Halloween Candy


The popular Candy Corn

This tradition of offering candy/ food to spirits, where children pray to the dead in exchange for cakes, is a part of Celtic tradition. Later, it became a tradition to offer candy to kids on Halloween as a  treat.

Haunted House Attractions


The history of Haunted houses dates back to the 19th century in London, where people used illusions and attractions to scare people in the form of entertainment. Haunted house attractions are fun and scary. With the latest technology, sound effects, and motion effects, they create jump scares, making these a thrilling attraction during Halloween.
