How are you celebrating Halloween this year?

Halloween will be celebrated across the world this weekend, and we’d like you to share your favourite traditions with us.

In the US only Christmas is a more popular holiday than Halloween. Theme parks across the country stage Halloween activities, while Halloween parades like the New York City Village Halloween Parade are commonplace and attract thousands of costumed marchers.

In Mexico the Day of the Dead is a public holiday, and a chance for friends and family to pray and remember loved ones who have passed away, and support their spiritual journey.

What Halloween tradition are you particularly looking forward to this year? Maybe you are planning to improve on last year’s pumpkin sculpture, exploring a haunted house or making your own costume that will steal the show at a Halloween party you’re attending?

Whether its carving pumpkins, trick or treating or hiding behind a sofa having been finally persuaded to watch a horror film, share the Halloween traditions that mean the most to you. We’ll feature the best of them on the site.
