Attach the clothes to a broomstick or rake that is planted into the ground. Find something round for the head, a pumpkin works well for this, and place a straw hat on top. You could even make this a little scarier by putting fake blood on the scarecrow's clothes or maybe a fake knife in the
Late autumn has arrived and with it comes the dark magic of Halloween--and, of course, the
The poem “Halloween” does such a great job at conveying that image of trick or treating. This poem takes into account the nostalgic feeling one gets when looking back at past memories such as this. Going door to door dressed in your favorite outfit. The use of imagery is so strong it is easy to be right there almost as if it were yesterday. The poet Mac Hammond writes “Kids come, beckoned by / Fingers of shadows on leaf-strewn lawns / To trick or treat” (15-17). This goes on to describe the pull and excitement a child gets when arriving at a house. The shadows of the owners Halloween decorations are cast onto the fall lawn, calling children to the front door. Not only does this give the reader an image of the fall weather, but of the Halloween decorations on someone’s house. Children tend to be drawn towards homes with decorations because it feels more welcoming. Therefore, this is where the beckoning feeling comes from. Not only does Hammond do a wonderful job by using imagery, but also the sound personified in this poem is
It's a tradition for my sister and I to make our Halloween costumes together and carve pumpkins - you know, the whole nine yards. Sometimes our dad would help, but usually it was just us and the dog outside. We would constantly be covered in some kind of paint or dye, whether it be fake blood, face paint, fabric paint, or some years even tea. (We got creative.) The costumes ended up being cool,
There is no arguing Walt Disney practiced what he preached. In fact, he did what he did so well that people continue to bring others to see what he did to this day, that being Disneyland. First, we’ll start by learning about the background history of Disneyland. Next, we’ll compare Disneyland from when it first started to what it has developed into. And finally, we’ll explore all the eight parks and what they have to offer.
Everybody celebrates Halloween, but some people might celebrate the spooky holiday in a variety of ways. Most people celebrate this holiday by going door to door asking the greeters for candy while in their costumes. Others may see the night as an advantage to play pranks on others or even to create public haunted houses or haunted trails. For people that like to hold public events, they may create costume parties. For those that are either lazy or they just don’t want to participate in the events, they may spend the night by staying in their houses and doing an activity of their own. Most do not know this, but Halloween was originally a holiday to honor loved ones who passed.
The tell tale signs of an approaching Halloween include your favourite candies having undergone a spooky makeover, horror movie marathons on the television for you to watch alone (or are you?) late at night, haunted houses popping up seemingly out of nowhere and of course, who could forget the infamous jack-o-lanterns?
If you think butchering an innocent animal for its blood is evil? Because I certainly do! These crimes and a whole lot worse are connected to coven’s and witchcraft. Including dare I say human sacrifice? Who would ever teach or want there children to repeat type of morbid evil to the core behavior. Oh there will be those who say it’s not so bad? Or so what? Because they’ve been desensitized to just how evil and cruel they really are by books and movies that show them as good witches or trying to repackage it in a much more friendly seeming way. I’m not saying that everyone who reads a book like harry potter or watches a movie concerning witches will become one. But what we are saying is those are tools whereby far too many, even Christians have become desensitized to the real evils of witch craft. And especially on Oct 31st, Its not right for evil to be promoted or marketed on this day! A day is what you make it! But who in there right mind wants to celebrate evil or anything evil or wrong done to them or there family or any other for that matter? Don’t get me wrong I’m not against the idea of Halloween. When I was a kid, even as I grew older in a way, it was one
When Halloween approaches, I feel the air becoming cooler and the nights becoming longer. Clouds over lap the moon creating an eerie look in the sky. Children grow more and more excited to put on their costumes, and they spend one night out of the whole year going door to door getting free candy. As I have grown up over the years, Halloween is celebrated differently for me. I always notice that even though it is celebrated differetly the people haven’t changed and that’s what makes it memorable.
Due to the strict religious beliefs of early colonial Americans, it was extremely limited. As many cultures began to mix, America's own version of Halloween began to emerge. By the second half of the nineteenth century, America was flooded with new immigrants. These new immigrants, especially the millions of Irish fleeing Ireland’s potato famine of 1846, helped to popularize the celebration of Halloween nationally. It was from this sudden immigration that came to the story of the jack o lantern. The story basically told is that in 10th century Ireland there was a mischievous man named jack. Once in the middle of his schemes, he was encountered by the devil. In the middle of this confrontation, he tricked the devil into climbing a tree. After that, he drew a cross on the tree and that meant the devil couldn’t get down. So he made a deal with the devil. If he let him go, the devil could not let him go to hell. The devil agrees and jack lets him go. The years passed and Jack eventually dies. He couldn’t enter hell because of his deal, but he couldn’t enter heaven because he was too sinful. So he was cast away to somewhere in between. In this place, he could find a pace for his soul to rest. He was in total darkness. So he asked the devil if he could at least see where he was going so he could find a place to rest. So the devil tossed him

With a simple bat template, you can cut out these realistic looking bats and get imaginative by using different sizes. If your ceiling allows, place branches across and hang the bats from the branches to give an even more realistic night-time scary appearance. The two brooms in the corner let you know all is not necessarily peaceful inside as the presence of bats could mean Count Dracula is visiting. Placing an array of pumpkins on your steps or porch in different sizes and colors adds to the Halloween theme.
The purpose of this is to celebrate the people who are dead or passes away already. To create this celebration you have to make an Altar to place a picture of the People in your family who are already dead. You place the bet fruit of the season. There are huge parades, a lot of food. This represents life and ambulance. Halloween is very different to the day of the death they don’t do the same celebration as each other. For these reasons above Halloween and the day of the death are very different. The day of the death is to celebrate death/Passed away people. They usually make an altar to put food and fruit a picture of the dead people who you loved. This is a great celebration I’ve gone through it about 4 years because we used to do this when we were in Mexico,

I situate to you that there are some questionable things about the holiday we call Halloween. There are somethings that just don’t add up. So called remembering the dead, saints, and etc. Adults and children of all ages celebrate it. People dressing up as the dead, ghost, monsters, demons, witches and even the devil itself.
Furthermore, one should also keep in mind that no Halloween party is complete without Jack o’ lanterns, fake cobwebs and fake bats dangling from the ceiling or walls. Moreover, one can also ass cutouts of ghosts and goblins to their windows. However, although there are boundless traditional décor ideas one should not be apprehensive about experimenting for instance one can use artificial snow mixed with red paint to decorate the window sills in order to give it a bloody appearance.
