Halloween



(Happy Halloween!!)

October 31st was a day of traditions for preventing unnatural or scary events happening in the early European countries. The people used many traditions to prevent evil form coming to them. The word ‘Halloween’ was also a Christian modernized word for October 31st;; it has little to do with evil. However, Halloween has gradually become a holiday for dressing-up, and a day when wearing odd costumes is publicly normal. Halloween is now modernized to fade away the idea of scary, and bring creativity in society.

Orange and black are the symbolic colors for the Halloween theme. There are also many other events symbolizes Halloween, including pumpkins, ghosts, bats, witches, villains, and more. Moreover, Trick-or-Treat was one of the famous American Halloween tradition that still exist. This was a modernized event designed for Halloween, and for people to interact through their creative costumes.

Around the time of Halloween, Disneyland and Disney World will have Disney villain characters come out, and the whole theme park will be covered with Halloween decorations. Halloween is taken more seriously in society as a time for play and fun. More and more stores and companies are noticing the Halloween idea in the society, and making special offers and designs like it is for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Undeniably, it is a great time for a break and for some creativity; people role play and dress up. The costumes do not have to be scary; it is just a way for people to be entertained through ‘the creative communication through costumes.’  Halloween has become a chance for creativity and design to takeover.


Halloween is a time to be creative with costumes, decorations, and character.
