Among Hungarian traditional holidays there is no Halloween at all. This thing is very new for us, only 10 years old maybe. We have 'farsang', which is also accompany a costume party, but instead of celebrating the 'coming of winter/darkness' we celebrate the winter's end. But we Hungarians can enjoy anything, so there are Halloween parties as well nowadays but mostly in bigger towns and Budapest. In the countryside we just decorating, carve a pumpkin, the children drawing something in the nursery, adults watch something creepy and so on. I love both, the farsang as well as Halloween.
At Budapest there are some places or bars where they hold costume parties and anyone can go in. I like to dress up non-humanly - and I do not need an occasion for it - and I could enjoy a real Halloween party I think, with funny titled foods, creepy decors, dancing... I just can't feel myself relaxed among strangers and I'm definitely not a cutie-flirty persona neither... I imagine I would be in a costume as weird as hell so noone wants/dares to speak with me... or I would just bring a coffin with myself, put it in a corner, closed myself in it and make two holes so I could watch the scene... [I think I need a therapy or something before it will be too late...] But this is the countryside and my friends are sadly everywhere but Veszprém, so I will just celebrate at home with my flap-eared tubby fluffy thing called bunny again...
I like reading others' movie lists on IMDB. I've found many good movies in this way I never heard of before. So I thought I make my own Halloween lists, maybe someone has the same taste as mine or just find something new for the eerie evening. My taste can be interesting... I love the gory and total creepy Asian horrors, but hate todays western ones because those are too much for my nerves??? [~Yeah I don't understand myself neither...] I only prefer the - little bit artistical - vintage ones from the American horrors.
