Not that it’s a popular festival in this part of the world but there are still some signs hinting of its arrival. Some shops and department stores decorate with toy bats, spider webs, tapered witch hats and the inevitable pumpkin with a smile craved onto it. Yeah. If there is a chance to earn an extra buck (in this case, it is Euro), every commercial merchant will embrace it.
The ancient Celts believed that the border between this world and the Otherworld became thin on Samhain (which Halloween is associated), allowing spirits (both harmless and harmful) to pass through. So, whether you observe it or not, it is never a bad idea to follow some rules during Halloween.
1. When it appears that you have killed the monster, NEVER check to see if it's really dead.
2. Do not search the basement, especially if the power has gone out.
3. If your children speak to you in Latin or any other language which they should not know, shoot them immediately.
4. Avoid walking under a ladder.
5. Do not take ANYTHING from the dead.
6. As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.
7. Never stand in, on, or above a grave, tomb, or crypt. This would apply to any other house of the dead as well.
8. If you're searching for something which caused a loud noise and find out that it's just a black cat, …. GET THE HELL OUT!
9. If appliances start operating by themselves, do not check for short circuits; just get out!
10. If you find a town which looks deserted, there's probably a good reason for it. Don't stop and look around!

11. If you're running from the monster, expect to trip or fall down at least twice. Also note that, despite the fact that you are running and the monster is merely shambling along, it's still moving fast enough to catch up
with you eventually.
with you eventually.
12. If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit uncharacteristic behavior such as hissing, fascination for blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness, and so on, kill them immediately.
13. If your car runs out of gas at night on a lonely road, do not go to the nearby deserted looking house to phone for help. If you think that it is strange because you thought you had half of a tank, shoot yourself instead. You are going to die anyway, and most likely be eaten.
14. If you find that your house is built upon a cemetery, now is the time to move in with the in-laws. You still suffer, but at least your wife will be happy.
