Editor's note: Halloween is a celebration observed in a number of countries on Oct 31, the eve of the Western Christian feast formerly called All Hallows' Day, today known as All Saints Day. Originating as the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, Halloween is now a worldwide event. Let's take a look at how people across the world dress up to celebrate the festival.
