Hallowe'en is right around the corner so it's time to get into
the proper spirit, and what better way than a tribute to the coolest
movie villain ever? My plan was to buy the mask, then walk around
outside freaking people out, but at $150 bucks, it's hard to justify
the fact that after one night, it's main use will be to collect
dust in my room. I made a similar mistake a couple of years ago
when I bought a $50 afro wig.
Hallowe'en in Japan is mainly for costume parties at pubs and bars, not to mention getting very drunk in order to make more of a fool of yourself. Saying 'trick or treat' over here will most likely earn you a puzzled stare, and a regular sized pumpkin will set you back about $30. However you can still see plastic bats, ghosts and jack-o'lanterns displayed in almost every store reassuring you that while hallowe'en might be different in Japan, it's still a good way to make money.
