Monsters and candies.

WHAT'S HALLOWEEN?
Trick or treat! Halloween(All Hallows' Evening, literally the evening before the 'Feast of All Saints') is a party celebrated on the night of 31st October.Halloween celebrates a lot of things, like the lives of people who aren't with us any more.

ORIGIN.
Its history isn't clear...3000 years ago, the Celtics(people who lived in Ireland, England, Scotland and France) celebrated the end of year on 31st October with the Samhain. They practiced religious and spiritual rites because they thought that this night dead people resurrected.

TRADITIONS.
At night, people disguise as monsters(zombies, ghosts, whitches, vampires...) and go house to house saying 'trick or treat'(disguised people ask for candies and if they don't get them, they do a trick to the people who don't give candies). 

Jack-o-lantern is a carved pumkin used as a lamp to scare bad spirits.
Most popular sweets: nutty ghosts, spider cakes, frigthful sweets, shortbread fingers...
People gather around a bonfire and they tell scary stories.
