    Halloween is basically a holiday which is celebrated on 31st October. The kids get involved in activities like, trick or treat, bonfire, ghost tours, costume parties etc. It is located in almost all parts of the Western world.

    Halloween gets its past from the festival of Samhain. It is the celebration of end of the harvest season. This time period is called as Celtic New Year. In those times, the ancient Celtic pagans stocked supplies and slaughter livestock during this period.

    They believed that when this day arrives the boundary between living and dead is dissolved. So Costumes and masks were worn by them to mimic the evil spirits in order to placate them.
