Lol in Germany clubs have to get a special permit to allow the club to be open past 12 am on Halloween because November 1st you’re not allowed to dance. Having a legal party that went after 12 am on Halloween was radical back when I was a teen
In a weird way I like that. It is such a funny and harmless way of defying social order to watch a forbidden movie and dance on one of these blacklisted days. It’s absolutely outdated and ridiculous but that makes the rule breaking somewhat wholesome.

That’s true. I grew up in Munich and they take that super seriously. At least they did 10-15 years ago.

It’s All Saints’. It’s also banned to show movies that mock religion like Life of Brian
