Hallowe'en or Hallows' Eve provides a splendid opportunity for participants to celebrate the festivity of this unique cultural event, and for the community to enact unusual customs and quaint traditions originating centuries ago. It is also a night when supernatural spirits are believed to temporarily re-visit the world of the living, and suitably macabre disguises be worn to protect against such entities. From the use of bonfires and jack-o'-lanterns, mischievous pranking and the modern adoption of trick or treating, to the host of supernatural visitors and exotic creatures that have become Halloween folklore, this book explores the various ways of celebrating this night-of-nights. This includes Halloween parties and parades, popular attractions and spooky confectionary, and a generous sprinkling of haunting tales of myth and legend as well. This will allow you to immerse yourself in Hallowe'en; the most elaborate festival of the seasonal harvest and commemoration of ethereal spirits.
