Halloween is a holiday with many traditions including carving pumpkins, decorating with scarecrows, bobbing for apples, watching scary movies, and trick-or-treating. Pumpkins originated from squashes brought to America by French explorers. Scarecrows are used as decorations and to scare birds away. Bobbing for apples is a game where you try to grab apples with your mouth from a tub of water, without using your hands. Children dress up in costumes and go door-to-door saying "trick-or-treat" to receive candy.
