On October 31st, we celebrate Halloween,thought to be the one night of the year when ghosts, witches, and fairies are especially active. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.
Halloween costumes are traditionally those of monsters such as ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils. They are said to be used to scare off demons. Costumes are also based on themes other than traditional horror, such as those of characters from television shows, movies, and other pop culture icons.

Children usually knock on doors demanding a treat (Trick or Treat) and people disguise themselves as witches, ghosts, devils,… in order to obtain food and money from nervous householders.

People decorate their houses with monsters footprints, orange pumpkins (that can be used as candles), body parts, special sounds effects.

KEY WORDS: Trick or treat, witches, ghosts, pumpkins, monsters, devil.
