Halloween is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31st. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating wearing costumes, carving jack-o´-lanterns, apple bobbing, telling scary stories and watching horror films.
Homes are often decorated with symbols around Halloween like ghosts, witches, skeletons, bats and black cats.
The colours black and orange are associated with Halloween perhaps because of the darkness of night and the colour of fire or pumkins.
Halloween costumes are traditionally those of monsters such as ghosts, skeletons, witches and devils...to scare off demons.
Trick-or-treating is a customary celebration for children. They go in costume from house to house asking for treats such as candies or sometimes money, with the question "Trick or treat?"
