Kids
shouting out loud “trick or treat” and going from house to house is
something that we all have seen in plenty of Hollywood movies and
series. Halloween is a festival which is celebrated with a lot of
eagerness and festive spirits on 31st October. Halloween 2019 is due to
fall on a Thursday this year, and with it very close, we are sure you
all are geared up for it. But, before we get into planning things like
Halloween decorations, Halloween costumes and Halloween pumpkin designs
that you would want to have, let us take a closer look at understanding
why this festival is actually celebrated.
History of the Haunting Halloween
As
much as we would like to believe that Halloween is merely about
dressing up as your favourite characters and superheroes, there is
actually so much more to it. The origins of this festival can be traced
back to the Samhain era, where people burned the dry crops and lit
fires, dressed in robes to keep the bad and evil spirits away. What
started off as a mere tradition to keep the evil spirits at bay, slowly
graduated to a holiday that people all around the world observe. From
field fires to the making of lit pumpkins and from evil spirits to
dressing up as whoever one wants to be. Halloween has become a festival
that is celebrated with great enjoyment and thrill.
But,
Halloween wasn’t always known as Halloween. In fact, in true sense,
October 31st is the day which falls a day before the Christmas holidays
of All hollow Days, which is commonly known as All Saints or Hallowmas
which falls on 1st November and All Souls Day on the 2nd of November.
Trust us, there is a lot of history involved behind the observation of
this day, and indeed it can be one which is filled with excitement and
fun as well. So, let us take a look at some of the ways in which people
prepare for the spooky Halloween Day.
Halloween Decorations
The
one thing that probably all people look forward to with anticipation
is the whole process of decorating their surroundings to give the
spooky and scary feel. There is no limitation to go and experiment with
how you want to decorate for Halloween. Just think of the scariest and
creepy things that haunt you and others, and your ideas will come
naturally.
So, what all scares
people? Scary Jack O Lanterns, spiders, half-cut bloody fingers, witch
and witches, and not to forget ghosts. If you ever saw Addams Family,
you might get more ideas as well. Vampires, eyeballs, bats and black
cats. Actually, come to think of it ideas for Halloween decorations are
limitless and you can think out of the box to get something new each
year. So, waste no more time and get thinking about the spookiest and
creepiest ideas!
Halloween Cupcakes
Just
because it is scary that doesn’t mean that it can’t be sweet! Kids and
adults both enjoy their sweet tooth cravings and what better way to
satisfy that sweet tooth than by preparing the Halloween cupcakes?
This is where you can test your creativity and then taste it too. There
are tons of ideas that you can opt for and trust us the more creative
the better.
Bake cupcakes in the
simplest ways and then aff cream frostings with the spooky-Licious
designs such as skeleton faces, spider webs, Frankenstein faces, or
anything else that gives you the heebie-jeebies. Everyone will enjoy
gorging on these sweet treats and isn’t that something everyone wants
in the first place?
Halloween Pumpkin Designs
Rather
than lighting the entire crop fields on fire, the friendly yet scary
alternative was the Jack O Lanterns. During the sleepy Halloween days,
there is a rise in the sale of pumpkins simply because people carve
them, and on the inside, they place candles and then light them.
The
idea is so to spook those few by carving anything from scary Joker
faces to the faces of the hollow man and angry and creepy witch faces.
If you haven’t already bought your pumpkin get started and go through
the various Halloween pumpkin designs that you can carve.
Halloween Costumes
Probably
the most looked forward to an aspect of Halloween is the part where
people get to dress up and wear customized Halloween costumes. Just
like in the case of Halloween decorations and Halloween cupcakes, there
is a range of ideas that you can choose from to dress up before you go
trick or treating. Let’s face it the number of treats that you get,
all depends on how well you style your Halloween costume.
Now,
just because it is the haunting Halloween doesn’t mean that you have
to dress up as something creepy only, you can also dress up as a
superhero that you admire or a cartoon character that you love, as long
as you have the costume and make up for it. Some of the ideas that you
can choose from are:
- Joker from the Batman series
- Addams family members
- Catwoman
- Minions
- Any witch or wizard
- The Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland
- Superman
- Men In Black costume
- Queen of Hearts Halloween costume
- Minnie Mouse Halloween costume
- Skeleton Halloween costume
- Flinstones Halloween costume
The
range and possibilities are endless and it all depends on how creative
you can get. There are people who start putting up their Halloween
decorations well in advance and also start preparing their Halloween
cupcakes and Halloween costumes way before the day of Halloween which
falls each year on the 31st of October. Halloween is indeed a day which
everyone looks forward to, and celebrates with great excitement and
merriment. The towns are full of colour and elaborate designs and
people are excited to get innovative with some of the most random and
interesting Halloween costumes.
So,
this year, what and who are you planning to be for Halloween 2019?
It’s time to put on your thinking caps and get thinking right away.
Have a Happy and Spooky Halloween everyone!
