What is Halloween Custom?
Halloween comes from ancient Celtic festival called Samhain. People believed that on October 31 night, the boundary between living and dead becomes thin and spirits walk the earth. To confuse evil spirits, people wore scary costumes and carved pumpkins with candles inside called Jack-o'-Lantern to scare them away.
Today Halloween has turned into a global party with 6 main customs:
1. Costume – Main Custom:
Wearing costume is the biggest Halloween custom. People dress as scary, sexy, funny or as celebrities. This year Hollywood stars have already unveiled wild looks.
• Paris Hilton revealed her Halloween look days before October 31 and fans love it • Kim Kardashian hilariously dressed as her 13-year-old daughter North West with piercings for Halloween • Heidi Klum, the undisputed Queen of Halloween, teased her costume with colorful organ-like prosthetics and will unveil full look at her 25th anniversary Halloween party in New York City on October 31 • Keke Palmer and son Leodis recreated Michael and Janet Jackson Scream video for Halloween family ensemble
2. Trick or Treat:
Children walk house to house knocking doors shouting Trick or Treat? If you give them candy, good. If not, they play prank on you. Very popular in America.
3. Pumpkin Carving:
Cutting pumpkin, carving scary face, putting candle inside. Called Jack-o'-Lantern. Used to scare evil spirits from home.
