Halloween in Australia?

PS: To answer those who asked - the teenagers on my door step ran off when a police car drove past LOL

In this video, David discusses Halloween in Australia, how it has recently started to arise in this country and how it is being usurped by criminals.

What do you think? Leave and video response or comment below ;)

@AssyrianSoldier1933 We don't have to ape their culture, Australians have their own culture, we do not need to copy someone else's. We don't drive on the right hand side of the road either or follow thousands of other American habits.

I'm from Israel. We dont really trick or treat. I usualy go to my friends house and we dress up and order KFC.

I basically put myself into lockdown in my house, kill all the lights and pretend to be out. It's bad enough I get dickheads chucking beer bottles into my yard. Also you're right on the money when you say that thugs use it as an excuse to go round causing havoc. I remember hearing about one instance in Sydney a few years ago where a group of teenagers went round egging people houses and cars

@TheNewWierdo Some people in Australia do but m'ajority of here had Halloween events all the time and had been since America was born in the 1776. We get most haunted houses here in the USA a lot many times.

I guess Australia and New Zealand doesn't an American style-like Halloween.

I celebrate it, because my uncle's american. A lot of mpeople in my neighborhood enjoy Halloween, lots of old women do it local friends and stuff.

I just came upon this video, been a long time fan of your cooking videos for quite some time (about 2 years). You have to understand that in America Halloween is a really great thing for children. Once you are past 10 years old or so, you don't go trick or treating anymore. For adults, it's basically a reason to go to a party in a costume and get drunk. Also, young children are almost ALWAYS accompanied by an adult or older sibling. It is part of our culture and a great memory as a child.

@ozzirt I agree . Its all part of the eroding of Australian values. The thing is, people migrate for a better life and a part of that should be accepting that things will be different from where they came from. We have been fools to let so much of this happen.

Really sad that Australia never get a Halloween tradition like here in the USA :(.
