No, Halloween doesn't have to be scary. While  traditional costumes include ghosts, witches,  

black cats, and jack-o-lanterns, people can dress  up as anything they can imagine. For example,  

young kids often dress up as princesses,  fairies, angels, cute animals, and flowers.

Halloween can range from mystical to  whimsical and silly. According to one theory,  

dressing up originated from the idea of  hiding your identity from the dead. Over  

time, the philosophy has become  "the more original the better".

Therefore, it's not surprising to see  costumes inspired by popular movies,  

books, historical figures, and even  inanimate objects on Halloween night.

People of all ages use this day  to express their creativity,  

transforming into their favorite characters  or showcasing unique ideas. It's an occasion  

to have fun, celebrate with friends  and family, and indulge in treats.

So, while some might choose to embrace the  spooky side of Halloween, many opt for fun,  

light-hearted, and imaginative outfits.
