21. SOUNDBITE (Romanian) Alexandru Carabelea, festival-goer:
“Although (Halloween) is regarded as a pagan celebration, for the cosplayers and for Romanians in general, this being a holiday we borrowed from Americans, we care more about its fun aspects, about costumes and enjoyable times although we know that the celebration originally stands for something completely opposite. I am a part of the majority that likes wearing costumes, having fun, socializing with loved ones and spending a ‘scary’ time together.”

“This is extraordinary, this is the first time that I celebrate Halloween properly because I haven’t had an opportunity before. I wanted to do this since I was a child. So everything here gets 10 out of 10 marks from me, the food, the energy, the atmosphere, the decorations, everything is absolutely perfect.”
