When witches go riding,
and black cats are seen,
the moon laughs and whispers,
‘tis near Halloween.
Halloween is a yearly holiday observed around the world on October 31, the eve before the All Saints’ Day. The day is considered as the ‘feast day of the dead’.
On this day, kids wear scary outfits and carry lanterns made out of scooped out pumpkins and visit homes for trick-or-treat, to be rewarded with candies, cakes, fruits, and money. People consider that this is that time of the year when the physical and supernatural worlds are closest. To ward off the evil spirits, kids and adults disguise themselves as witches, vampires, etc., light bonfires and visit a church to pray.
Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o’-lanterns, visiting haunted attractions, lighting bonfires, playing pranks, telling scary stories, apple bobbing, and watching horror films, as well as the religious observances of praying, fasting and attending church services.
Halloween costumes are often designed to imitate supernatural and scary beings. To achieve close-to-real effects, costumes need matching accessories like masks, wigs, hats, makeup, shoes, jewelry and more.
