Halloween Facts
- Black and orange are typically associated with Halloween. Orange is a symbol of strength and endurance and, along with brown and gold, stands for the harvest and autumn. Black is typically a symbol of death and darkness and acts as a reminder that Halloween once was a festival that marked the boundaries between life and death.
- Ireland is typically believed to be the birthplace of Halloween.
- Halloween has variously been called All Hallows’ Eve, Witches Night, Lamswool, Snap-Apple Night, Samhaim, and Summer’s End.
- Scottish girls believed they could see images of their future husband if they hung wet sheets in front of the fire on Halloween. Other girls believed they would see their boyfriend’s faces if they looked into mirrors while walking downstairs at midnight on Halloween. I will definitely try this :D
- They say that if you see a spider on Halloween, it is the spirit of a loved on watching over you.
- According to tradition, if a person wears his or her clothes inside out and then walks backwards on Halloween, he or she will see a witch at midnight.
- Thousands of people suffer from Samhainophobia which is an irrational fear of Halloween.
- It's believed that Halloween has been around for 6000 years.
- Owls were once believed to be witches. An owl's call was thought to mean someone was going to die. This was a popular belief in Medieval Europe.
- When the movie Halloween was made in 1978, the mask that Michael Meyers wore was actually a Star Trek mask of William Shatner. The producers of the movie were on a tight budget.
- Legendary magician Harry Houdini died in Detroit from a ruptured appendix on Halloween in 1926. Coincidence?
- Jack o' Lanterns originated in Ireland where people placed candles in hollowed-out turnips to dismiss haunted spirits.
- Black cats were originally believed to protect witches' powers from negative forces.
- Ringing a bell scares evil spirits away.
- More than a third of Americans say they believe in ghost, twenty-three percent claimed to have seen a ghost or sensed one's presence and about one in five people believe that spells or witchcraft are real
- Trick or treating had its roots in Europe. The custom known as "souling" dates back to the 9th century. On All Soul's Day which is November 2nd, the poor would walk through the villages and go door to door begging for food. They would be given "soul cakes" which is a type of pastry made from bread and currants. They would promise to pray for dead relatives in return for receiving the "soul cakes".
- On Halloween more people prefer Snickers to any other candy; of course, chocolate is a favorite for every holiday throughout the year.
- Nearly 5,000 people in the U.S. died in crashes during the Halloween time period from 1996-2005, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Celebrity Halloween
"In the regular world, Halloween is when children dress up in costumes
and beg for candy. In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when
a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything
about it." - said Cady in the movie Mean Girls.
Some celebrities will welcome Halloween with funny and crazy costumes, while others use this opportunity as a way to show their creativity and their body.
The best and most inspiring costumes are those that supermodel Heidi Klum chooses for Halloween. Every year she celebrates Halloween with her friends from the world of fashion and show business, where, with no doubt, she's a winner for the best costume.
See how celebrities look in their costumes, you might find some inspiration!

Celebrities like Audrey Tautou , January Jones , Freida Pinto , Astrid Berges - Frisbey , Olga Kurylenko , Alice Dellal , Mélanie Doutey and Lou Lesage gathered last night in Paris to celebrate the release of the new collection " Isabel Marant pour H & M " .

The collection will be realesed on November the 14th in around 250 stores worldwide.
"We wanted to present the collection in a way that reflects the
reality of the everyday , not extravagance on the red carpet , so I perceive my
work . My creations are intended for everyone, I find inspiration in the world
around them , and the urban environment has imposed a natural choice for the
background of this event. And it had to be Paris , it is part of me, "
said Isabel Marant
"I think it's great when a couture designer achieve such
cooperation and make their creations available to everyone. The pieces are very
desirable . I know that many will wait in line on the 14th , and it's
exciting , "said an American actress January Jones .
"This is my second time to attend the launch of designer
collection in collaboration with H & M . I believe that cooperation with
popular designers is very important for young girls they inspire , but for
someone like me who loves to shop at H & M 's. In this way, fashion is not
just beautiful and chic , but also affordable , "said a popular Indian
actress Freida Pinto .
" The street party was the perfect way to mark the release of the
collection that draws its energy from the casual Parisian style. The event
exuded optimism and reality , reflecting the sense Isabel Marant for urban
sophistication and bohemian spirit . I think it is a collection for women, men
and teens and I hope that our customers are equally
excited about the release of this collection , "said Maragreta van den
Bosch, creative advisor at H & M .
