Are you s c a r e d yet?

Of course, you are! After all, it's that time of the year ,where horror is at its utmost peak. Every alley and doorstep has this spook to it. Doesn't it make you shiver? Every child has a mysterious smirk to them... You're suspicious, aren't you? Oh and of course, horror movies are gaining ridiculous business right now... Wonderful, isn't it?

It's not really hard to understand why everything is spooky; we all know what's happening, we all know the date.

Yet for those deprived souls, let me explain...



Today, is the scariest, spookiest and most shocking day of the year...after all, it's

H a l l o w e e n !!!

Halloween has an utterly intriguing past - it's origins belongs back to several years. Essentially, Halloween is a celebration of superstition and myths. Many believe the festivaloriginated with the ancient Gaelic festival- Samhain.

During this festival, many would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward of roaming ghosts and also attract insects and, wait for it... bats (consider bats the animal emblem of Halloween). Talk about freaky! You see, the Gaelic believed that on October 31st, the boundary between the living and the dead would break, causing the dead to create both havoc and damage for the living world.

Well.. That's some intense stuff.

However, in the eighteenth century Pope Gregory III designated a holiday on November 1st (All Saints Day) with similar characteristics to Samhain. Overtime, the evening before All Saints Day became known as Halloween, the day dedicated to ghosts and urmm...pumpkins.

Ultimately, Halloween has evolved in more ways than one; new traditions, superstitions and activities have been announced and practiced during the day. The festival has become dramatized and advertised excessively over the years. Halloween is now thoroughly popular in countries like; The United States, Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom, along with many other nations.

Currently Halloween is one of the most sought after festivals- it encompasses energy, excitement, and of course- tricks and treats.

Halloween just wouldn't be Halloween without both the Tricks and Treats. Trick or Treat is what every visitor e x c l a i m s once you open your door. Some visitors leave happily, thoroughly enjoying your treat while some leave a little memory' (aka trick) behind.

Just remember, though- its essential to be prepared for this day. Halloween can be hilarious - embrace it wholeheartedly! Stock up that candy, expect to get more candy and well, have some nasty tricks up your personal sleeve.

But wait...We, Crazy Creatives, are about to make your Halloween a whole lot easier! That's right! Let us give you a list of some the all time best Halloween tricks and tastiest treats.

I know, I know- we are your very own Halloween guardians - be thankful!

The Halloween Stalker

No one likes a stalker! But.. a stalker on Halloween night, now that's what I call a trick. A classic trick for Halloween is to become "The Stalker'. The trick is simple but utterly effective- essentially. You dress up in the scariest, most g r u e s o m e outfit you find and then locate your victim. Quietly follow them around- but make sure they see you once in a while... Try being a little spooky. Come in front of them once in a while, give them a intense stare - and well.. just wait for their horror to finally surface. Yep, that'll be one Halloween neither of you will ever forget.

Who let the pumpkin out?

Pumpkins have always been like a s y m b o l for Halloween - so what better way to trick someone than using that symbol? Basically, swiftly go around your neighborhood and quietly swap everyone's pumpkins- or even better, give them a few accessories. Draw something on it or maybe even give it a fake mustache. The weirder, the better. Your neighbour's reactions will be your prize. *insert insanely evil laugh*

Christmas in Halloween

We all love Christmas, we really do- but want to really p e r p l e x people? Get a group of friends and dress up in Christmas clothing, rehearse a few carols - or even go all the way out and have a fake Santa! Then, go to people's houses and sprinkle the Christmas spirit...in Halloween. Make sure people feel like you really think it's Christmas - give out a candy cane and hey, why not even make them a Christmas card? Their hilarious confusion and amusement will have your stomach in knots. You'll probably want to do it again and again and again...until Christmas actually arrives.



The Ghost and the Meringue

Okay! Let's be frank here- Meringues are p e r f e c t i o n . Now why not really create the most perfect meringues ever...Halloween style? Create meringues in the shapes of ghosts and provide your visitor's with a delicious scare. Halloween Meringues are perhaps one of the most adored treats anyone could ever get on Halloween. Yep, your trick-or-treater will definitely be one happy child once they leave your doorstep.


Honey and Halloween Popcorn

Okay! So you want to go simple but i n s a n e l y delicious? Well.. these treats are literally the definition of just that! The miniature cluster of popcorn, clung together by honey are not only easily delicious but also give a taste of the sweetness underlying within Halloween. Yep, you'll definitely be everyone's favourite with this treat.


The Cake with Pumpkin and Chocolate

If you want to make me smile, then give me some chocolate cake! It's really as simple as that! Even in Halloween, chocolate cakes can be the most c h a r m i n g treat anyone could ever really want. Especially, a chocolate cake with pumpkin. Sounds creepy, I know but it tastes amazing! The unique dish not only incorporates Halloween excessively but tastes so uniquely delicious, you'll have everyone people coming for more...and more (Yeh, better make heaps of this one).

Trick or treat, give me something good to eat. Not too big, not too small. Just the size of Montreal. ;)

I know I'll be scaring some kids tomorrow night when they come for candy. ;) Ah, the excitement. *evil laugh*
