Here in Italy we celebrate All Saints on November 1st and All Souls on the 2nd. Not many people are inclined to add another similar celebration just before these two.

Wdym, we still celebrate Halloween. And not just kids, there's plenty of themed parties in uni and stuff.

We even have an infamous "journalist" smash pumpkins on live tv cause "we don't want Halloween"

I saw some kids having themed Halloween parties, and in some small towns kids going door to door, but it’s very local, most places would not have that.

What? Florence literally has many themed parties (for adults) and it's not dissimilar elsewhere
