> We ignore Halloween in NZ too, mostly. I
saw a group of kids (probably around
12-14ish) travelling on the ferry the other night
to an early Halloween party, though. It was the
final proof that NZ totally does not get
Halloween. One was dressed as a witch, but
the others were, in ascending order of
not-getting-Halloween-itude: a soldier; a
hippie; a princess; and a hospital nurse. I
don't think we get enough opportunities to
dress up in this country.

My family does not celebrate Halloween any
more, but I used to go trick-or-treating when I
was growing up, and I guess we did not "get"
Halloween either, because all those
costumes you described sounded completely
normal to me.

I remember one year, we all made our own
costumes, and I dressed up as a "rock star." I
made this little fake guitar out of a shoebox
and rubber bands, dressed outrageously as
possible, got my hair spiked, sprayed green
stuff in it. I guess "punk rocker" would have
been a better description of what I was going
for. I can also remember going as a tiger, a
Transformer, He-Man, and one of the Star
Wars characters (probably Darth Vader).

Can anyone else remember what they
dressed up as for Halloweens gone by?
