Time for trick-or-treating?
Halloween traditionally falls on 31 October, on the eve of the All Hallow’s Day, a Western Christian Observance. It is the time of the year in the Christian calendar when martyrs, saints (hallows) and all the faithful departed are remembered.
Popular Halloween activities include attending Halloween costume parties, trick-or-treating, carving pumpkins into jack-o’-lanterns, visiting haunted attractions, and lighting bonfires around which people may sit and tell each other horror stories.

Halloween costume parties are famous for the different outlandish appearances the attendees make, modeled after animals, monsters, skeletons, vampires, witches or devils. Sometimes, even popular characters from fiction and celebrities appear at these costume parties, and there are even pet and dog lovers, who get little costumes for their dogs, from sites like Novelty Street, so they can go trick or treating too.
