Past Tense

On Halloween 2008, Little Red Riding Hood costumes are just going to be scarier! A horror film is to be launched soon with a new twist on an old tale. A Tale of LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD- the movie- is an action packed thriller. HmmI wonderWho will be the killer?

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.

The “Red” is scared when she meets up with the big bad wolf. The “Red” is asked by the wolf where she is going. She answers the wolf that she is going to her grandmother’s house and even tell the wolf how to go there. The big bad wolf tells the “Red” the opposite direction so as to let he go to the house in advance.

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.

Halloween also has a historical background. Halloween, the scariest night of the year, is usually celebrated on the night of October 31.

Halloween was originated from a religious day known as Samhain in Ireland in order to celebrate the end of the harvest. People donated crops ad animals to the Gods with fire and then they hoped for peace and protection in return.

In the old days, it was said that the dead people would come back to the earth on Samhain night. They would harm the human. They would also be in scary costumes. As people wanted to fight with them, they wore scary costumes as well. That was the origin of putting on Halloween costumes. People tended to wear witches costumes or goblins costumes.

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 day before Samhain, the Celts put buckeye and berries on their perrons. The treats were to trick the ghosts from coming to their houses.

The spirit of Halloween was brought to America when the Irish people moved to there.

Today Halloween is about dressing up in costumes, having fun, playing tricks, and eating candy. The division of the two worlds- us and the demons-seems to be cut off.

But is it?

When you are out trick or treating this Halloween, don’t forget your costume. The spirits of the underworld may be lurking in the shadows
