Can you imagine Little Red Riding Hood costumes are going to become the scariest Halloween costume in 2008? It is because a movie about that old tale is about to be released. The movie - A Tale of LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD - is in horror theme. I really want to know who the killer is.
The movie will show the dark side of the tale. You will experience a totally different atmosphere. You will know what actually happens when a young beautiful girl is approached by a stranger. The content of the movie is kept confidential. You now only know that the big bad wolf is starving.
Once upon a time, an old woman is sick. Her granddaughter visits her and brings some food to her home. The young girl with a red hood takes a basket filled with lots of goodies and enters a forest by herself. That is a faster way to get to her grandmother's house.
'Red' - is scared out of her wits when she sees the big bad wolf! (He wants to eat her!) The wolf asks 'Red' where she is going. (Never talk to strangers!) She politely tells the wolf exactly where she is going. And even gives directions! The big bad wolf cleverly sends 'Red' off in another direction, so he can get to Grandma's house first (This is where the plot turns sinister!) The end.
Originally the tale aims to tell children that they should not enter a road that they are not familiar with. It will be very dangerous.
Let me tell you the history of Halloween as well. Halloween is a scary festival. It is usually celebrated on the last day of October which is the scariest night.
Halloween was first found in Ireland from a feast day called Samhain. People celebrated that once a year for the end of the harvest. Animals and crops were sent to the Gods in order to ask them to protect the human. They asked for peace.
People in the past believed that the door of hell would be opened on Samhain night. The dead could return to the earth. That is why people nowadays wear scary Halloween costumes. They wanted to kick the ghosts away. They did not want to be harmed. They normally dressed up like witches or goblins.
1st November is called All Saints Day, aka All Hallow's Day. The meaning of Hallow is "sainted ones" This religious day was started to release the strength the Samhain pagan ritual had over the Irish people. Samhain was called as All Hallow's Eve. People pronounced it as Sah-ween. So it is the reason why Halloween has a "ween".
On the eve of Samhain, the Celts placed nuts and berries on their doorsteps, these treats were to trick the supernatural guests from entering their homes.
When the Irish people immigrated to America, they brought the spirit of Halloween along.
You may enjoy wearing different costumes, eating sweets or playing tricks on Halloween nowadays. It seems that there is no longer any supernatural element.
But is that the truth?
Remember to get you Halloween costumes for the last day of October. You would never know if the spirits of the underworld is still around you
