Strange how great a role it plays in Germany now. not before 1991 germans didn't pay attention at all to Halloween. But because of the war in 1991, our "Fasching" (=carnival) was stopped and did not take place. The concerned business too the items, chnaged them and then made great effort to repalce the missed profts from Fashing in Spring by introducing Halloween in Autmun instead. Since then it got pushed and hyped, and now is a self-runner. But orginally, Halloween in Germany is young, and nothig else but a 100% marketing idea.

Of course it was not switched off after Fasching was runnig again in the years after 1991.

Bald man with a wooden leg is invited to a Halloween party

He doesn't know what costume to wear to hide his head and his leg
So he writes to a costume company to explain his problem. A few days later, he received a parcel with the following note:

Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a pirate's outfit. The spotted handkerchief Will cover your bald head and, with your wooden leg, you will be just Right as a pirate.

Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.

The man thinks this is terrible because they have emphasized his Wooden leg and so he writes a letter of complaint. A week goes by And he receives another parcel and a note, which says:
Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a monk's habit. The long robe will cover your Wooden leg and, with your bald head, you will really look the part.

Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.

Now the man is really upset since they have gone from emphasizing His wooden leg to emphasizing his bald head so again he writes the Company another nasty letter of complaint. The next day he gets a small Parcel and a note, which reads:

Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a bottle of molasses and a bag of crushed nuts. Pour the molasses over your bald head, pat on crushed nuts, stick your Wooden leg up your ass and go as a caramel apple.

Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co
