Getting Ready for Halloween

Scary movies are a great way to get into the Halloween spirit. Do you prefer the really frightening ones or those with a bit of humour?

@RasmaSandra The old horror movies have a charm of their own. Sometimes they can be even creepier than modern ones

@Nawsheen depends on what I can find I like both and the very old kind of horror movies also

That sounds like fun. I bet the pets will look adorable in their costumes. Are you planning to go and watch the contest?

@Nawsheen Yes, I do plan to see those cute little fur pets on their costume

A zombie pig that oinks. I would probably jump out of my skin if I walked past one in the dark.

I can understand that. We all have our own customs and traditions, and that is what makes learning about different cultures so interesting.

Halloween seems to be getting more popular in many places, even where it isn't traditionally celebrated. It is fun seeing all the spooky decorations and treats in shops. Too bad you couldn't find your Halloween muffin. Hopefully you'll come across one before Halloween.

@valherma00 I think Christmas has become more of a cultural and commercial celebration in some countries, rather than purely a religious one. People enjoy the decorations, gifts, food and festive atmosphere. It's a bit like Halloween becoming popular in countries where it wasn't traditionally celebrated. And yes, chocolate lollipops would be a nice alternative if you can't find that muffin!

@Nawsheen thank you, i hope i will or maybe chocolate lollipops. yes, it's gettign trendy.also, i never understood how some asian countries as japan and korea celebrate christmas when they aren't christians (some of them are christians but for the whole country, this is a big deal, i think).

I have seen some amazing pumpkin carvings too. I wonder how much time and patience it takes to create those detailed designs. Some are real works of art

It's interesting how Halloween is becoming more popular in so many countries. I suppose younger generations are embracing it more, especially with all the costumes, decorations and parties.

@JudyEv That's true. Shops certainly know how to turn every occasion into a business opportunity. Even people who don't celebrate Halloween might be tempted to buy something when they see all those decorations and treats.

@Nawsheen I think stores push it too as it means more business and income for them.

That was nice of them to invite you. You still have some time to decide whether you want to go. Sometimes it is the company that makes these parties enjoyable, rather than the occasion itself.

@Nawsheen My circle of friends will be there if they don’t have to work at night.
