The most well-known symbol of Halloween is what these two - fantastic "Jack Light" and "do not you eat to make trouble" prank.

  【萬聖節節日活動】

紐約市也特別在萬聖節晚上舉行巡遊,讓一群吸血鬼,殭屍(zombie),女巫,科學怪人等齊齊現身,還歡迎市民到場參觀,到會者不限年齡、性別,不分階級、國籍,即使你是膽小鬼,也可加入他們的行列,來個熱熱鬧鬧的人鬼嘉年華會。

其實這些鬼怪都是人扮的,所以並不可怕,相反有些小鬼臉更非常可愛,令人置身其中,就如參加大型化裝舞會一樣。

在各式各樣的裝扮角色中,以女巫殭屍一族最多人扮演,而那些專賣萬聖節用品的.店鋪也特別準備這類衣飾出售,以迎合大眾所需;與此同時,生產商每年更會把當年大熱的人物造型包括面具及衣物推出市場,務求令更多人投入西方傳統節日的熱潮裡,如在電影<哈利波特>的小巫師造型,已是許多孩子必選的扮演角色。

格林威治村的萬聖節巡遊﹝Greenwich Village Halloween Parade﹞始於1973年,由一位面具工匠兼木偶演員Mr Ralph Lee發起,據說最初他帶著朋友和孩童一起在鄰居處遊行,後來漸漸演變成整個村的大型活動,而活動中當然少不了大型木偶表演,同時,巡行的目的更希望每一個人都是參與者而不是旁觀者,所以即使人們只是抱著想看熱鬧的心態,當你踏進村子裡,很快便會被邀請參與巡行,成為他們的一份子。

紐約市的萬聖節巡遊每年都吸引成千上萬的紐約人和遊客參加,而巡遊會在格林威治村﹝Greenwich Village﹞舉行,各隊伍約在夜晚上七時從第六大道與春天街交界﹝6th Avenue & Spring Street﹞起步,一直遊行至第二十三街﹝6th Avenue & 23rdStreet﹞為止,全程大概多個小時。

無論是來自亞洲,南美,非洲,歐洲,以至中東地區的參觀者,都可以把自己裝扮成各式各樣的人物,亦可帶備簡單樂器,即時演奏本土的獨特音樂,融合無疆界的風土文化。可能我以前從未參加過萬聖節的活動,更莫說這麼精彩的巡遊,所以特別覺得有新鮮感。

早於十月中,曼哈頓市已開始“鬧鬼”了,在繁忙的街道上,已看見四處懸掛起萬聖節的鬼怪裝飾,很多百貨公司也忙著把應節禮品及衣物堆放在櫥窗裡,吸引不少途人駐足觀看,而超級市場及街市亦擺放大大小小的南瓜售賣,供市民買回家佈置家園或製作南瓜燈之用,當然嘛,也有主婦烹煮南瓜作菜餚或糕餅,完全依足節慶傳統。
