Halloween is getting more and more popular in the Netherlands, and celebrated with pumpkins and scary parties, the USA-style. But did you know Halloween is originated in Ireland and goes back centuries? And that there are stories behind the masks and characters?
Every year October, CommuniGate organizes an activity to increase the name-awareness of Ireland – Home of Halloween. One of the recent successes is a small-scale, high quality Halloween media event, taken place in an old chapel in Amsterdam. Elegant decoration in Halloween style, huge chandeliers, sound & light-effects and an Irish actor reciting some passages out of Bram Stoker’s Dracula created the perfect setting to share the Irish Halloween traditions. Storytelling pur-sang.
