It seems that Halloween is another foreign import here in Spain, something that people didn't tend to celebrate some years ago but it's all the rage nowadays (all the rage = in fashion).
Do you celebrate Halloween? If you do, how? In my case I always celebrate Halloween in class with everyone as well as some small celebrations with friends. This year some trick or treating with a friend and her daughter :)
Let's go over some different ways to celebrate... Some inspiration perhaps if you haven't made plans yet:-
- Go to a fancy dress competition - So many bars, pubs, schools or associations (fallas, etc) hold a fancy dress competition where the best costume, make up or even song sang wins a prize
- Go trick or treating - Trick or treat is a tradition in the UK, USA and even here in Spain nowadays. Children (and adults) visit houses and ask the owners if they would like a "trick" or they prefer to give them a "treat". The trick is normally a prank (a bad joke) and the "treat" (which can mean a "capricho" or a "deal") is normally when the residents give you some sweets to ensure they won't be victim of your "trick".
- A horror film marathon - There are endless horror films so a good scary line up at home is also a great way to spend "All Hallows Eve". Some suggestions are Friday 13th, Nightmare on Elm's Street, Annabelle or Poltergeist.
I hope you enjoyed these suggestions for Halloween! Feel free to share your Halloween plans in the comments below.
