The Halloween celebration originated from an ancient Celtic festival about 2,000 years ago. By
the beginning of the twentieth century, Halloween became a holiday for community and neighborly
gathering, and Halloween parties for both children and adults became the most common way to
celebrate the day.
Today’s Halloween traditions include trick-or-treating and dressing in costume. Children visit
houses around their neighborhood and are given food and money. Halloween’s main celebration is
parties where guests wear horror costume to reflect the day’s theme. Among teens and kids, however,
Halloween costumes inspired by TV shows and movies are more popular, such as pirate, spider man,
and Disney princess. Party venues are usually decorated by various symbols associated with
Halloween, such as pumpkin lanterns, witches, wizards, ghosts, spirits and characters from horror
films.
Besides attending or throwing a party, many people, especially young adults, like to visit
haunted houses. Travel agencies see this as a business opportunity and offer special Halloween travel
packages. The Halloween costumes and symbols lead many businesses to promote products with a
Halloween theme, which makes Halloween today more commercial.
