Later, Catholic Church assigns the Christian feast of All Saints to November 1. Therefore, All Saints Day, known as “Hallowmas” continues the ancient Celtic traditions.
In our days, Halloween had become a secular but community centered holiday, which includes parades, costume parties, entertainment and fun.
Bats, artificial cobwebs, skulls, black cats, vampires, skeletons, witches, etc. decorate houses, patios, gardens. Children are scared with spooky stories and you try to be prepared for the night of October 31st.
Decorate Your Home for Halloween
1. Pumpkins:
Pumpkins are indubitable the most popular symbol of Halloween. I do not think we can conceive a Halloween celebration without pumpkin.
They are carved and placed in windows with a light inside. They protect the house, scaring the evil spirits. A pumpkin carved face, a delicious pumpkin pie and a frightening story and the Halloween is already here.
2. Colors:
This holiday is unique even through its colors. You want a true atmosphere for your Halloween. Choose orange and black pillows. They can have a great impact in your home decoration, getting you in the Halloween mood.

Lighting is the utmost importance to create the Halloween feeling. Dim lighting and shadows, dark corners, make a party to be successful.

A light in skull, floating eyeballs in the bathroom tub, a cobweb made from ripped cheesecloth over the mirror can make a frightening décor for any bathroom.

You put your imagination to work. Drape bushes with cobwebs. Hang skulls and carved pumpkins from the tree branches. A coffin in the middle whit the lid half opened and…
7. Don’t Forget Your Candy Bowl:
Having a full candy bowl is very important for your house protection. Most of the trick or treat little guys will keep you in their mind if your bowl is empty.
