Halloween and the Day of the Dead are the most striking and popular celebrations in America that deal with the subject of death. By this time social networks like Instagram become a catwalk of costumes and accessories, we show you a selection of the most striking.
Halloween is a festival of Celtic cultures with a long tradition in countries such as Ireland, the United States, Great Britain and Canada, which has also seen significant growth in Latin America.
The celebration is based on the appreciation of the world of the dead from the dark arts, emphasizing the stories of witches, ghosts, and horror stories. It is celebrated every October 31 on the night before the Day of the Saints, according to Catholic tradition.
The tradition varies according to the country, although in America the celebration involves children walking around the neighborhood dressed as devils and witches asking candy to their neighbours or offering a barter to the souls more stingy, hence the English expression 'trick or treat '.
