Halloween is an observance celebrated on the night of October 31, most notably by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting sweets.
The imagery surrounding Halloween is largely an amalgamation of the Autumn season itself, nearly a century of work from American filmmakers and graphic artists, and a rather commercialized take on the dark, occult and mysterious. This imagery generally involves death, magic, or mythical monsters. Commonly-associated Halloween characters include ghosts, aliens, ghouls, witches, bats, owls, crows, vultures, haunted houses, pumpkinmen, black cats, spiders, goblins, zombies, mummies, skeletons, werewolves, and demons. Particularly in America, symbolism is inspired by classic film, such as fictional figures like Dracula and Frankensteins monster in the vein of Boris Karloff and Alfred Hitchcock. Homes are often decorated with these symbols around Halloween.
Black and orange are the traditional colors of Halloween. In modern Halloween images and products, purple, green, and red are also prominent.
