I used to work at an international school and one year, there were a bunch of Korean students celebrating their first Halloween. A lot of people dressed up that day and some of the Korean students came in wearing their super scary monster costumes, but when they met each other, the monsters politely bowed to one another. It was so freaking cute! 😅
That sounds so cutee😭💛
awe i bet that was cool to see
Oh so cute!
Yes, most of us can wear costumes to work for Halloween if we want to. I mostly have worked at hospitals and we are allowed to do it there as well
A lot of communities in the US set times for Halloween. For us this year it was from 5:30pm-8pm. That way you can still go to sleep early. If you don't want to participate in handing out candy, you just turn your porch light/Halloween decoration lights off as a signal to the kids. Some neighborhoods are better at participating than others. Usually by middle school, kids stop trick or treating. When I was a kid in the 1960's, school-aged kids usually trick or treated in small groups without parents, but by the time my kids were trick or treating in the late 1990's, parents usually walked along with their kids to make sure they stayed safe.
If they’re shocked by this for Halloween, they should see what we do for Christmas.
Halloween is the best I wait so excitedly every year to go to spirit halloween and keep up with the newest costumes and props in the “haunt” culture. The higher quality haunted house and haunted event artistry is amazing
I sounds like most Korean celebrations are variations of "we get together and drink."
here where I live a lot of people go to the rich area because it’s always decorated and give better candy lol but it’s fun because there’s not only kids but teens and adults dressed up ! Even though halloween season is over y’all should react to haunted houses!
Halloween is very fun! There is the kids Halloween like you see here then there is the horror element while kids can enjoy that too it tends to be very over the top with horror and other elements or of course the regular party of alcohol and movies!
My dad goes all out in decorating the house for Halloween 😊.
when i was a little kid i was too shy to say trick or treat so i didnt always get candy 😭 you have to be brave and say it
If people don't want to hand out candy on Halloween they leave their porch lights off. That way people don't try their house
You should show them haunted houses or corn mazes! 🎃
Oh, we have a large haunted corn maze here in Washington State, USA. Some people love it! They also have corn cannons for the adults.
And pumpkin chunkin!
Right? Where are the pumkin patches and the corn mazes, where are the haunted houses and parties?
@@persephonebasilissa5109 the cannons for the adults part made me laugh 😂
YES!!!
Giving out candy on Halloween is always a lot of fun because the kids are super cute and generally very polite. Some places do 'trunk or treat', where people park their cars and put candy in the open trunk so kids can go from car to car.
I did that at my church and it was a fun experience! After the trunk n treat. I get lots of candies 😃.
Right.. even though they live in apartments in Seoul they can do a trunk or treat or use the communal spaces for the events. @OSSC If it ever caught on.
My brother participated in a Trunk or Treat last year. My elderly mom sewed a costume for his car. The open trunk was a giant mouth with massive teeth!
wow I've genuinely never heard of this despite living in the u.s. my whole life but that sounds fun too!
Yeah I actually love the ones who do trunk or treat where im from they also do best car decoration competition, gift card give aways for the adults and bikes/ toys for the kids and usually if you tell a certain trunk you will vote for them they bribe you with extra candy even the adults walk around with pockets full for voting
Can confirm that Halloween costumes at work is real whether you have a regular office job, work with kids, etc. I always thought Halloween at school was fun because sometimes there would be special themed lunches and we could wear costumes to school.
I work at a library and we have a costume contest among departments and staff. This year our department is doing Studio Ghibli characters as a team, and we've been creating them together for weeks. Our department deals with a technology and creative stuff so we have access to sewing machines, etc. We're even building a cat bus photo op this year. This week, kids will come in costume for a special Halloween themed storytimes and then they walk around the whole library as a Halloween Parade to show of their costumes and trick or treat at the different service desks.
Compared to my childhood, I think that trick or treating has changed a lot. It also depends on your neighborhood as well. We used to walk all over our neighborhood when I was growing up. Over the years some areas aren't as safe/community engaged and the weather got consistently colder over the years so I think families like the option of going to a few special events where they aren't walking super far. A lot of businesses will also offer special food deals for kids that wear their costume etc. Halloween to Thanksgiving has always been my favorite time of year.
Your workplace sound fun during Halloween.
You're right it did change a lot over the year. Now towns are also holding special events for everyone's families. Like my town is gonna hold it on the 29, 20 and 31 people are gonna walk the street.
Also as soon as the light shut down, people consider that there is no more candy in that house. Young adults often have an after party with friends or go clubing for Halloween after giving the candy to the kid. it used to be really big before the pandemic. Or it's the perfect night to play Murder Mystery.
that's cool I met a girl at a convention that made a moving Haku dragon from pizza boxes she said the hard part was eating all the pizza
@@magikenzee that's pretty amazing 🤣
@@peko7446 it is! We just really benefit of just being in a service position where we get to create special events and really have fun with it for the community
Even as adults a lot of us still like to dress up in costumes. Bars and clubs have events, work places you can sometimes dress up like you mentioned, or people hold their own costume parties. Some restaurants even offer a discount if you show up in a costume. It’s my fav holiday
Some of my favorite childhood memories are Halloween related, going trick or treating with my friends, going to Halloween parties, carving pumpkins, picking costumes. Adults definitely have their own Halloween parties too!!
dont forget about halloween at school...it was so fun seeing very one dressed up at school... in the elementary i went to we did a little parade with the kids form k-6th and from middle school to high school we just dressed up and at lunch we would see who had the best costume while playing music it was soooo fun
Also malls. Kids can go store to store and in the past costume contests
yess halloween and Christmas break at school is top tier!
Halloween is a must-have for kids growing up in the US. I'm not a kid anymore (teenager) but I still go trick or treating and I don't care lol I'm getting them candies. We also go to exclusively rich neighborhoods or neighborhoods that seem to have a lot of people, that's how you know they give a lot of candy and good ones.
I’m Canadian and most of us don’t stop trick or treating until grade 12 either lmaoo. We also do the rich neighbourhood thing, but I live in a small town so we don’t have “rich neighbourhood’s”, instead we remember the houses that do the super sized chocolate bars or give out cans of pop hahaha.
@@thressawatts4501 ooo I see. Good to know people do the same thing haha. Yea I live near a big city and we even drive a bit farther if we have to, to find the good neighborhoods but usually the areas around us already give out plenty of candy. But like I said, we don’t mind driving a bit further and we usually find more variety of candy that way as well and not the same types of candies 🤣
I even did trick-or-treating in college lol
There's no rule that says trick or treating is just for elementary school kids. Halloween is like Christmas. It's for kids from 1 to 92.
As long as you dress up and are polite about it, most people don't care. Especially if you dress up as something funny, interesting, or clever.
Or, if you're embarrassed, you can always charge an escort fee of candy when you take the kids trick or treating. Or, in my case when the nieces and nephews got to big to escort, charge a Get Back In The House fee of candy. haha
Halloween is the BEST. People really get into it. When I was growing up, my parents would have giant Halloween parties with like 200 people at our farm. My birthday is the 29th so I always grew up associating Halloween with my birthday. I love costumes that involve body paint! I’m so happy Halloween is part of my culture.
Aww, that's awesome! The 29th is mine and my spouse's 22nd anniversary, but Halloween is our wedding anniversary (13yrs). Happy Birthday!!
mine is the 29th too! happy birthday to us all!! best bday hands down i love october
My son is the 29th as well. The nurses at the hospital dressed all the babies, swaddled with a cotton ball on the back and little bunny ears on their little hats.
You sound like you had a kickers childhood. Just saying.
I absolutely loved to hear how they feel about Halloween for kids in the states! You should show them how crazy the adults/young adults party! I’ve seen some of the coolest costumes made by rowdy teens lol
As soon as I saw the horrible tragedy on the news I thought of you and now many of us are worried for you.
Our hearts and thoughts are with the OSSC team and the kind people of South Korea.
We hope you are all safe.
Regarding Donghyun’s question about when they stop giving out candy, usually houses turn their lights on-if the light is on that means they have candy to give out, once it’s turned off there’s no more candy!
We also don’t have a Halloween culture in the Philippines but I remember when I was young, I and my cousins were invited to go trick and treating in a predominantly Western neighborhood and almost all of the houses had elaborate Halloween decors and tons of candy and chocolates for the kids. We only went once (I was around 8 or 9 years old) but two decades later, it’s still my fondest memory.
I think Halloween is the most community-oriented time of year in the U.S., personally. That’s why it’s my favorite holiday. I love the haunted houses, scary movies, carving pumpkins, corn mazes, and all that stuff. I don’t drink so I don’t go to any ragers lol. But now that I’m an adult I also love how much everybody does to make it fun for kids. There’s something very sweet to me about this group effort to give them fun, even if we don’t know everyone that comes to our door on Halloween night.
Also, I think they’re totally right that this time of year is really a blast here. The summer ends, and after that you get fall festivals and Halloween, Thanksgiving followed by Thanksgiving leftovers, then winter with the snow and lights and various holidays, then New Years. Valentine’s is shortly after that. Easily the best 5 months out of the year.
I'm from the UK and work in a convenience store, every year we decorate the store for Halloween and staff dress up in whatever costume we like, it's so much fun for our young customers!
Halloween in US is verh much a month long celebration and a lot of work cultures (regardless if office/school/retail) allow for people to come to work usually day of Halloween to dress up in costumes.
Usually weekend of Halloween or weekend before Halloweens, there are bar parties or house parties for adults celebrating and drinking just like how movies show. And then day of Halloween, is day to take kids walking before going out late in the night party.
I love you guy's reactions especially to this. Most people in the States love Halloween. It's tied with Christmas as my favorite holiday. And for sure, the parents have as much fun or more than the kids do. We have one street here in a suburb of Boise, Idaho where every house on the street is decked out with elaborate Halloween decorations and every house on the street gives out full sized candy bars to the kids. Literally hundreds of costumed people, kids and adults, walk the street so kids can trick or treat the houses. There are usually food trucks and Carmel apple vendors. There is also usually some street performers. A vampire juggling, once there was a demon breathing fire, some people in elaborate costumes with stilts so they appear to be giant. They've closed the street for Halloween the passed two years because of Covid. But they are reopening it this year!
Also, we have an old penitentiary here that is open for tours and it's said to be haunted. On Halloween you can trick or treat there and a spook alley is set up inside the prison. And every year there is a zombie flash dance mob that happens in the commons of the prison. Near a hundred zombies start dancing to Micheal Jackson's Thriller. Its an amazing experience.
I live in Canada, and some store employees, and bus drivers, waitstaff at some restaurants, etc, will dress up in costumes. It's quite common. Costume parties for adults are also common here. Some of the best parties that I've been to have been to have been in honour of Halloween.
hello, love you all. please let us know you are ok. My heart goes out to you all. the Halloween stampede and loss of so many lives is so tragic. I am very sad. Please take care and stay safe. please either reply or post a video to let us all know you and your family and friends are all ok. thank you! love you from NJ, USA.
If you work an office job, it's pretty common to be able to dress up on Halloween. It's also common for kids in elementary, middle, and high school to be able to dress up, but with restrictions. Like sometimes schools won't let children wear scary costumes, or they will set the costumes to be a specific theme so that it's not inappropriate. When I worked service jobs, as a waiter, etc. it was less common to be able to dress up, especially if your job has safety restrictions involving the uniform.
It is also common for kids to go to different neighborhoods, or neighborhoods with larger houses to get "better" candy. Some people go all out, they will make entire haunted houses in their garage or their yard, it's like everyone takes part in this huge festival in some way or another. Not to mention all the parties during Halloween time. It's very common for people to have Halloween parties during anytime in October where EVERYONE will dress up.
I would love to see y'all react to some of the other Halloween traditions like bobbing for apples, office costume parties, and people making haunted houses. A lot of towns have entire festivals or fairs during Halloween as well.
Yes, it’s real. At my job, we have a Halloween party and prizes for the best costumes.👻🎃
This episode made me realize that in the US we do have some aspects of our culture to be proud of. Thanks guys!
I dare say Adults probably love Halloween more. While kids Trick or Treat, we like to have costume parties together with other friends.
Praying for the families of the 150 people crushed to death in the street party Halloween crowd in Korea :(
I live in Peru, and here we celebrate the day of criolla music (a genre of traditional Peruvian music from the 1920) the same day as halloween, so when I was young my mom would only let me dress as a tapada limeña (women from the virreinato that used to cover their head with a veil) and we used to sing criolla songs and eat candy that way we combined both traditions in a fun way! But here usually older people celebrate the day of criolla music and listen to songs and eat traditional Peruvian food and children and young adults celebrate halloween 👻
Probably not the right place. But just the terrible news from Seoul, I hope you and your loved ones are safe. My sympathy from the UK.
There's definitely the adult side of Halloween where we dress up and go out to bars/parties/etc. 😂 but most of that is the weekend before Halloween, while the day of is mostly for the kids 🥰
I've seen many different types of work places let people dress up, or at least wear some type of festive accessory! Lots of places will put up window decorations and sometimes items on desks throughout October 😊🎃
You should have another video about Halloween in the US. Some homes get pretty competitive and neighbors will try to out decorate each other. Before the 31st we would sometimes go driving around certain neighborhoods to view the homes. You could also look into small candy vs large. I remember taking my nieces and nephews to certain neighborhoods because they gave out the full size candy. 😂
Another thing I forgot to mention is that door lights on mean that the house is still giving out candy. If there’s no light then they ran out or aren’t participating in the holiday.
As for dressing up for work, I can definitely agree that it’s a thing. I used to work for a government job and we had a costume contest. I dressed up as an inflatable triceratops one year 😂. I was top 3 for best dress for that competition.
The light!!! That’s such a good point that I always forget to make when explaining Halloween rules (because it’s not a written thing). But yes - if you’re walking in your neighborhood you would pass by houses with no decorations/no front light on because that’s how you know people aren’t participating. Either they don’t want to (which is totally fine!) or they are probably out celebrating themselves. The hours for trick or treating are also set by your local county - so there’s typically a Halloween curfew (that some ignore) of between 6pm - 8pm here in NJ where I am, but other areas may be different. So,no you can’t trick or treat until Midnight. You’d probably get into trouble 😂. But most people seem to keep the candy bowl by the door until around 9pm (as a rough estimate)
So sorry to hear about the Halloween incident in S. Korea. Just horrible.
It depends on where you live in the states. I live in NC and the entire month of October, we have fall and cider festivals to bring in autumn. There's also a lot of haunted houses, hayrides and attractions. It's like a huge party for kids and adults! And it all culminates on Halloween night. That's my wedding anniversary btw! You should look up the history of trick or treating, Halloween and Samhain, it's fascinating!
Cha Cha is the cutest human being on the entire planet
Usually we don't accept kid trick or treaters really late at night (mayne 6 pm - 9 pm?). The general rule about trick or treating at night is ~ if you see a house with its porch lights on, then they are giving candy. If the house doesn't have any outside lights on, they are either out of candy OR not participating this year. And yes parents drive kids around to each neighborhood lol. In the suburbs and small towns its impossible to walk. But in each neighborhood development its normal to walk to each house.
Hey heard the stampeders and hurt people at the Halloween event in Seoul.
Is eveyone with ossc ok!??!? Hoping everyone you know is safe
I worked at a small public school outside of Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do in 2015-16 and I asked if we could have Halloween, the principal said yes. They had a door decorating contest (via Pinterest) , costumes and and "Trick-or-treating" around the school during Halloween.... they took the idea and ran with it...there were other events afterward of like a scavenger hunt with kids running everywhere... it was amazing...I hope they still do these things. She was the most open principal I couldn't speak to as we didn't speak each other's languages well, but we were both artists, and her door was always open to me. I wish I had stayed there longer sometimes.
In America, September through December is often noted to be the time we gain a lot of weight. Between starting school, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, it’s a non stop party 🎉
Also, costumes at work and school are pretty common! I was a jellyfish for my senior year of high school (I taped streams of ribbon to an open umbrella). I won my school’s costume contest for “most creative”
Omg This was a “TREAT” to watch! Halloween really is a fun day/night for both the kids, big kids & even the adults with ADULT money! Seeing their reaction to Halloween I’m now excited to see how they’ll react when it comes to Christmas States side. You think the Halloween yard decor was impressive, Christmas is a whole other level! ❤🎉
Halloween parties aren't as big as they used to be, although for rural areas they mix the themes in with "harvest" parties (thank superstitious types for that) as Thanksgiving and Halloween are both sort of harvest time holidays just with different origins. So we see hayrides, pumpkin walks, Jack O Lantern carving contests, corn mazes, haunted house walk throughs *should show them that*, zombie corn field venues have become popular as well, and of course the pranks and excuse to decorate your yard.
Generally, parents take their kids around their neighborhood after dinner and back home no later than 8pm. Parents will wait out in front of the house, unless the kids are really small, then let the kids walk up to the house and ring the doorbell. Parents sometimes dress up while walking around with their kids or even when they stay home to hand out the candy. In rural areas, a local school or shopping mall is easier for everyone to participate as it could be several hundred meters between each house or more. At shopping malls the kids would go from store to store instead of house to house. Office parties do sometimes have a dress up day, but it really depends on the business or workplace.
Halloween can last as long as the early morning hours of the next day. Kids know which houses are still offering candy if the house has decorations and their porch light is still on. If a house has decorations but the porch light is off that means the house is done for the night either cause it's too late or they ran out of candy
Halloween in some parts of Germany is a thing, especially in places near military bases. I'm an expat, and get tons of American AND German kids at my house every year. It's nice to see!
I love giving out candy on Halloween. One of my favorite places as a kid though was this owner of an old bookstore. She gave us candy and let us pick a free book.
The way you let people know that you’re done handing out candy at your house is to turn off your porch light and the lights in front of your house. People won’t go up to a dark house usually.
27 year old American here. Born and raised here my whole life and can confirm that Halloween is just as big as Christmas (Maybe even more so since it's non-denominational. Literally anyone and everyone can participate).
And keep in mind that every tradition starts somewhere in small ways. So if you say you wish you had it in Korea, then just be the ones to start it locally in Korea. Other countries also celebrate Halloween outside of America. So I say GO FOR IT! The key is just annual consistency. Start it as a local neighborhood thing for families to bring their children to and film it for us to see on here! We'd love to see it! It can easily grow from there. It just takes planting the seed and watering it consistently every year.
On another note, future Halloween themed videos that you should totally do in the future is having the cast react to the most impressive Halloween costumes (Heidi Klum alone is jaw dropping), Jack-O-Lantern carving contests, and Halloween pranks (another great staple of the holiday).
Living with in Northern Minnesota it’s a hit or miss when it comes to Halloween some years the temp is decent and can walk around with just a costume over a light jacket but majority of time the temps are on the colder side and also not that unusual to have snow on the ground and you couldn’t see the costume under the winter jackets! We live in the country so do not get the kids coming to our house for treats but we would drive our kids into town and let them do one block of door to door then head back towards home where our community had a Halloween party with assorted kids games and the biggest being the cake walk! Then it was back home again. Then of course the traditional empty out the candy bucket (or in our case the pillow case!) and spread out the goodies and let the trading begin! And of course you can not forget the daddy or mommy tax!
Is everyone from Ossc ok?
I'm in Canada, not the states, but for us, we dress up at our offices. When we were in person we would have costume parties and contests, I would decorate my department, we would have candy, and do pumpkin carving. Even now that we're virtual we still dress up, do fun makeup instead of full costumes, and use fun virtual backgrounds, my team still does a pumpkin carving contest. I love it. I miss living in the suburbs and decorating my house, having kids come by to trick or treat. My Dad and I would make the entire yard a graveyard, and we would have Halloween movies playing on a projector and other decorations. I loved sitting outside by a fire waiting for kids to come by and giving out candy.
I work in an office. We all dress up for Halloween and have a potluck lunch (everyone brings items to eat) that is Halloween themed. Before the pandemic I sat at my computer all day dressed as a giant banana. I’m 50 years old, haha!
Can’t wait for Halloween 🎃 Thanks 😊 guys for uploading this, enjoyed the reactors opinion about this.
Y’all should’ve shown them haunted attractions/mazes in the states because those things pop off during October.There’s so much more than just dressing up and getting free candy.
Chacha giving a math quiz for candy? That's a great way to get your trees toilet papered!
Loving these videos. Thanks for posting them.
Thank you all for your reactions. You made me smile so big listening to you 😁
In the US, if you gave kids a math quiz for Halloween someone will throw raw eggs at your house. Halloween is a mix of fun and petty vandalism.
Or they would tp (toilet paper) the house😂
@@kimleemoonOne of them is definitely happening. Maybe both.
Halloween would be so fun here in the US growing up! We'd plan out the best neighborhoods to go to, and make plans to carpool to "better" neighborhoods - aka ones that gave out giant chocolate bars or huge specialty candy.
We'd run around slinging candy filled pillowcases ( easy to hold pounds of candy). End of the night we'd dump our candy and barter for ones we liked more ❤ great memories 🤧
Halloween is originally from the Gaelic festival of Samhain dating back over 2,000 years. Turnips would be carved instead of Pumpkins to ward off evil spirits. Food would also be placed at the door as offerings to appease the spirits. From the 16th century, people would dress up as these spirits and perform acts to instead receive the food that was being offered to the spirits. Irish and Scottish immigrants had started to spread the tradition in the United States as early as the 1840s but only became popular by the 1930s. It has continued to gain popularity since then and has now spread all over the world.
Aw hell yeah! Halloween is one of the best holidays! ^^
Grew up where some houses would go all out with decorations, such as animatronics, strobe lights, people dressed up as Leatherface or Jason Voorhees to jump-scare teens, the works!
Also grew up in the ye olde Blockbuster and Hollywood Video era and can remember seeing a lot of old horrr VHS and DVD cases, but not seeing the actual movies yet as I was too young at the time (for anyone that's a big fan of horror shlock, I definitely recommend people check out the Jack Frost movies, everything from it's ancient Photoshopped DVD cover to it😮acting, is absolutely legendary in a so-bad-it's-good way).
PLEASE do a REACTION to American haunted houses! In the US we have huge factories/buildings that are made into really scary haunted houses every year that ppl pay $ to go to, to get scared. I think that everyone would be shocked to see how realistic and scary they are!
I paid $20 and went to 2 in high school.
Even Ellen sends her producer to one every year, along with a famous celebrity, and records them getting scared to death, ㅋㅋ
Nope, not for kids only. Halloween for kids and adults us all! Kids go trick-treating while adults have Halloween parties at home. Some chill just with families watching horror movies with pizzas. Haunted house tours, etc.
My town had The Night of Fun on Halloween. While little kids trick or treated, those of us in middle and high school grades had activities at the high school. There was a haunted boys’ locker room, face painting, games, a dance, and (at 10pm) the varsity strip show for high school students only. All new members of the boys’ varsity club had to do the strip show, though older members liked doing it too. Varsity club is for both male and female varsity (highest) level high school athletes. Female varsity club members did not do the strip show. For the strip show, the boys would dress up as girls, with crazy wigs and makeup, carrying water balloons in their bras and squirt guns in their purses. Everyone gathers in the gym to watch the these “ladies” come out dancing (badly) to a pop song and stripping off their clothes. When they got to their bras they would throw their water balloons at the crowd and pull out their squirt guns to shoot water at everyone. We all thought it was hilarious. Unfortunately for my younger sister, some school board member, with a big broomstick up her butt, decided the strip show was “inappropriate” by the time she got to high school. The Night of Fun was designed to keep older kids from vandalizing the town, which was a big problem during the 1970s. The school board took away the one thing that kept us high school kids off the streets until curfew. It was not surprising when vandalism spiked back up after that.
"Trick or treat! Smell my feet! Give me something good to eat. And if you don't, I won't be sad, I'll just make you wish you had."
Halloween is the best time of year! This video focused on a lot of the cute, family-friendly halloween, but I think you missed showing the truly freaky parts. A lot of the decor is genuinely gory and scary. I remember being in a halloween shop and running into a perfect lifelike zombie statue cut off at the waist, crawling on the ground with his intestines trailing out behind him. Not to mention all the haunted houses designed to scare the crap outta people. Great stuff.
If you gave out schoolwork to trick-or-treaters, you'd get to experience the other side of Halloween... egging and toilet papering of homes :P
Someone should tell the math exam young lady about getting tricked. Like egged, tp'd, and soaped windows for a few.
The rule is, there are no such things as calories from October 31st through January 2nd. Lol. Too many good things to eat!
People dress up at home, work, school for Halloween even if they don't they still give out candy for kids amd stuff and adults or teens usually have Halloween parties or something
I work in a factory and my costume options are limited because of the machinery I work around but even so my coworkers and I try to dress up and we go from station to station trading candy. I was a bumble bee :)
You get candy as a reward for dressing up. Kids who refuse to dress up as anything, but still go to get candy are usually given a side eye, and given the candy begrudgingly.
Most Americans are open and inviting. We are not as closed off as we are portrayed on TV. Only believe 1 percent of what you see on TV.
About the late night thing, there is a designated time for trick or treating! It differs based on the city, in my city it's from 6-8 pm so everyone knows what time the kids will be coming around.
currently at work. Today is Halloween. I am in 50's costume. :)
When youre a kid you dress up and get candy. When youre a grown up you dress up and give candy. Regardless you have fun!
Giving kids a quiz before candy is a sure way to a trick. They’re gonna egg or TP your house for sure 😂
The richer people always make the walk up to their houses as scary as possible, so only the bravest kids will go up to them, and get really expensive treats. High risk, high reward, but a lot of kids will just not do it.
not always the richer. Ive seen simple scarier houses of non rich people. All you really need is a chair and someone sitting still in a creepy costume and that adds a lot of fear cuz kids dont know if its a real person or a dummy
Well did hear about that unfortunate Halloween party in Korea. I'm sure it began well, but then it got too crazy..
In the United States, companies and stores will allow employees to wear Halloween costumes while they work.
You don’t get the true american halloween experience if you’re not told to check your candy for blades lol
americans are individualistic but they are also the most charitable by far. none of the countries that make anywhere near as much as americans do give as much of their wealth away to charity. it's a strange situation where we have the greediest people and the kindest too.
pls react the DAY OF THE DEAD !!!! in mexico
I would also show the haunted corn mazes and other halloween activities. there are so many more activities besides just trick or treating. Also I can confirm we wear costumes to the office. Some offices even have halloween parties.
yes, people do wear their costumes to work (unless it's not allowed) and I've also seen many videos of people in the military wearing their costumes! there are people of all ages who trick or treat, not just kids, but lots of them are kids and teenagers, or entire families. I've sometimes seen old couples trick or treating, very adorable!
yall should watch people going to haunted houses in the U.S. too its soo hilarious!!😂🤣
The title made it sound like they were gonna travel to America and experience Halloween 😭
I dress up every Halloween to hand out candy to the kids, it's honestly one of the highlights of my year.
Nostalgic and fun 🎃🎃🏵🏵🏵
Yes, some people wear costumes to work on Halloween and some don't. Most teachers wear a costume!
When I worked at a suburban mall in the 80s, we would wear costumes and hand out candy (usually between 4-6). Everyone wanted to work on Halloween. A lot of people really go all out and decorate their homes. I’m glad it’s slowly coming to Korea. I teach at a University, but I try to include Halloween when possible!
Honestly, I loved working holidays at retail because that’s when you’d have the MOST people on staff and it was nice having potlucks. Don’t get me wrong, the rush sucks no matter what - but being able to tap in one team in shifts makes it WAY easier to handle.
Workers wearing costumes to work is real. Not every place does it but a lot do.
Some people set up a area inside their house to scare you when you go in to get candy, those always made me had trust issues😭
Finland doesn't really have this trick-or-treat during Halloween, but this trick-or-treat thing is really similar to what we have during Easter. Children dress up as witches, bunnies or whatever is related to Easter and then they have decorated branches of a willow tree when the tree has those fuzzy thingies. Then they go door to door and sing a song, they give the branch to the house and they get a payment. Usually candy, but I remember getting also money or fruits as a kid if the house was not prepared with any candy : D
Haunted Houses were always so much fun to go through!! Halloween was the best as a kid
