Although the words "Halloween" & "Pakistan" don't really go together but from the past couple of years this "western" festival is increasingly being adopted by the urban youth of Pakistan. Halloween in Pakistan is celebrated in what I call "pockets". The festival is almost entirely celebrated in an "underground" fashion with almost all the celebrations taking place in cafes or private parties. A few academic institutions also celebrate the dark festival. In Islamabad Bahria University is the only higher education institute which allows its students to drench in blood on Halloween :) The event is organized by the oldest student club of the university called BACSAP (Bahrians' Association of Computer Students and Professionals). Here are some clicks from 2011's & 2012's celebrations of the festival @ Bahria University. I am a Bahrian & was there on both the occasions.
1) Oh yeah ! We @ Bahria University call it "Haunted night" !

3) Some dark metal on the dark night !
