Broke: dressing up fancy for Halloween

Woke: Dressing up fancy all the time

Bespoke: Dressing up all the time in costumes you made yourself.

That said Allhallowtide has always been celebrated in Catholic countries, and Shakespeare mentions soul cakes in his plays. Obviously it's also a co-option of a standard Equinox Festival.

Is there a Scrooge McDuck of Halloween? Because I think we found a prime candidate.

In America Halloween is a communal holiday that all people takes party in. In Europe Halloween is literally just marketing ghouls pushing shitty plastic decorations and overpriced candy on children. It is even displacing similar indigenous traditions that doesn't get amplified through the American cultural slop we consume thanks to Yankee cultural hegemony.
