Halloween

Halloween is a festival which happens once a year on the

31st of October. It is celebrated in lots of different

countries, especially in England. Children dress up in different scary costumes and

go ‘trick or treating. Halloween is one of my

favourite english traditions.

Origins

• Halloween comes from the Celtic tradition. On the night of October 31, it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

There are lots of different Halloween costumes in England, and the children have lots of fun dressing up with their friends. The most common Halloween costumes are:

A scary witch A black catThe devil

I celebrate Halloween every year, even now at

University. Usually I dress up as a red devil or a black cat, but last year me and my

best friend dressed up as bats. Here is a

picture for you to look at.

It’s very common in England to have a Halloween party.

This means wearing scary costumes,

playing games like ‘bob the apple’ and

decorating the house with spooky

decorations like cobwebs and lots of

fake blood!
