Halloween parties are great fun, with a wide choice of fancy dress, from zombies, through mummies, to fairies so boys of all ages and sizes can bath in fake blood to freak out the girls – who are probably going to take the opportunity to dress in more spangles and gauze than is possible for any other party. Trick or treating, once considered an American custom only, is now a popular part of any Halloween party, and party favours, pumpkin goodie bags and spooky masks to wear when opening the door give householders not invited to the party an excellent way to join in nonetheless!
