It is all something that people in some way can relate to with their friends, and family. This is something that I can relate to and that’s why I feel that these photographs and descriptions…

One week before Halloween, Peytone’s mom, Deby, and dad, Chris, called her to come to the kitchen. Her brother, Luke, was there also. “Do you want to carve your pumpkin before your hip-hop recital?” “Yes, please.” They carved the pumpkins and Peytone’s pumpkin looked the scariest. Then they went to the hip-hop recital. When she was dancing, Peytone had to come off the stage because . . . she broke her leg! Peytone ended up in a wheelchair.

While trick-or-treating, my friends and I decided to explore a dark street, we had never noticed before. As we turned down Larr Road I was filled with dread as if I knew what awaited me. With all our bags full we decided to explore the “new” alleyway. Turning onto Zani Lane I ran to my mom’s house. Throwing the door open I sprinted upstairs to my room. Changing as quickly as I could I pulled on a pair of jeggings, some of my favorite kitten socks, and my black combat boots. After some time I…

The appearance of Trick-or-treating in the UK is largely to blame for the misconception that the entire Halloween holiday is an American creation. The word 'Halloween' is an abbreviation of 'All Hallow's Eve' which in turn denotes that October 31st is the the eve of 'All Hallows…

At sunset, the tree of us left my house collecting candy from door to door. About an hour into trick or treating, I told Derek that there are many houses that give out amazing candies across the forest. Derek agreed to go to the forest with us. The forest was abandoned and dark, when we got there. It was so dark that I could take my axe out of my bag without…
