Well it’s the start of November today which means that it is
the beginning of Christmas season and the end of Halloween 2017. But before we
completely say goodbye to Halloween I wanted to share a few thoughts about my
Halloween in Canada.
In the weeks running up to Halloween there was quite a lot
of anticipation amongst most people I know. Especially after Thanksgiving there
seemed to be a lot of excitement building for Halloween. To be honest in the
end more things seemed to be happening over the weekend instead of on Halloween
itself, in the UK at uni we tend to do Halloween stuff both on the weekend and
on the night itself.
For me Halloween really began on Saturday with my trip to Haunt at Canada’s Wonderland which was undoubtedly the highlight of my
Halloween this year. I had a really good time.
Tuesday, Halloween Day went more or less as a normal day for
me. This year for Halloween I was Clark Kent/Superman, I was actually going
around all day in my costume just with the shirt buttoned up for most of the
day. I guess the glasses really do mean that Superman can hide in plain sight.
It was more or less a normal day until I went to my night
lecture, then suddenly about 5-10 minutes into the lecture the lights suddenly
went out and there was a powercut. I’m 90% sure that the powercut must have
been caused by ghosts. Either that or it was karma for scheduling classes on
Halloween night. We got let out of the lecture and I walked across a darkened
campus to my residence. Everyone was just gathering together and hanging out in
the dark. Usually we’re a very social group in my accommodation however
something about the dark made us all even more sociable than usually, maybe it
was because without power we were all forced away from our screens. This was
not how I expected my Halloween night to go but honestly it was actually a lot
of fun. There’s something inherently spooky about being in the dark without
power but then when you’re enjoying spending time with friend it’s even better.
So maybe I did not have the Halloween I had been anticipating
but I have had a good one this year.
