Halloween falls on October 31st. It is one of the most favourite holidays for children in the USA. People dress up in costumes (化妆服装) like a witch (巫婆), a ghost （鬼）or a skeleton （枯髅）. The children go to houses to say “Trick or treat!” Long ago, if a child was not good, he or she would get a trick like having a stone in his or her bag instead of some candy. Nowdays, no one gets tricks. All the children receive lots and lots of candy. Parties are also popular in the evening. People go to parties in costumes and play different games. People also like listening to ghost stories and watching scary (恐怖的) movies.
