Why are black cats considered a Halloween symbol?
Well, they are all black, so they blend in with the night, with only their eyes showing. Since their eyes glow, it gives them a mysterious, other-worldly type look. And they are nocturnal, so they have lots of opportunities to show that off.
Note-Some people are freaked out by this and think that black cats are evil/bad luck/ you get the point. Others love the way they look and, even if they don't like the way it looks, learn to look past that and see the black cat's personality. If you put all that aside, you can still make the point that the cats have black pelts for camouflage to blend in with the dark so that they can both hunt and hide, two things necessary for survival. Don't let yourself be prejudiced by a gift from nature, I'm just saying.
Because Halloween is a holiday that revolves around superstition, and black cats are thought of as bad luck in many cultures.
Because people say that black cats are evil and they are bads luck.

Why do you carve jack o lanterns?
There are many stories of how the Jack O Lantern custom came about in Ireland. One old tale says it was as a result of a blacksmith called Jack who crossed the devil. He made the devil promise he would not go to hell, but when he was denied entry to heaven, he was left to wander the earth. He told the devil he could not wander about forever in the dark and the devil tossed him an ember from the fires of hell, so Jack placed this in a hollowed out turnip. From that day, Jack roamed the earth using his Jack O Lantern to light the way so you might spot him when you visit Ireland this Halloween! It is said that when the Irish immigrated to the States they took this Halloween tradition with them, but instead of using turnips, then began to use pumpkins as they were much more plentiful!

Should a boy be a cheerleader for Halloween?
He should be prepared to have this haunt him for the rest of his life. In this age of digital connectivity, the digital pictures will NEVER go away. It will destroy any chance of a political career, and will follow you to your jobs, and resurface to screw with your relationships in the future. It would be a lot cooler to go as Octo-Mom.

are you crazy!!!wtf
ANSWER
I would recommend that he goes as a cheerleader. But if you do that youll need makeup, a wig, cheerleading clothes, nail polish, and he'll want to learn to have a high voice (this is not nescessary but it is a good idea). Halloween is the only safe time for crossdressing. A couple of years ago my sis and gf bribed me into going as a cheerleader for our school. I went in pink nail polish, wig in a ponytail, pink lipstick and gloss, pink shadow, liner, and blush high heels, and cheerleading short skirt (note that they held me down and shaved my legs and i hated it). He really needs to decide if he really wants it.
How can you dress up as the undertaker for Halloween?
Like most Halloween costumes, it will require a little creativity, work, or if you're buying the costume, some money. Dress as you think an undertaker would dress. I don't know any undertaker, so I don't know first-hand how they would dress.

What three unique trick can a harrierplane do?
A Harrierplane is a unique aircraft that can take off and land vertically which allows it to hover and move in any direction. This gives it a few unique tricks that other aircraft cant do. Here are three tricks that a Harrierplane can do:
- Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL): The Harrierplane has the ability to hover and take off or land vertically meaning it can take off and land in very small spaces.
- Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL): The Harrierplane has the capability to takeoff and land in a very short distance making it ideal for operations in areas with limited space.
- High-Speed Maneuverability: The Harrierplane has the ability to move in any direction allowing it to make very tight turns and other high-speed maneuvers.
These three tricks make the Harrierplane a very unique aircraft and give it capabilities that other aircraft do not have.

No. There was no Halloween then.
Even had there been Halloween in those times, He would not have celebrated it. It is a celebration of the devil, witches, witchcraft, and spirits. These are not the kinds of things He would have encouraged.
Even the concept of "trick or treat" (give me something or I will play a trick on you) is opposite to everything that He preached.

How is Halloween celebrated in Guatemala?
The Mexican People (or Guatemalan) don't exactly celebrate Halloween. They celebrate something similar, called Dia De Los Muertos. This is a holiday that pays respects to relatives that have passed on. The Mexican build altars with gifts to the dead, believing that on either the day for the young (Nov. 1st) or the day for the elder(Nov. 2nd), based on which one they are, they will come in the form of a monarch butterfly, and take the paid gifts. If the relatives don't find their altar and receive them, they will be very angry and haunt the people responsible. The Mexican lead large parades with large, colorful masks, some carrying coffins of recently died relatives. During the night, in rural places, citizens get together in a cemetery and spruce up graves of friends or relatives. They spend the whole night cleaning up the yard all together, though they make it more into a party rather than a large job to do. Mexicans do all this more in fear that their relatives will be angry rather than to celebrate.
