The night of Halloween is the most "haunted" night of the year, so it is also called "Ghost Festival" in Western countries.Later, manufacturers would launch the most popular character designs of the year, including masks and clothing, into the market every year in an effort to get more people involved in the craze for traditional Western festivals. Although it has a bit of a commercial color, people enjoy it. Halloween was originally a festival to praise autumn, just like May Day is a festival to praise spring. It is a kind of beautiful wish and yearning for life. People in Western countries believe that on that night their great god of death, Saman, will summon all the ghosts of those who died that year, then light torches and watch them strictly. This shows that people are full of awe of God and extremely disgusted with devil-like people. 2021 Halloween Customs and Activities (Western)1. Trick or treat if you don’t give them candy <br /> When night falls, the children can’t wait to put on colorful costumes, put on all kinds of strange masks, and carry a “Jack-O’-Lantern” to run out to play. The "Jack-O'-Lantern" looks very cute. It is made by hollowing out a pumpkin, carving smiling eyes and a big mouth on the outside, then inserting a candle into the pumpkin and lighting it. People can see this adorable smiling face from a long distance. After everything was packed up, groups of children dressed up as monsters and ghosts, carrying Jack-o'-lanterns, ran to their neighbors' doors, shouting threateningly: "Do you want a prank or a treat?", "Give me money or food?" If adults don't treat them with candy or pocket money, those naughty children will do what they say: Okay, if you don't treat me, I will play a trick on you. Sometimes they put soap on other people's door handles, and sometimes they paint other people's cats. These little pranks often make adults laugh and cry. Of course, most families are very happy to entertain these innocent little guests, so the children on Halloween Eve always have full stomachs and pockets.2. Ghost Parade <br /> On October 31, the eve of Halloween, the streets of the United States are filled with wonderful live performances, illusion magic on the stage, lifelike zombies and ghosts, and the screening of various horror movies. At night, they quickly set up the spider silk and helped the actors who were responsible for scaring people put on makeup. The contents of haunted houses are mostly related to movie themes, such as: The Mummy, Peculiar Adventure, and Ghost Stories. The layout, makeup techniques and costumes of these scenes are so real that they will definitely make you scream if you are not careful. 3. Carnival of Humans and Ghosts <br /> New York City also holds a parade on Halloween night, where a group of vampires, zombies, witches, Frankenstein and others appear together. Citizens are welcome to visit the parade. There is no limit on age, gender, class or nationality. Even if you are a coward, you can join them and have a lively carnival of human and ghosts.
