Halloween
Halloween is fun for children
in the U.S. Neighbors who want visitors buy candy. They turn
on lights by their front door. They decorate their house with pumpkins
cut out into jack-o-lanterns. They put up pictures of witches.
They put up pictures of ghosts. They put up pictures of skeletons.
Sometimes grownups even dress up in costumes!
Children put on costumes.
They dress up as princesses. They dress up as pirates. They
dress up as firefighters. They dress up as witches. They dress
up as angels. They go from house to house (with their parents) in
their neighborhoods. They ring the doorbell, and when the door opens,
they say, "Trick or treat!" The neighbor may guess who they are,
or pretend not to recognize them. The neighbor gives them candy!
Some families have a party
and invite friends. People eat popcorn, and orange candies shaped
like corn. Some candy is shaped like pumpkins. People play
games, or have a prize for the best costume. Sometimes teenagers
buy tickets to go to a special "haunted house." The haunted house
is dark and scary. There are spider webs, with big spiders in them.
There are bats. There is scary music. There are people pretending
to be monsters and witches. Teenagers like being scared in a haunted
house! It is like going to see a scary movie.
