In Halloween normally we remember the dead people. In Spain we only dress up about scary characters and sometimes we decorate our house. Whereas in Germany we put pumpkins with faces in front of the house in the night of the 31th Octobre. We walk with scary costumes and lanterrns from house to house where we ask to get some sweets. In Italy is now a widespread custom to celebrate this haunted night. Parties and masked balls are held in nightclubs and discos to recall the atmosphere of the gruesome deaths of the spirits that roam the earth. In different regions of Italy, the ancient Celtic traditions were combined with local legends.
