Samhain to commemorate the end of summer and the beginning of a new year
common symbols of Halloween include spooky costumes, carved pumpkins
(Jack-o'-lanterns), witches, ghosts and horror-themed decorations, which are
part of the fun and folklore associated with this date.On Halloween, people
usually dress up in costumes, decorate their homes with scary themes and take
part in activities such as trick-or-treating, parties, watching scary movies and
telling scary stories. The main idea is to have fun and embrace the spirit of the
date, which revolves around themes of fright and creativity
