Best Halloween Parties and Events Worldwide

Europe has begun adopting the Western tradition of Halloween party fun but, as Europe for Visitors About Guide James Martin says, "Be aware that finding European Halloween celebrations on the web is about as hard as finding an honest politician." (Ah - a costume idea!) A few spots are in on the Western fun, like Limoges, France: get a little background with ruminations from About.com's France For Visitors Guide Kelby Carr on why Halloween is becoming a happening event in France and see why you may want to make the party in Limoges with 30,000 other revelers:

Eastern Europe doesn't celebrate on Halloween (November 1st, All Saint's Day, is quite an event, though), but it's hard to think of Europe and spooky stuff without recalling the Romanian hometown of Count Dracula, unaffectionately known as "Vlad the Impaler" - check out these Transylvania photos snapped on Halloween and some bio info on Vlad's creepy life:
