Halloween 2012

Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of "All Hallows' Evening"), also known as All Hallows' Eve is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on October 31, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows (or All Saints).

The countries where Halloween is celebrated include mainly the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia and Ireland. According to many scholars, it was originally influenced by western European harvest festivals and festivals of the dead with possible pagan roots. The festival was introduced in Poland in the early 90s.

Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (also known as "guising"), attending costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.
