Halloween and pumpkins:

The pagan celebration of Halloween falls around the season of autumn harvest.
Pumpkins are always at the center of this celebration, and one of the reason why pumpkins are used during this season is that;

the appearance or colour of the pumpkins (orange-yellow) represents the changes which takes place in the colour of leaves as they begin to fall off the trees during the season of Autumn, and also Halloween pumpkins are harvested in the autumn harvest.

Halloween is also a celebration which commemorates and honors the evil spirits and the satanic forces or evil energies of darkness as the givers of the autumn harvest.

Another common practice done in the celebration of Halloween was divination, which often involves the use of food and drinks as a channel where transmissions of curses, and evil energies are transmitted into the bodies of the people,

foods like; pork meat, candies or sweets, (sweets or candies mixed with gelatine which comes from pig flesh, animal blood and meat), Meat from animal carcases that have died on their own being sold in shops and markets as an honor to the celebration of Halloween.

Perverting marriages and influencing people who want to get married into the decision of choosing the wrong spouse:

In this Halloween greeting card from 1904, divination is depicted: the young woman looking into a mirror in a darkened room hopes to catch a glimpse of the face of her future husband.

Unmarried women were told that if they sat in a darkened room and gazed into a mirror on Halloween night, the face of their future husband would appear in the mirror.

However, if they were destined to die before marriage, a skull would appear.

The custom was widespread enough to be commemorated on greeting cards from the late 19th and early 20th centuries a ritual, which has hindered people from marrying their right soul mate.

TV shows during Halloween season:

The telling of ghost stories and viewing of horror films are common fixtures of Halloween parties. Episodes of television series and Halloween-themed specials

(with the specials usually aimed at children) are commonly aired on or before the holiday,

while new horror films are often released theatrically before the holiday to take advantage of the atmosphere,

where the evil energies or presence of Halloween is transmitted through the movies that are shown on TV and cinema theatre
