About Halloween
When the autumn wind blows and the autumn insects are chirping, apart from the fat crabs that can be eaten, it is time for us to walk at night to see "ghosts"! Don't worry, this ghost is not another ghost. I'm talking about the hot men and women walking down the streets dressed as ghosts in the name of Halloween.
Halloween (Halloween) is the eve of Halloween. In the Western tradition, the last day of October is the end of summer. It is considered to be the time when ghosts are closest to the world. There will be various evil spirits on this day, in order to scare away Evil ghosts wearing masks.
The theme of Halloween is nothing more than ghosts, scary, death, and magic. Black and orange are the main colors. Modern colors such as purple, green, and red are also widely used to create a terrifying atmosphere.
Today, I will introduce the best Halloween cookbooks for 2023.
