Halｌoween

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31 when it was believed in the past that dead people appeared from their graves. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses", carving Jack-o'-lanterns, reading scary stories and watching horror movies. Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century. Halloween is celebrated in several countries of the Western world, most commonly in the UK, the United States, Canada, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, and occasionally in parts of Australia.
