Halloween is coming, or Halloween, which means that the streets will once again be occupied by children and young people in various costumes. The American custom, which has caught on well in Slovenia as well, has its origins in Celtic customs. The Celts put on fear-inducing masks so that evil spirits would mistake them for ghosts and leave them alone. Today, Halloween is a commercially interesting holiday that has grown into a worldwide phenomenon. People dress up in all kinds of costumes and masks, but if you think some of today's things are scary, then you haven't seen how people dressed up for Halloween back in the day! These costumes will give you nightmares!
Are you already thinking about what you will wear for Halloween or Halloween, as the English term for the holiday on October 31st.

Carnival and Halloween differ from this point of view mainly in the carving of pumpkins.
