In supermarkets we started to see pumpkins with eyes, “scary” treats and some spider webs. This is because The countdown to Halloween begins. An autumn decoration that, after its celebration, will give way to Christmas sweets.
In 2021 the party of Halloween will be held, as every year, the next 31 October. This year it falls on a Sunday, the eve of a holiday, since All Saints’ Day is celebrated in Spain on November 1. Besides Halloween, the 31 October The Day of the Dead is also celebrated in Mexico and the Samhain or Samaín Celtic in some areas of Galicia, Zamora and León.
A movie night
This festival is increasingly established in our country due to the series Anglo-Saxon in which they always usually make a halloween special. The most viewed are those of ‘The Simpsons’, ‘Friends’, ‘Modern Family’, ‘How I Met Your Mother’, ‘Lost’, ‘The Office’ or ‘Community’, but the list is endless. In addition, television networks usually adapt their programming by betting on some related content or some horror movie. Not to mention the social networks, which every October 31 is filled with original costumes, unflattering filters and party photos in which celebrities appear with all kinds of surprises.
The queen of Halloween, without hesitation, is Heidi Klum. The German model and businesswoman competes against herself, surpassing the costumes of the previous party each year. Klum dedicates hours to this party, with makeup artists, hairdressers and stylist, to be the star of the night. Among his most commented costumes is the reproduction of the Hindu Goddess Kali, another in which it seemed that the skin had been torn from her body and her interior was seen or in which she appeared with 5 models that seemed to be her clones.
Halloween in Spain
In Spain, the tradition of the ‘trick or treating’ in which the little ones in the house ask for sweets door to door has not been established, but the custom of dressing up in schools and decorating everything with pumpkins and spider webs has.
In addition, shopping centers, nightclubs and amusement parks take advantage of the occasion to celebrate one or more thematic days with fear as a common thread. Nobody is surprised to come across someone on the street this day with a face painted as a Mexican catrina or with a carnival headband.
