Halloween is a modern international holiday that harks back to the traditions of the ancient Celts of Ireland and Scotland, whose history began on the territory of modern Britain and Northern Ireland. Celebrated every year on October 31st, on the eve of All Saints Day. Halloween is traditionally celebrated in Western Europe and America, although it is not an official day off. Most holiday symbols have a long history. One of the most famous attributes is a pumpkin flashlight – it’s a hollow pumpkin with a terrible grimace carved on it and a candle stuck inside. Another important attribute is a masquerade: the costumes of characters in classic horror films are popular. The main themes of Halloween are evil spirits, death and monsters. The traditional Halloween colors are black and orange.
