halloween is widely celebrated and hectically commercialized all over the world.
the history behind it is backed up by several different theories - ranging from commemorating
the day that the spirits of the dead are given a chance to roam the earth again, preparing for the
change of season which sees evil spirits being released, to retaliating against the dead who become
a danger to the living on the 31st of october as they bring illness and ruin the harvest...
halloween is also a great opportunity to have fun with DIY pumpkin projects.
