Some popular Halloween traditions and activities include, Trick or Treating, Costume Parties, Haunted Houses, Pumpkin Carvings, Halloween Decorations, or Watching Horror Movies.

“In 7^th and 8^th grade I would go trick or treating with my friends then we would go to someone’s house after and watch scary movies in the basement, Or in the younger grades we would go to this Halloween block party and spray shaving cream and cover each other.”- said math teacher Ms. Zale.
