Why is Halloween popular?

One reason Halloween is so popular is it offers something for everyone. If you'd like to be someone else for a day, you can dress up in your favorite costume. People who just want to show their appreciation for Oct. 31 can put up holiday-themed lights and decorations. If you prefer the scary side of Halloween, there are plenty of fun scary things you can do like go to a haunted attraction or build one yourself, complete with a creepy Halloween coffin.

We’ve broken down this year’s Halloween essentials into three sections: best costumes, best decorations and best spooky items.
