Countdown to Halloween
Every year, on the last night of October, millions of children across the U.S dress-up in costume and take to the streets for a spooky dose of Trick or Treat fun. During the last 10 years it became more and more popular in Europe as well. One reason is obviously the idea of setting up new markets for themed merchandise, but there is also a lot of fun when you join a Halloween party. A very interesting fact is, that Halloween's origin is - you guessed it - EUROPEAN! Other very interesting stories can be found at the site of the historychannel by following this link.
Oh, and we have a very special movie recommondation, a true classic, fantastic movie - not only for Halloween (but heavily based on it ;-) THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS by Tim Burton. Enjoy!
