Halloween is celebrated annually in Germany on October 31 — the night before All Saints' Day (from October 31 to November 1)

Halloween is not an official public holiday in Germany. However, the date of its celebration coincides with the Christian holiday, Reformation Day, which is declared a weekend in some federal states.

The history of the holiday: Halloween appeared in Germany due to the influence of American culture, especially after 1991, when the country abolished the traditional carnival celebrations of Fasching.

Decorating houses with cobwebs, ghosts from bed sheets and pumpkins with faces carved on them. Typical Halloween colors are black, orange, green, white, and red.
Dressing up in scary costumes: children and adults dress up as bats, ghosts, witches, skeletons, zombies, corpses, vampires, etc.
Treats — on Halloween night, children walk from house to house, shouting "Candy or life" (Süßes oder Saures) and hoping to get sweets from the owners. Those who refuse to treat the mummified procession get an unpleasant prank.

Traditions

Costume parties — young people can go to a nightclub with friends, where colored cocktails are served and an outfit contest is held, or organize house parties.
Themed tours — for example, the Moscow Zoo hosts annual tours with puzzles, scary legends, and animals.
Participation in horror films — at the Babelsberg cinema complex, you can take part in a horror film: zombies, witches, and creepy music from horror films.
