HALLOWEEN.







Trick or treat!

 We are sure you have heard these words every year when Halloween is near. It is also more than possible that you have said their Spanish equivalents ("¡Truco o Trato!" ) while going from house to house in your neighbourhood asking for candy.



This is one of the most popular traditions related to Halloween or All Hallows'Eve, a celebration that takes place in many countries every October 31, the eve of the Christian feast of All Saints (or All Hallows).

Trick or treating is not the only custom associated to this celebration. We are making a summary of the most important ones:

-Attending costume parties. People dress up in costumes modeled after supernatural figures such as ghosts, skeletons, monsters, witches and devils.



-Carving pumpkins into jack-o´-lanterns.



-Lighting bonfires.



-Visiting haunted attractions.




-Playing pranks (mischievous jokes).











-Telling scary stories.





-Watching horror movies.



Have you ever seen most of them? We think you have, since Halloween has extended to places where it had never existed, like Spain. 

We wish you have a frightening and scary Halloween. Enjoy the videos! They can help you to feel its atmosphere.




Here we show you some videos of two famous Tim Burton's movies: "Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Corpse Bride"

    Don't forget to check what the students of 1º and 2º of ESO have done with their pumpkins at school. Photographs have just been published on the web!

      Yes, I agree that Halloween is funnier than All Saints, but maybe not everything in life is fun, isn´t it?

    We think that Halloween is a hilarious party, but sometimes it is terrifying. For our opinion the second video is very funny, it´s a good idea. You must look it!

    This article is so nice! I hate the fact that here in Bembibre people don´t celebrate it that way. Since I was little I´ve always wanted to celebrate it and go around a
    housing state scaring people and doing the trick or trate thing dressed up like a monster. Maybe in the future! But I don´t really think that people will give me candies :C

  31. I like every video but in my opinion the best video its the simpson.
    In spite of the fact that the video is the 24th horror chapter but they continue being is very entertaining. And his director Matt Groening , in other chapters ,makes a big social report of the American life and his conduct.

    Shark attack is the best funny video that I´ve never seen, because the teacher has worked so much in this. In conclusion I learned a lot of halloween tradition in the U.S.A.
