While Halloween is not generally celebrated in post Horrors America, it is celebrated in the Deep.
It is a festival of make believe, wilderness, monsters.
People are encouraged to create, wear, and trade garish costumes. With costume contests being a thing in some circles. Others use costumes as another form of self expression, a reclamation of fears and freedom.
There's also an abundance of treats curated specifically for the season. Pumpkin stew, turkey roast, spiced cider, baked apples, Despression cakes, ect.
There's also no short of alcoholic beverages. Most of them are also flavored for the holiday. Or dressed up a bit.
Though of course if you're a traditionalist, well there's plenty of plain drinks!

Colis hates Halloween. Holidays themselves are a sore subject. But this festival in particular erks him. It's literally admiring demons! He will very vehemently refuse to participate, which is fine by the rest of the Deep. To distract himself, he makes his own spiced cakes to sell.
