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

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 It’s absolutely outdated and ridiculous but that makes the rule breaking somewhat wholesome.

And a real burden to clubs that want Halloween to be a good time for their patrons. Many Germans will report people having illegal fun even if nobody is actually harmed.

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