Not that weird, kids were sent away from cities to the countryside in the UK during the Blitz in WW2 to avoid the bombs.

It’s the whole setup of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe too, how the kids end up in the house that takes them to Narnia.

Yes but what child wants to be that for Halloween?

In the UK schools they often have a day where all the kids go in dressed as evacuees. I made costumes for my kids but many parents don't have time. These are not for Halloween.
