Many of the French still aren’t sure. Earlier this week, Jean-Louis and Sylvie Graulle of Paris were in a Right Bank costume and magic shop, the Marvelous Doll, looking a bit confused.
They had been invited to their first Halloween bash, for adults only, and he planned to go as a vampire, she as a witch. Their 9-year-old son was staying home.“We don’t know why people celebrate it in France,” Jean-Louis Graulle, fingering a display of fake plastic scars, said of the strange new rite.
“Maybe on the commercial level it’s doing well, but this holiday isn’t part of French culture.”All signs, however, are that Halloween is fast becoming as French as raw oysters and foie gras on New Year’s Eve, driven by the increasing mingling of global cultures, fallout from American movies and TV programs, and commercial interests on the prowl for an effective sales hook. “Last year, we felt it was really starting to take off,” said Isabelle Cuadros, purchaser for La Kermesse, another Paris costume and holiday decoration shop. “You have young French people who have gone to the States during Halloween, and they come back raving about this mega-party. They’ve served as a sort of springboard for the holiday.”At the Marvelous Doll, sales of masks, pumpkins and other Halloween paraphernalia have skyrocketed in the past three years, and Oct. 31 “is now the biggest day on the calendar for us,” salesman Guillaume Beauquesne said.About 70% of the clientele is French. “A new opportunity to wear a costume, especially in an evil way,” the salesman said.Tracking the rapid spread of Halloween, the newspaper Le Monde this week found that the celebrations have filtered down to a few villages near the Loire River and Mediterranean coast.
Though France does mark the day after Halloween-Toussaint, or All Saints’ Day-as an official holiday, the weeks between autumn back-to-school sales and Christmas and New Year’s are retail doldrums. Now, “Halloween is becoming a commercial opportunity of the first order,” Babette Le Forestier, a retail research director, told Le Monde. “It is an effective promotional vehicle, whether for selling seasonal products or, quite simply, for creating a stir to increase one’s renown.”At Galleries Lafayette, a department store chain with 70 outlets, Halloween is being used as a sales theme for the first time this year. “We hope to do good business and sell 90% of the merchandise,” spokeswoman Laurence Tankere said. “For each franc invested, Halloween sales should bring in 2.5 francs.”There may be a deeper, atavistic instinct at the bottom of all this. Some sociologists have theorized that the French, like the denizens of many other modern societies, are hungry for ritual and tradition. In fact, Halloween’s roots may lie somewhere in the French past.
The ancient Celtic peoples of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and France believed that between harvest time and the onset of winter, the shroud keeping the living apart from the dead was at its most penetrable, and that spirits walked the Earth. It was Irish immigrants during the 19th century who brought the prototype of Halloween to the New World.Cuadros of the shop La Kermesse thinks the holiday has quickly become popular because it allows the French-who like to think of themselves as rational, faultlessly polite beings-to indulge some of their darker and more macabre fantasies. The most popular costumes, after all, are those of zombies, ghosts, vampires, witches and, this year, the Grim Reaper-like killer from the Wes Craven movie “Scream.”“We don’t want to be Snow White, we want to transform ourselves into the bad guy,” Cuadros said. “Halloween allows us every possibility to be frightful, to change ourselves with makeup and terribly ugly masks.” When night falls on Oct.
31, she said, the French “don’t want to wear the Mr. Nice Guy hat.”.
