Not so long ago, Halloween barely made a ripple in the Britain's pool of holiday celebrations. Seen mainly as an American commercial event, Halloween decorations, costumes, and parties were rare. Not so anymore...creeping commercialism has propelled Halloween into High Street shops in Britain. Even staid Fortnum and Mason department store on London's ritzy Picadilly Street has a (small) selection of costly Halloween goodies...like the £60 ($95) Casket of Chocolate shown at left.
