I'm not sure why it matters whether this tradition is well known or not. It's a tradition that happens every year, and can be traced back to the Middle Ages, so what exactly are you trying to accomplish with your comments?
It's almost that time of year again when the ghosts and ghouls come out to play! Halloween in Gran Canaria is picking up interest as the years go on and there is always something to do in the various resorts.
Holiday World in Maspalomas is holding their annual Halloween party over 2 weekends 28th-29th October and again 4th-5th November. This year's theme is The Mystery of Scooby Doo. It all starts at 18:00hrs with Kids Halloween activities, shows and Horror Costume Contest! Most resorts will have something going on for Halloween, so get your costumes ready and prepare to be spooked!
It sounds like Spain is joining in on the evil anglosaxon fun after all Nestor! And Gran Canaria seems to be the place to go around Halloween. Sorry to burst your xenophobic bubble!
Look up mummers and you'll find out what's happening in your own country every year. It's probably a tradition that stays in its native Cheshire but still, ignorance is no excuse!
Thanks so much for the useful info nihil, it's much appreciated and I'm sure people will find it useful if they decide to incorporate prosthetics into their costume. I mentioned spirit gum mainly because it's by far the easiest prosthetic adhesive to find, but I do agree that it really isn't very good to work with and is rather old school in my opinion.
If I watched any more movies I wouldn't have time to work, procreate, eat, sleep, shower or converse with other human beings...oh wait, I don't do any of those things anyways! I guess I'd better get to watching more movies!
Yeah, that was my point but I tend to forget that sarcasm doesn't translate into text very well so I updated it with a point that hits you over the head.
I was probably one of the few people who actually saw eXistenZ in the theater, which means I am a tried and true lover of Cronenberg films and I'm getting old...
Thanks for the feedback Rebecca! I'm very selective about which tutorials I post to the site, so I'm glad to hear that this tutorial is a winner. If you have pics please feel free to post them in the comment section, I'm sure other readers would love to see them!
