Halloween Should Not Be Allowed

Halloween is a night of sweets, outfits, and fun that exclusively comes around once per year on October 31st. This is a period when individuals get an opportunity to dress up and be somebody or something else. Individuals can go to parties, haunted houses, or go trick or-treating. There are things to people do no matter their age. Halloween is filled with rich with history, old religious convictions, and stories.

Halloween is the one night of the year you can go door to door and ask for candy. It doesn't matter who you are because you can dress up as something you're not. However, as the years go by less and less people want to dress up because everyone may believe it is just a kids holiday but Trick or Treating should not be restricted to the age of kids because it could decrease the sales in store businesses and people with jobs will no longer consider halloween a holiday for them.

Halloween is one of the major events of America’s tradition. I’m fond of the idea of dressing up in awesome costumes. Kids put lots of effort into dressing up and walking down the street, getting candy. It is a big night for trick-or-treating. The trick-or-treating is my favorite part of Halloween. Halloween these days is a threat to our cities. It is one of the deadliest days of the year. For example, the rising in deaths of kids getting hit by cars, the car accidents involved with drunk drivers, and the feeling of being insecure walking at night in the community.

With the increase in reinterpretations of death and Halloween symbols, two fundamental things occurred, the mass commodification of Halloween and a decontextualization of the symbols of death. In 1978 the premiere of Halloween, directed by John Carpenter, directly placed the holiday itself in relation to horror and gruesome death, more so than the introduction of gothic horror ever did (Rogers 110; Khapaeva 58). The introduction of explicit horror, according to Rogers, created. “a coded language that enables authors and invites their audiences to explore their fears, hidden desires, and anxieties” (110). This established a creative space in which fantasy and dissociation could be merged creating a popularization of death without actually dealing with the reality of death itself. It created a space where the narrative of horror and death could be controlled and regulated, through established archetypes. This directly contrasted the collective psyche of the 1970s and 80s in the United States, which was dealing with the ramifications of the AIDS epidemic (the worst epidemic since Polio), and an increase in social, religious, and political conservatism (Khapaeva 78). Through horror movies and Halloween, social anxieties could be dealt with in an a-political and creative way, while still maintaining the sanitized separation of hospital and culture.

Fall is in the air and it is almost time for the Halloween festivities to begin. Most of us will attend a gathering of some sort to celebrate. These gatherings can be incredibly fun but they can also allow temptation to creep in and turn your good time sour.

The holiday of Halloween is also known as “All Hallows Eve”, which can be traced back to more than 2,000 years ago to a Pagan and Celtic festivity. This festival known as “Samhain” (meaning summers end in Gaelic) took place on November 1. The reasons behind these festivals can be for multiple reasons including the gathering of people at the

Halloween was started over two thousand years ago. On November 1st there was a holiday called Samhain. It was celebrated for the end of summer and was to fear away the ghost. The people believe on October 31st all dead came back to life from the underworld. So people would war masks to fit in with the spirits. Then Pope Gregory III change November 1st to all saints day

Halloween is by far my favorite time of the year as it is the one day where walking around with a mask on is accepted by others. Masks hold quite a unique place in society and have been a part of human traditions for many years. It can transform anyone into something else entirely. A mask can hide the secret identity of a superhero, turn an actor into a character, or even allow creatures to walk among men. You may never know what is behind a mask until it is removed, but that is the best part of Halloween. Nobody is going to take off anyone’s mask. No one is going to strip away my disguise and reveal what is underneath. This is the real world and on Halloween I am able to hide in plain sight. Without this special occasion I would never be able

It started as a Celtic end-of-summer celebration amid which individuals felt particularly near expired relatives and companions. For these benevolent spirits, they set spots during supper, left treats on doorsteps and at the edge of the street and lit candles to help friends and family discover their way back to the soul world. The present Halloween phantoms are frequently delineated as more fearsome and malignant, and our traditions and superstitions are scarier as well. We abstain from running into dark felines, apprehensive that they may bring us misfortune. This thought has its underlying foundations in the Medieval times, when many individuals trusted that witches kept away from identification by transforming themselves into dark felines. We make an effort not to stroll under stepping stools for a similar reason. This superstition may have originated from the old Egyptians, who trusted that triangles were consecrated. Also, around Halloween, particularly, we endeavor to abstain from breaking mirrors, venturing on splits in the street or spilling

“Teens arrested for drunk driving,” You see in big bold letters on the newspaper. The Local Government is considering making a age limit for trick-or-treater’s. Making it illegal to participate in the Halloween is not a good idea , because it can push teens to do other things that are not positive, and it doesn't allow them to be kids to enjoy their youth.

The most interesting fact I learned from the article was... people dressed up like ghosts, vampires, and other scary creatures because they believed they could scare spirits of the dead away if they dressed scary-like. It has been carried down with for many years but we celebrate it and its fun for kids to dress up. It struck me funny that this was the reason kids dress up for Halloween; and they don’t know why they are other than to get candy. I’ve never been trick-or-treating but it’s odd to know why they do.

Halloween you don’t really have a big table with food on it,and everybody comes and eat.For Halloween you just pretty much just go trick or treating and eat the following MABEY…..

One ancient tradition of Hallows Eve was to wear costumes. It was thought that if you could trick the spirit into thinking you were one of them, the spirit would refrain from bothering you. As with so much of our Halloween traditions, a superstition is linked to the wearing of a costume. It was thought that visiting ghosts could disguise themselves in human form, such as a beggar, and knock on your door asking for money or food. If you turned them away empty-handed, you risked that spirit deciding to curse or haunt you. This is where our idea of “trick or treating” came from. It wasn’t until the 1950’s that trick-or treating became popular in the United States. Of course, costumes are a huge part of going out on Halloween night, knocking
