While dressing up and trick-or-treating for candy are staple pursuits for children on Halloween, adults don’t have a uniform way of marking the day.
In an informal poll conducted by the Observer, adults were asked to share their opinions on celebrating Halloween.
The results found that more than 93 per cent of adults celebrate Halloween when circumstances allow.
The poll also revealed that a whopping 90 per cent of adults consider Halloween an all-ages affair. There was a unanimous opinion of positivity and open-mindedness surrounding the holiday with most believing that a person is never too old to play to dress-up.
