Halloween Symbols and Costumes
Black is one of the customary Halloween colors, as the Halloween revelry takes place at night time. Ghosts, witches, bats, and spiders are some of the conventional Halloween figures and animals, as they are associated with night and darkness.
Blood, jack-o-lanterns, gravestones, and skulls are other objects symbolic of Halloween.
Popular Halloween costumes include witches, cannibals, monsters, mummies, werewolf, vampire, zombies…..and many more crazy outfits!
Celebrations and Common traditions of Halloween
The most noted feature of Halloween celebrations is playing ‘trick-o-treat’. Children dressed in ‘trick-o-treat’ costumes go from door to door and shriek, “Trick-o-Treat” while the neighbors drop in candies, gifts and other goodies in their bags.
The people in the US decorate their homes during Halloween with jack-o-lanterns, spider-webs, skeletons, and other ‘scary’ items. No Halloween party is complete without a few scary stories.
Other traditions include, carving the pumpkin, bobbing for apples, crafting haunted houses and graveyards, watching horror films, and a lot more…
Get spooky, get spooked. Be vile and wicked, let the evil dr.....ip and the malevolence ooo.... ze!
