Why do you need special costumes for Halloween?

Halloween needs special costumes, because it is said that on this night, all kinds of ghosts will dress up as children and mix with the masses to celebrate Halloween, while human beings dress up as ghosts to make ghosts more harmonious.

Halloween costumes originated from pranks, when adults take their children out together (usually adults drive to the side of the road and children say "trick or treat"). Adults ask children in advance that they can only go to houses with festive decorations and lights at the door, otherwise they are not allowed to disturb them.

In addition, in the process of begging for sugar, you must always stand at the gate and wait, and you are not allowed to enter the house. Recycled sugar must also be examined by adults before it can be eaten. Families receiving children are also required not to provide homemade food or unpackaged food.

The symbol of Halloween.

The symbols of Halloween are pumpkin lanterns (also known as jack lanterns, jack lanterns) and the story of pumpkins carved into lanterns. This story originated in ancient Ireland. The story is about a man named Jack. He is drunk and likes playing practical jokes.

One day, Jack tricked the devil into climbing a tree, and then carved a cross on the stump, threatening the devil not to come down. Then Jack made an agreement with the devil to let him come down from the tree on the condition that the devil promised to cast a spell so that Jack would never commit a crime. After Jack died, his soul could neither go to heaven nor go to hell, so his ghost had to rely on a small candle to guide him wandering between heaven and earth.

In the ancient Irish legend, this small candle was put in a hollowed-out radish, which was called "Jack lamp", while the old radish lamp evolved into a pumpkin-old-later. It is said that soon after the Irish arrived in America, they found that pumpkins were superior to radishes in source and carving, so pumpkins became Halloween pets.
