Halloween, in the past, used to be only a pagan celebration to remember the
dead. In fact, in many countries the holiday owned a religious connotation.
Following
such traditions, the media distorted the main purpose by including costumes,
candies, and several kinds of confetti.
This
influence attracted children’s attention to a point of massively
commercializing the event. In about thirty years, trick-or-treating became
popular among adults, too. Every October 31st, while kids knock on
the neighborhood’s doors with their scary outfits, the older ones search for
haunted fun places to celebrate death and blood.
In 2014
Pittsburgh, preparations already began and here’s a list of the hottest places
where to get excited with creepy assaults.
