it is a celebration of Celtic origin that in the twentieth century took on distinctly macabre and commercial forms in the United States with which it became known.
It is a celebration observed in many countries on October 31, on the eve of the Western Christian holiday of All Saints. Halloween activities include trick-or-treat blackmail, attending costume parties, carving jack-o’-lantern pumpkins, lighting bonfires, divination games, pranking, visiting haunted attractions (e.g. . the horror house and the ghost train), tell scary stories and watch horror movies. The symbolism of the festival is linked to death and the occult
The development of objects and symbols associated with Halloween has been taking shape over time. For example, the use of carving pumpkins with frightening or grotesque expressions goes back to the tradition of carving turnips to make lanterns with which to remember the souls stuck in Purgatory. Turnip has traditionally been used on Halloween in Ireland and Scotland, but immigrants to North America used the native pumpkin, which was available in large quantities and was larger in size, thus making carving easier. The American tradition of carving pumpkins dates back to 1837 and was originally associated with harvest time in general, while it was associated specifically with Halloween in the latter half of the twentieth century.
Black, purple and orange are the traditional colors of this holiday.
The use of pumpkins during the feast of the dead is also present in the peasant culture of Tuscany. In the period between August and October, a pumpkin was emptied, openings in the shape of eyes, nose and mouth were carved, it was filled with a lighted candle and placed outside the house after sunset and rags were applied to simulate a dress , as if it were a scarecrow. The purpose was to scare the children sent out with an excuse.
