The tradition of donning a spooky attire was followed to keep ghosts away on 31 October.

The night of 31 October was believed to be the night when spirits from the other world visited the living world every year.

Trick-or-treating is a customary celebration for children on Halloween.
Children go in costume from house to house, asking for treats such as candy.

Halloween costumes were traditionally modeled after figures such as vampires, ghosts, skeletons, scary looking witches, and devils,popular characters from fiction, celebrities, and generic archetypes such as ninjas and princesses.

On All Hallows’ Eve, many Western Christian denominations encourage abstinence from meat, giving rise to a variety of vegetarian foods associated with this day
