This custom can be traced back to ancient Celtic festivals, but modern masquerade balls are more related to ghosts, witches and zombies.
At Halloween masquerade parties, people usually wear costumes related to Halloween themes, such as wizards, vampires, zombies, ghosts and so on. These clothes can be simple masks and costumes, or complex and exquisite homemade clothes. Some people even spend weeks or months preparing their clothes and cosmetics.
Masquerade balls are usually held at night, but they can also be held during the day. Places can be public places, such as parks, squares, bars, etc. , or private places, such as family and friends gathering. At the masquerade party, people can dance, sing, tell stories and participate in various games and competitions.
In addition, Halloween masquerade balls are often accompanied by various horror elements, such as horror music, horror movies and horror performances. These elements can increase the atmosphere and excitement of the event.
Introduction of Halloween symbols:
The jack-o-lantern is a symbol of Halloween. On Halloween, parents can make pumpkin lanterns with their children. In addition to the traditional pumpkin lantern, parents can also encourage their children to be creative and add more different elements to the pumpkin lantern to make a unique pumpkin lantern for themselves.
An Irishman named "Jack the Miser" is a stubborn alcoholic. He angered God and made the devil gnash his teeth at him, so after his death, he could neither go to heaven nor go to hell, but he could only be a lonely ghost among people, wandering the streets with a tattered radish lamp.
In order to prevent him from knocking at the door, people hang a pumpkin lantern carved into an evil shape on the door and put it around the house. People believe it will keep Jack away from their lives. Because of people's universal belief, the tradition of pumpkin lantern was born.
