I am a staunch traditionalist in the case of Halloween costumes: they have to be spooky, in any other case what is the level? I believe this may be one more cultural distinction between America and the UK, probably, though I more and more see it creeping up on us over right here too, with increasingly more individuals attending Halloween events dressed as, effectively, no matter they need. And I say cease this! Go as a GHOST, go as a MUMMY, go as a WITCH. Perhaps go as a PUMPKIN – not scary, however Halloween at the least – or simply a couple of CLOWN, if it is a scary one. Then once more, they’re all scary in a way.
In the present day’s Strands is not strictly Halloween themed, as a result of the spangram is merely COSTUMES relatively than having the phrase Halloween in there, however then once more the theme clue was ‘Trick or deal with’. For that motive it took me barely longer to identify PRINCESS (not acceptable for Halloween, sorry) and PIRATE (ditto), however actually this was nonetheless among the many best video games in current days.
