3. Day of the Dead
•
Celebrations might seem to be very similar to Halloween. In both celebrations people dress up
in costumes, there are a lot of skeletons everywhere, and there are special sweet treats and
candies given out
•
•
•
People spend a lot of time in graveyards and death imagery is everywhere
The Day of the Dead holiday is about celebrating the dead, not being afraid of the dead
A holiday for people to honor their ancestors and loved ones who have passed away and invite
those spirits back into their homes to be part of the family once more

4. Trick-or-Treat?
•
Halloween has only been celebrated in the US for a relatively short time
•
People who refused to give anything would sometimes find chalk drawings on their doors the next morning or find they
were the victims of other pranks
•
These structured Halloween events also usually feature games, activities, and clowns and other performers to make the
event even more special
•
Many neighborhoods have also designated special Trick-or-Treat hours to prevent a lot of Halloween mischief and help
protect the safety of Trick-or-Treaters
