In old time, people tended to wear evil clothing like devil, Ghost and Zonbee. However, in recent year, people tend to wear cute clothing like animal, vegetable and fairy.
I joined halloween party on 31th Octber. I wore witch cloth and put devil horn on my head. I wanted to put fang on my teeth if I could. This party was concert of my favorite musician. Few years ago, he wore princess clothing. That was very nice. This time, he became dead princess. Halloween is interesting! You can enjoy wearing various clothing.
