To celebrate the coming of Halloween, children will dress up as various cute ghosts and knock on doors from door to door, asking for candy or else they will trick or treat. At the same time, it is said that on this night, various ghosts and ghosts will dress up as children and mingle with the crowd to celebrate the coming of Halloween. In order to make the ghosts and ghosts more harmonious, humans dress up as various ghosts and monsters. Among them, masquerade is the most romantic passion.
