Halloween is a holiday with a long history celebrated on October, 31. Its contradictive origin is considered to be influenced both by Christianity and Celtic festivals. It is a day to remember all the dead, but gradually its celebration has changed greatly from a serious spiritual day to a humorous and ridiculous death confrontation. Halloween is regarded a pagan festival in Europe, but still many people desire to communicate with spirits or foresee their future on this day. Nowadays it has been assimilated to the societies of different countries, but nothing can be compared with the annual parade in New York devoted to Halloween. It is a major nighttime parade, where thousands of participants wear colorful costumes, millions of spectators follow it either being present there, or on TV.
