The problem is we don't really celebrate Halloween in the UK. It's more of a kids thing.
Me and some friends decided to make an effort to get dressed up for a Halloween party at a local pub and they had prizes for costumes.
I went as Dracula. Me and my then partner spent a month finding patterns, material and sewing costumes. I designed, etched and gold plated a pocket watch and chain with a bat and scroll design. Hell I even had fangs fitted and brought coloured contact lenses.
On the day all our friends met up at our place for pre party and to get ready. There were 9 of us dressed in costumes when we walked to the pub. Of the 240 odd people at the event we won every prize between the 9 off us. Simply no one else had made any effort.
The pub had decorations brought from the pound shop and they had cut up and covered the windows with black bin bags.
