Hi Ki,
You would be surprised - Hallowe'en's popularity is definitely on the up in the UK. Our shops are all full of masks, costumes, 'scary' things, etc. Even pumpkins now ! I come from the North of England and our lanterns were made out of turnips ! (or Neeps, as they are known in Bonny Scotland !). We ate stew for days after Hallowe'en when I was a child ! LOL
