The Evolution of Halloween Costumes Halloween is assumed to have been around in some form for the last 2,000 years. During this time costumes have been one of the main highlights for the festivities.

stalking us as we in collect treats from house to house. Halloween. Yes, it all seems like simple fun, as we get to take part in parades, dress as your favourite character, and try to ignore the other individuals dressed as monsters, attempting to scare us.

On Halloween night everyone were getting ready to go trick-or-treating. They were putting on their costumes and then they were going to leave to have fun.

Halloween Narrative Problem: We dropped into a cave/pit and we need to get out. My mom, dad, my friend Lindsay, and me. This takes place in my neighborhood. We saw bats, heard noises, felt something touch me, smelled candy, and tasted candy. Scary and cliffhanger are the emotions in this story.
