A Halloween party
A Halloween party
Halloween is celebrated on 31st October; according to scholars it’s a feast to celebrate the memory of the dead. Halloween falls on the evening before the Christian holy days of All Hallows' Day. It is celebrated on 1st November in honor of the saints (both known and unknown).
October is a time for scaring and being scared. It is a time for Halloween parties. A great Halloween party needs great decorations, great costumes, and great food. Decorations are an important feature of a scary party. Orange and purple lights cast eerie shadows. Jack O’ Lanterns, glowing from within, top every table. Ghosts, with different horrifying faces, hang from the ceiling. Skeletons standing in doorways, and black cats in your path, help to set the mood. Another important aspect of a great Halloween party is the costumes. Terrifying witches and vampires, pretty princesses and fairies, silly clowns, and T.V. characters like Sponge Bob Square pants are just some of what you will see at a Halloween party. Everyone wants to win “best costume.” The last important aspect of a great Halloween party is the food. Soft drinks and other refreshments, like “blood” punch adorn the table. Things like “eyeball” soup, and “finger” sandwiches are also featured. Desert is a huge, orange pumpkin cake, or a Jell-O “brain.” In conclusion, Decorations, costumes, and food are the key components to throwing a spectacular Halloween party. All three essential features (decorations, costumes and food) make up a marvelous, gorgeous, and awesome Halloween party. People have a wonderful time in such parties, especially the ones made in the Middle East (because they don't usually celebrate such a party) and some people have trouble sleeping afterwards. (Because they get scared in the party). People of all ages have a wonderful time at your party, if you put some effort into making it a spooky event.

Halloween is the second most successful holiday behind Christmas and I don’t have enough paper to explain all of the reasons. Halloween comes in many colors but the ones we always associate it with are orange and black – orange represents the fall harvest and black represents darkness and death (creepy!).
