Halloween 2020: Best classic horror movies you must watch this trick-or-treat festival

The month of October will end with the Halloween Blue Moon. According to a report in Britannica, “The celebration marks the day before the Western Christian feast of All Saints and initiates the season of Allhallowtide, which lasts three days and concludes with All Souls’ Day.”

In India, children have fun on Halloween, dress up in spooky costumes and visit friends with treat bags but it is not a holiday here. Halloween is celebrated every year on October 31 and this year it is on the weekend. For countries in the northern latitudes, the day marked the end of summer and the beginning of cold, dark winter when deaths and disease were common.

‘Trick or treat’ is said to have been derived from ancient Irish and Scottish practices. According to history.com, in Ireland, people would put on costumes and go from door-to-door and singing songs to the dead. They received cakes as payment.

Well, this Halloween has to be epic as it falls on the weekend, Saturday. Especially this year, with the COVID-19 pandemic changing the way we partake in classic Halloween activities like trick-or-treating, you might need something to redirect you to fictional places where all the horrifying stuff isn’t real.
