When I was a young kid, I wished to wear a dracula costume. It never happened because Halloween parties and the like are not that popular to celebrate in my country. Things have changed through the years, and many locals are doing it here. Most kids are excited to do trick or treat, too.
Speaking of a myth, dracula was named by a writer, Bram Stoker. He got the name from the prince who ruled Wallachia, Vlad III. At his time during the 15th century, he was called "Dracula," and it means the "son of Dracul."
Have you ever worn any scary costumes before?

I'm glad to hear that Halloween has become more popular in your area. The history behind Dracul is quite interesting.
I usually always wore a gypsy costume. That's because my mom had a lot of jewelry.
