolization. Ideally, we should go back to having
Samhain, but we're ready to accept that the festival has
bifurcated, becoming Hallowe'en and
Bonfire Night. (
Americans: Bonfire Night is what
Brits do on the 5th of November, because they didn't go and worship the great pumpkin the previous week.)
We approve of:
Bonfires
Apple Ducking
Lots of
Alcohol
Midnight Revels
We don't mind:
Horror-themed
fancy dress parties
Pumpkin lanterns
We detest:
The Great Pumpkin
Trick-or-treat
Kids who think that
Superman or
Princess Leia are good Hallowe'en costumes
That series of movies
