I think we're plenty playful (we have a zombie walk tooo!) but I don't know, maybe because Halloween is traditionally an autumn thing, all about death and decay? And... yeah, in October it's spring here!
We have the rugby sevens, which is just like Halloween with the dressing up and people walking the streets all day dressed as Rambo or slutty nurses or whatever. But then they all go to a boring stupid rugby game so I'm not into that. The fascinating thing is that people dress up in teams, like you'll see half a dozen Rambos or slutty nurses, all dressed exactly alike. It's very surreal.
Our suicide rate is huge too, but we don't have bad weather to blame for it!
Our election was today. The results are being counted. /o\
