Halloween

Easter in Canada is celebrated much like other Western countries. Christians attend church services, big family meals are served, and children hunt for Easter eggs.

Popular foods served for Easter include Maple Baked Beans, Potatoes Nicoise, Cape Breton Sconces and Apple Tart. Easter eggs are mixed with maple syrup.

Community hall theaters in major cities hold Easter plays and songs during the Easter season.

Yes. Halloween was brought to us in the early 1900's by the Irish and Scotch.

Halloween did not become a holiday in America until the 19th century... until Anoka, Minnesota started an organized town event to celebrate Halloween in 1920: it had the first Halloween parade!

Halloween actually started out as Samhain, a ceremony celebrated among Celts and their ancestors. It also marked the end of the winter solstice as well as a prosperous harvest. According to the tradition, this was the one night a year when spirits were free to walk the earth. Origin suggests that the Celtic families would hide in their homes in fear of these spirits or coming into contact with them.

the deleted Scenes in the movie Hocus Pocus are not released on any of the DVDs or VHS tapes. By my understanding, the deleted scenes were indeed completely filmed and ready too go. how ever to shorten the movie, Disney scraped the scenes. I believe Disney still has them, somewhere. In the trailers for the movie, it shows clips of the deleted scenes (such as the pool scene, the super market scene, and the candy crow scene). i am still one day hoping too find these scenes somewhere online or for Disney too release Hocus Pocus with the deleted scenes filled in. But as of now there is no way to watch the full deleted scenes :( i know it really sucks

Halloween, the night Michael Meyers came home, reigns as the most popular, successful, and possibly the best slasher film ever made. It certainly was the first real slasher movie and laid the groundwork for all that followed. Movies that proceeded Halloween had a piece or two of the puzzle, but in 1978, all the elements came together to form something that would become one of the most beloved sub-genres in horror film history… the slasher film! Some consider Halloween a whole lot more; many feel it's the best horror movie ever made. Whatever your opinion, it is a classic and has haunted millions. Who would have thought a William Shatner mask and a speechless "Boogeyman" with a butcher knife chasing a babysitter could change the face of horror?

The film has spawned seven sequels so far, who knows when or if Michael Meyers' saga will ever end. While Halloween didn't kick off that huge wave of similar films right away, it is the father of them all, even Friday the 13th, which did usher in the 80's slasher craze. It made John Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis household names to fans and used that most special holiday to scare millions for years to come. After Halloween, no holiday was safe ever again, nor babysitter, nor teenager having fun. The " Boogeyman" was now real. The film works so well because we never know the reason why, Meyers is just evil, an evil kid that grows into an evil man, coming home after escaping an asylum to terrorize a group of friends on Halloween night in suburbia. Maybe the simplicity of it all makes it work so well.

The film series has had good and bad spots. The direct sequel does a good job of picking up right where one left off. The third is a wholly different film and is Halloween in holiday theme and name only, but still a good movie. Meyers returned to the series thereafter and has remained and evaded destruction ever since. The sixth film is normally regarded as the weakest link, that is until we all scrutinize eight enough. Jamie Lee Curtis returned to the role that made her famous in seven, only to finally be killed by her maniac sibling in eight. Surely, Meyers will see the screen again sometime in the near future, as no horror "Franchise" stays dead long if it makes money. Perhaps Anchor Bay will release yet a few more versions to eager fans. Perhaps sequelization dulls memories a bit, but Halloween still stands as the most influential movie of its kind. No one who has viewed ever forgets it or Carpenters' memorable score. Where would we be without it?

It may not be a great song for puppetry but I suggest walking on air by kerli I did a solo to this song at a dance competition and I played a mysterious little girl as the song is talking about

For all intents and purposes, Halloween does not exist in Europe. There is a market for historical costumes , though in May various Joan of Arc festivals, cavalcades(Lit Horse parades) Battle reernactments (Rheims, of course)- are held. But Halloween does not exist AS WE KNOW IT in Europe. L"Europe Au Front!- Europe Up Front! a Popuolar slogan(Pun intended- Your up!) used by the Waffen SS of all people. They also had recruting posters showing suave Franco-German Tank troopers wearing Berets and using belt-mounted portable radios- Walkman l943 fashion!

I am not sure of the title of the song, but it was composed by director John Carpenter.

Yes. Canada celebrates Thanksgiving as a National Holiday on the second Monday of October every year.

"One, two, Freddy's coming for you.

Three, four, better lock your door.

Five, six, grab your crucifix.

Seven, eight, gonna stay up late.

Nine, ten, never sleep again."

In the original halloween series, it is "Halloween: ressurection"

But then in 2007 rob zombie remaked halloween, and in 2009 he made halloween 2 which is the last halloween movie yet, although halloween 3(D) is in the making, but rob zombie will not direct it.

You will need to call ahead. Any of the major grocery stores have a bakery and they will be able to make it. You need to give them a couple of days notice though.

Today, Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times), Gene Shalit, Peter Travers (Rolling Stones) and Leonard Maltin are pretty famous (now and for the past few decades). Back in the day (60s, 70s), Pauline Kael was very famous, and there have been a bunch of European film critics who became famous after becoming directors: Michelangelo Antonioni, Eric Rohmer, Jean-Luc Godard, Francois Truffaut, and others.

That would be episode 21. ''Until the Day it Becomes a Pumpkin!''

YES. They removed the hair, spray painted it pig belly white, widened the eyes and gave it brown hair. The mask in the film is easily reproduced if you can find a 1978 Kirk mask.

Most of people go to Halloween parties now but just a few dress up and usually only kids go ask for candies. It's a recent thing, it doesn't make part of our culture, We usually only dress up and have parties around the country in carnival.

Halloween - is a Pagan festival - with its roots in Celtic history - nothing to do with ancient Greece.

Most likely one of the early Colonists, after pumpkin was introduced to them by the Indians.
