    So, I heard that Halloween is only a big deal in America, is that true?

    I hung a wreath and some ghosts that sing the Ghostbusters theme song, but the kids are really hyped for it. Meanwhile by BIL (I guess?) went nutter butters (WHERE do you keep this stuff afterwards? WHERE are people getting the money to spend on this? I need in on THAT part...)

    Looks awesome though.

    I have heard that the 'trick or treat' thing is only big here in the U.S., and that other places tend to look at it more in relation to its original roots. A free market economy at work again, where (almost?) anything can be marketed and sold...and oversold. Let's not even look at what's been done to Christmas.

    Maybe you could play a horror game.

    But yeah. The Resident Evil fans are pretty hardcore. Attacking YouTubers over opinions is just lame. :(

    I will always prefer RE2 1998 over RE2 2019, since Bloober Team and Konami just showed Capcom how to do a proper remake. :p

    Halloween isn't really a thing here, although some US-owned companies have been marketing it quite a lot the last few years. Trick or treating is something we do (well, the kids) during Saint Martin's Day.

    Sure, it is. :D

    Just ask Tom Atkins.

    No clue who this is. Also, there are a couple more bodies of water between your country (Ireland iirc) and mine.

    I have not experienced Halloween or trick-or-treaters in 17 years. I moved into this mobile home park and
    it's a gated community. No door to door solicitors,

    Don't know the face either to be honest. He has done a lot of things, but primarily out of my area of interest.

    I looked him up after I read this and I saw he did so so many things but I didn't know who he was either. But I learned something new!
