One response to “Halloween Activities”
-
A Vision Critical online poll for Sainsburys on 19 and 20 October 2011, among 2,004 adult Britons aged 18 and over, suggested an astonishingly high degree of intended Halloween observance. Apparently, 75% of respondents said they would host or attend a Halloween party and 72% that they would dress up in Halloween costume. Ideally, we would need to see the full questions and data before validating these numbers. Unfortunately, all that is in the public domain at present is a press release from Sainsburys which, predictably enough, is largely preoccupied with maximizing sales of their Halloween products. See:
Another Vision Critical online poll, this time for Santander Insurance on 25 and 26 October 2011 among 2,005 adults, found that 22% supported a ban on trick-or-treating this year, in the wake of the August riots, with 50% wanting to introduce mandatory parental accompaniment of children engaged in trick-or-treating. 43% wanted a prohibition on people wearing masks obscuring the face over Halloween and 31% on wearing hooded tops. Amazingly, the Santander press release is only accessible online to accredited journalists, but the story has been fairly well covered in the print and online media, largely informed by a Press Association brief. So Google etc. should help any BRIN readers wanting to find out a bit more about the survey.
