have a houseparty, save yourself the hassle of having to queue for pints and save yourself the taxi home.

or, go to town and then complain to joe the next day that you had to do it because everyone was in town and it was packed and you couldnt get to the bar and the taxi cost a fortune.

Between the hours of 3 and 8.30 either pull the curtains and keep the lights off or go to someone elses house.

I'm going as him too. I'm going to stay at home getting drunk and if anyone knocks at the door I'll be answering in the nip with a chainsaw.

Derry has by far the biggest Halloween party. Virginia has the Pumpkin Festival around the same time which has a huge fancy dress party as part of it.

Well of course! What better way to give the kids a nice treat than by chasing them down the street.

Last year Galways Latin Quarter hosted a big event. A festival including a Halloween style street carnival, with trick or treat stalls, a street circus and a re-enactment of the Thriller video.

Anyone know if they have plans to run something this year too?

That's all changed.

Pedo's give them little bags of fruit and nuts these days.

When I was younger the entire neighborhood used to start building this gigantic bonfire on the green about 1-2 months before hand. Every kid from all over would start lobbing stuff into a big heap until it stood about 20ft high. Jaysus it was great.

As times progressed and into the early 2000's they put a stop to it and halloween was ruined for everyone the end

Ditto. When "everyone" goes out, that's my cue to stay in.

PS: I've been in Ireland for 13 years, and I still can't figure out what a "Barm Brack" is for. My best guess to date is that it's meant to be launched from a Trebuchet, in the general direction of London, on the 5th of November.

Am thinking a hefty proportion of my itunes would be the ultimate soundtrack to the samhain season.. maybe I could find employment/adulation somewhere by pressing play?

Just about, tens of thousands I'd guess. We were in a busy nightclub and found 1 person not dressed up.

Stay in, sit by the fireside with a few beers, and read some HP Lovecraft stories by candlelight.

Anywhere that darkness may fall across the land and the midnight hour is close at hand that you may find creatures crawling in search of blood that might terrorise the neighbourhood.
