Halloween is an originally religious celebration that has become a popular holiday in many countries, especially in the USA and Canada. It is celebrated on the 31st of October, the eve of All Hallows’ Day. The word ‘Halloween’ is a contraction of ‘All Hallows’ Evening’.

A Halloween costume party is an event where everyone should be dressed up as ghosts, witches, skeletons etc, although in many cases people choose less ghost-related costumes and dress up as pirates, robots, popular shows and videogames characters.

Haunted attractions usually feature scary characters such as horror movie villains or ghosts and zombies.

The activity that little children are fond of is trick-or-treating. Kids wear costumes, knock on their neighbors’ doors and say ‘Trick or treat!” The phrase suggests ‘You either give me a treat or we play a trick on you’. According to the rules of the game, grown-ups are supposed to give a treat to the children, usually a bunch of candies. Children love this activity because it is fun and they end up collecting a lot of candies from grown-ups.

Another traditional Halloween activity is making jack-o’-lanterns. A jack-o’-lantern is a hollow pumpkin carved in a particular way. It looks like a head with a creepy smile and a candle inside. This is probably the most recognizable symbol of Halloween.
