Halloween is celebrated both in US and the UK. Children dress in special clothes to try to look frightening, for example as ghosts or witches, and people make jack o´lanterns by cutting faces in pumpkins and putting a light inside. Children go trick-or-treating (they go from house to house, dressed as witches, ghosts, etc. knocking on doors and saying “trick or treat!”). The people in the houses must then either give the children a “treat” (usually sweets) or the children will play a trick on them.
Children and older people sometimes go to Halloween parties, where they play games such as “bobbing for apples”, when they try to catch an apple floating in water by using their teeth. Food at these parties is usually made to look weird, for example by making it a strange colour or by making it in the shape of a witch, as ghost or a bat. Many of these Halloween traditions originally come from the US, but they are now also common in the UK.
